Customer Reviews
Enjoying listening to this
You’re doing a great job. Please look at the Amber Spradlin murder from Prestonsburg
Well done!
As a St Tammany resident I really appreciate the work you’ve done for Nanette’s family. Very interesting and very well done podcast!
What is happening?
After the most recent and largely significant developments in this case, I have been waiting to hear an update from this podcast considering it’s sole focus is on the Bardstown cases.
Nearly a week later and no update… only crickets. Not even a quick one with the preliminary details, has been released. This leaves me to question just how dedicated to solving the cases the hosts and staff really are in comparison to the entertainment value they sought to achieve.
Journalistic integrity is vital. You committed to covering this case, so cover it in it’s entirety and stop living off the revived interest due to recent arrest of Brooks.
At least give Crystal’s family that after using their tragedy to build your audience.
