Comfort show

Forensic Files has always been a favorite because it was a favorite of my late grandfather. Since I’m on the spectrum, this is one of my comfort shows and calms me when I’m anxious. I’m ecstatic that this classic show has been turned into a podcast, now I can enjoy whenever I’m anxious or out in public. Thank you!!!

Absolute favorite podcast!

Have always loved Forensic Files on TV & now I can listen when tv isn’t an option. I’m glad they’ve brought it back as FF II but Peter Thomas is simply irreplaceable. I cried when he passed, what a talent he had for narration. Please keep them coming, they never get old! : )

1 great, 2 🤮

The OG is amazing. Wish they would port more episodes. The revival (forensic files 2) host is trash. His narration style is horrible and doesn’t flow & he comes off creepy, fake & overly dramatic.
