I am addicted to your awesome voice and dramatic pauses. Your storytelling is the best in the true crime genre!
Lilistarz · Sep 2026
You are a great story and I’ve been listening for years however the ads now have taken up more than half of the show. This pod is already short , with the lengthy ads it kinda takes away from the story telling . I understand the revenue aspect but could you move the ads to the after show episodes which tend to be much longer .
Strjazznochaser · Jan 2026
The pod is great. I love that the spotlight is being put on black women who don’t get enough coverage. The only thing I don’t care for is the ads. There is more ads than podcast. A deeper dive would be amazing on these stories. Other than that I love this podcast! I listen in the car on the way to work. It’s apart of my morning routine!

Amara is such a great story teller. With each episode you can tell she has spent time researching is very intentional about the story she crafts. Her voice is soothing, even while telling often horrific stories. She is very thoughtful and tactful in her delivery, every time. Currently binge listening.

I love the podcast and I enjoy the highlighting cases but man the ads!!! Like half of the podcast is now ads. I have listened to almost every one of the episodes and it’s overwhelming now to the point I don’t want to listen. Please find another way to make your earnings cause you’re losing listeners which hurts more than just a rating. These stories need to be told and shared but the ads need to get tapered back by about 50%.
Beya · Jun 2026
I came to this podcast to hear important stories about missing and murdered Black women, not to sit through an overwhelming amount of ads. Every episode is at least 15-20 minutes of ads. The latest episode felt like 10 minutes of content and 20 minutes of advertising. It’s frustrating to hear repeated discussion about how society ignores missing Black women while their stories are also being heavily monetized for personal gain. These cases deserve thoughtful, respectful coverage, and the constant interruptions made the episode feel insensitive. I’ve unfollowed.
