Seriously one of the best, most exposing “true crime” podcasts ever

I probably won’t do a great job of explaining just how fantastic I think the podcast is. He dives deep, with recordings of events, and tells the story completely - all figures involved are scrutinized equally. It’s such a refreshing, entertaining, and educating ~1 hour. Thank you!

His hypnotic voice will draw you in

What a great podcast, no annoying back and forth about, just the layout of facts, peppered with a bit of deadpan sarcasm, a la Fight Club.

This here dude, known only as A Concerned Citizen, reminds me of The Narrator in that aforementioned film. His voice is so mesmerizing and hypnotic that you can’t stop listening to him. He’s also done his homework and handles himself well, with sound effects and audio archives to match the quality. Keep up the good work, Concerned Citizen!
