Love
Ok so I am new to podcast. I saw someone ask for recommendations and someone said this podcast is their sister and good, detailed research was done and it wasn’t just a quick Google search . They were not wrong and I’m obsessed!!! I started with the Dolly Oestereeich case and I fell in love with the show. Interesting, hilarious dialogue and researched excellent. Binging all thanksgiving while cooking and every day after lol thank you!! My new favorite! (Old shows were way too giggly and off subject for me but definitely seemed to change so if u start from beginning I’d stick with it).
Insensitive
Giggling while talking about a murder…gross and insensitive. Will never listen again.
Awesome
The best! Love this podcast!!
