Customer Reviews
Great listen and good story telling
Love the true crime genre and had been in search for an Indian true crime podcast. Khooni is well researched and the story telling is amazing also love the chemistry between the two. Keep up the good work!
Good concept but bad delivery
I was very excited to see another podcast showcasing crimes from the desi community after the Desi Crime Podcast but this one just puts me off. The delivery of the stories is very poor and not at all in a flow. You can tell they are reading from a script but that’s not the issue. The issue is the pausing in between sentences, repeating words and overall writing of the story.
Mediocre Quality and Boring Narration
An Indian crime podcast as a subject matter has a lot of potential and it is not hard to make it interesting and gripping. But the narration style of the hosts is pathetic, there is victim blaming and the hosts are quite insensitive at places. I listened to 1-2 episodes and discontinued after that. I would pass listening to this podcast, it is a waste of time.
