Customer Reviews
Love!
Anna I am so happy you are feeling better and the podcast is back! What a great way to start the week!❤️
Faces for TV, Voices for podcasting
I dont even know how i got here, but im glad i did. The cover photo made me think I accidentally added a bachelorette recap pod to my library but was delighted to find out the 10s are talkin murder and crime. Love the daily dose, girlies. Keep it up.
Unethical
If you are looking for a true crime podcast that is actually ethical and respects the victims don’t bother with this one. I turned it off after 10 minutes because I couldn’t handle the constant hysterical laughing while simultaneously talking about a little boy being murdered and a women being assaulted and chained up. No they were not laughing at what happened to them but anyone who has common sense would know it’s rude to be laughing in that moment.
Some true crime podcasts were made to advocate for victims and others were made to exploit them for views….
