Cousins by Blood

Excellent podcast. Very interesting and I love how the podcaster covers the investigation as they find new evidence.

Way overdue ,

Stop it

Please stop it with all these conspiracy theories. The man is guilty. He’s going to get the lethal injection. He is a killer and it’s time for him to go and give the families justice.

Disappointed

I’m truly disappointed in you Matt! From the beginning the people, Apple have supported you listen to your culture, shared it with people around the world. And now you go to Patreon and put content up that we can’t listen to. I’m very disappointed in the way you’ve thrown us down after we’ve supported you in your shows all this time. Sincerely, Matlock.
