What a fun way to hear new cases in a short format! The revolving hosts are a real treat!!!
Unlistenable

The host of this podcast is hard to listen to. He’s often monotone and “mealy mouthed”. And he gives so many extraneous details, goes off on tangents, and rambles about things that aren’t related to the story. There are so many true crime podcasts, there are certainly better ones to listen to.

I really didn't care for how you insulted Dennis Murphy of Dateline in your Woman at the Bar episode. I feel your comments regarding your opinion of him were unnecessary and unprofessional. Making him appear to be lacking in some way also makes you look bad.
Great Variety

I just binged this series over the past 2 days and I love it! What a GREAT concept. I enjoyed sampling podcasts I haven’t listened to before and am looking forward to checking out the podcaster’s regular show. There were a couple of these stories I passed on because I’ve heard the story many times or the host’s voice, speaking rhythm or delivery were not for me. This is the perfect way to discover new true crime podcast and I think that is super cool!
