Amazing True Crime Podcast
Guys…I just discovered this podcast in May. I went back and listened to every episode ever, and I am so saddened to hear that next week will be the final episode! :( I seriously feel so connected to Joshua and Sherie through this podcast, and I have learned so much about true crime. Also have to add in that while they don’t get super political within the show, it’s comforting to know where they stand as far as human rights issues (hint: it’s the compassionate side). Thanks for an awesome show y’all…you will be missed!
gr8 podcast, but i got some complaints.
if it wasn’t for the same old “which makes [killer’s name] a [zodiac sign]” for every time they say a killer’s date of birth, that would be great. what would also be great if they could stop being so offtopic for some of the murders to i guess in a way “relate” to the murders?
Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Keeps you interested and informed about the cases. They respect the victims and give them the recognition that they deserve. I love it every time they get a new topic because I can’t wait for the next episode. I hope they keep up the amazing work!
