Customer Reviews
Love it!!
Really appreciate how thorough and interesting this podcast is! Waiting for more! Obsessed!!
Update: love how this podcast is evolving- Devon & Asia are such dynamic hosts, highly recommend!
It’s ok
It’s true that the cases covered aren’t well known and that the stories are researched well enough. Unfortunately I found myself skipping forward a lot through the banter and rants, some of which made me cringe a little bit. I also think that the episodes are too short with respect to the actual minutes spent discussing the cases. The episodes feel a little incomplete. I definitely don’t expect the hosts of this podcast to change anything based on my review, but I do want listeners who are trying to figure out what to listen to to be aware that this podcast tends to present stories in a reductive manner, and there is a lot of banter and some ranting from the hosts.
AMAZING
this podcast is so highly researched and the passion the hosts have is contagious. it’s great to hear a podcast focus on stories less told
