First off, I wish it was longer! But I love the personalized stories, what the host asks & decides to highlight in this story. Thank you for this content because it is important to be this type on content out

Good enough

Interesting stories but do we really need the entire recap at the end

Important podcast!

The True Crime community is vast and while murder certainly could happen to you, the chances of being with an abusive person or stalker is far greater and more common than people think. I’m so glad there are podcasts like this one emerging. If you are in an abusive relationship-even if you’re not sure and think you might be-please call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline. They have so many resources to tell you about and are there to listen and help. I felt dumb the first time I called, but it was one of the best things I ever did.
