W. Mark Duda ,

Please more than Daybell

5 star review because the combination of Lauren’s first class journalism and Dr. John’s analysis is second to none. I would definitely like to see the coverage/topics more varied. For example, I was really hoping for a topically appropriate, time-sensitive update on the LISK case today rather than more Daybell. The Daybell coverage has been awesome, but there is a lot happening out there. Would have loved a LISK update, more on the Read case, a bit more Soto, More IDAHO…. I feel like it’s time to back away a bit from Daybell. Just IMHO, still 5 stars!

Chad AWFUL Daybell

During the trial, I listened to several different podcasts. However, you guys were really on it from your interviews with different doctors and family etc. was extremely interesting and also much information was based on actual facts. Thanks so much you guys are great! I look forward to much much more!

True Crime with Experts

This is one of the BEST. It is nice to hear analyses of cases by actual experts. I am just sick of the many podcasts by amateurs giving opinions. Dr. Babe and Lauren are entertaining to listen to yet don’t use true crime as entertainment. Not to mention, Dr. John is incredibly intelligent and well read, yet extremely humble. Great job guys and I am glad you found one another. Your mutual affection for, and obvious amusement of each other, is heart warming. Educational, informative, while being respectful to the victims.
