Murder Sheet

I quit when they explained what a strike is. Your audience isn’t dumb, and you’re not so smart.

I really want to continue listening to them because some, and I emphasize some, of the topics are interesting but every episode inevitably turns into high horse lecture chastising everyone from other podcasters to their audience. It really came to a head for me a few months ago when they were basically saying other podcasters should exit the True Crime arena because they don’t belong there. I just don’t understand why they feel entitled to this arena, example seats to the Richard Allen Case, while chastising other people for wanting to be there as well.

I don’t understand why people can’t take this podcast for what it’s worth. Listening to their coverage of the Delphi trial and finding it the best there is. They are suitably skeptical about both sides—presumption of innocence and all that—but rational in their skepticism unlike many others. They are also funny and quirky and down to earth.

For people who are interested in the trial, the victims and the actual legal goings on in the courtroom in Delphi, please consider putting a time stamp on the place where you start to talk about the trial. I listened to 29 minutes of complaints (some valid re: access, media, etc.) but it was just a matter of time before the trashing of Bob Motta really got to the point. Y’all. You have some valuable information and I would argue you have a valuable platform. I don’t haven any opinion on Motta one way or the other. But what I do know is that your audience, the people of Delphi and legal observers, etc. would be better served by you two using your incredibly valuable seats to talk only about the trial and not drag out some ongoing beef. For what it’s worth I did check out some of Motta’s coverage. He’s pretty clear he is defense team all the way so it’s not really all that surprising he would be there. What is surprising is you all continue to hammer on this when you have a lot of good info that loses value because of your ongoing beefs.
