What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Definitely a favorite and look forward to listening each week. Sometimes the editing is messed up and the same clips will be spliced back to back which is always kind of a funny catch. Today’s episode also called infamous serial killer Edmund Kemper “Edward” Kemper which was surprising. Other than the couple of editing/naming errors I’ve caught, I have no complaints other than I wish there was more than one episode a week!

i've been listening for a while but ...you are the first podcast I've heard covering my good family friend, and her tragic murder, AND spelled and pronounced her name correctly. Scott and Anna-Sigga: thank you for the kind and accurate description of Telma's brilliant smile. my mom entrusted me to her care on beaches, wherever, from the time I was very very young and I grew up with her in my mom's close circle of lady friends. I remember when she was carrying her daughter. Separately I grew up with the Emery family. What happened was devastating to our entire community but I really wanted to go out of my way to thank you for the way you covered that.

My slow commute became much better once i discovered this show. So many true crime podcasts leave you wondering who did it. I love that we get a complete case with resolution each week. And it’s based on facts rather than rampant speculation.

prettieststar · Nov 2024

As a long time true crime podcast fan, I can easily say that this is the very best. Excellent research and presentation, and hosts who are coming from a lifetime of knowledge and experience. What more than one ask?

Rock N. · Nov 2024

In your episode you specifically state his family DID NOT want their personal business out in public, then you make an episode including that information???? Was there no other case you could've covered instead?? Did you have any contact with the family to ensure they were okay with you capitalizing off of their pain that they wanted to keep private?

I can no longer ignore the racially tone-deaf dialogue of these episodes. It is very clear this is told from a white persons perspective and it’s embarrassing. Episode 126 is the last one for me to endure; I stopped the episode and unsubscribed. Then came here to finally write a review so I can purge my self-guilt of ignoring and continuing to listen to this podcast. The description of how the neighborhood was changing (like many neighborhoods in Brooklyn- which was given as a comparison) after “economic down turn” was used AGAIN in this episode. Use the truth so you can stop sounding foolishly ignorant. The neighborhood was being GENTRIFIED - aka it was now seen as having value again because of white peoples’ free will to move their way back into neighborhoods after years of racial profiling, discrimination, neglect etc. etc. , BECAUSE of white flight. Then the comment about the neighborhood wanting more police presence- that was it for me. I can’t and won’t with this podcast anymore. I assume both hosts are intelligent people in their profession. Now it’s time to become racially intelligent especially since their podcast uses people color to make their money. Stop taking advantage of people of color in this podcast until you can figure out how to be honest with yourselves and how you tell the story.
