Great podcast

I could listen to these two talk about anything. Great chemistry between them. Good true crime concept. Very respectfully done.

My favorite podcast!

Every week I look forward to hearing Kate and Paul discuss another “buried” mystery. Their interaction is great and the stories are always intriguing.

I love all the anecdotal information about their families and fish.

I also feel connected because I live north of Austin and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area.
Great job!

So hard to find good podcasts without any bias in them. Paul Holes in very intelligent. Enjoyed his commentary. Female host, good grief, liberal all day. Whiney woman.
