Customer Reviews
Needs improvement and rehearsals or a script
Content is there but the hosts are so irritating to listen to. She can’t get the the point so much stuttering and unrehearsed rambling, quickly rushing to the end of the story but then back tracking for so long about useless points of the plot and this guy is funny but only the type of funny you can handle in person after a beer or two. We don’t want to hear you constantly interrupting someone who already can’t get to the point jesus, made me so annoyed couldn’t even get through an episode
Needs improvement
I’m listening to the lululemon episode as I write this. First things first, your husband is immature and annoying with all of the side comments. You need to dive deeper into the lives of the perpetrators and victims. Talk about their early life, and how they got to this point. Also, the episode seems all over the place. I think this podcast has potential if you kick your husband off, and do better research.
Why tho…
Why do these husbands who join their wives / girlfriends on these true crime podcasts always think they’re so funny interjecting with comments & immature jokes. Not what people come here for take that to a less serious podcast not involving entirely around the deaths of real people who have friends & family. Don’t know if they’re trying to show off for their SO or what but it’s off putting & takes away from all the other research.
