Customer Reviews
God awful
The hosts are horrible. Trying to be relevant, funny and have engaging banter isn’t working. Tone it down and tell the stories!!
Painful
I was looking for a podcast regarding the embezzlement in Dixon Illinois and hoped this podcast would provide insights.
I was disappointed in this podcast. First the two hosts invested the first four minutes debating one of the hosts nicknames and some irrelevant points about their guest.
The two wandered off topics on multiple occasions which was unrelated to the main story.
It appears the two were reading an article and injecting their comments trying hard to be funny and clever falling short on both aspects.
If you are looking for new insights into the embezzlement, this isn't going to assist.
What did I stumble upon 🤨🤔
Was excited when I found this podcast. I’ve already listened to Swindled dozens of times.. While waiting for new material, I thought it would be nice to look up other podcasts with similar topics.. I was so disappointed. I’ve had high hopes, but I couldn’t even follow with these two. Constant chatter on unrelated issues, which seem to just be personal opinions. I honestly thought I was in the twilight zone for a second there. There is no way this podcast can have thus many episodes and be this horrible. Not good at story telling, not good with sticking to facts n not opinions, the laughing and the constant language was horrific. Not to mention 20 mins in and they are still talking back n forth about nothing. I love the guy on swindled. Very professional. These guys are clearly aiming for something else 😩😟
