Fantastic podcast
Well written! I love true crime podcasts and this is a great newer one. There are a lot of lesser known cases so you aren’t always hearing the same cases over and over. Definitely recommend.
Great!
Besides supporting the self-proclaimed Marxist group: BLM, this is a great podcast! Instead of supporting a violent group, let’s use our platform to promote real change through congresspeople, town hall meetings, and becoming educated voters of our sheriffs.
Podcast Dreams
This podcast is what dreams are made of. Her voice is soothing. She is very respectful of the victims and their stories. Her audio quality is amazing. You would be crazy not to listen to Jenny. Keep up the good work!
