Sound effects are annoying
Great story and storytelling but the Twitter sound effects make it difficult to want to keep listening. They are unnecessary and distracting.
Well done
Bad reviews of this seems to be from those ignorant that the episodes are being released for free in time.
The host has a great affect, and the details are unveiled well often with quite the hook at the end of an episode.
Unfolds like a true crime podcast, and doesn’t contain gratuitous violence or vulgarity. Also there aren’t too many ads, and they don’t repeat too much to make the episodes longer.
