Customer Reviews
Great Find
The original radio series is five star. The introductions and conclusions of this podcast don't add much value and are sometimes a distraction.
So Good!
These are so good! Thanks Andrew!
Good for everyone
I love this podcast you have no cuss words in it so it’s good for young kids. It don’t have no graphics about the murder so they don’t get nightmares. I’m 13 and I am absolutely in love with this podcast.
