True Crime · A&E / PodcastOne
by A&E / PodcastOne
Based on the iconic, Emmy-nominated series on A&E, this show explores some of the most difficult-to-solve murders, which stymied investigators and went cold, sometimes for decades. In fact, one-third of all murders in America remain open. But thanks to dogged investigators and breakthroughs in forensic technology, these cases become part of the rare 1% of cold cases that are ever solved. Cold Case Files is narrated by Marisa Pinson.

Updated 5 March ‘24 to add: I don’t mind the new narrator (I like her voice better than Paula’s), but the quality of the audio of her segments is not great. Lots of hiss, feels like a low bitrate or something. The interview segments are fine so I know it’s not my connection. Thank goodness that extra content has been nixed! — I don’t mind Brooke’s narration (I was a listener of her other podcast, and I like her voice better than the new gal) and am amused at the array of adjectives that she uses to describe the legendary Bill Kurtis… but what is up with the extra content lately tacked at the end? Twice as long as the episode itself! And no information in the show notes. I skip over it.
I absolutely am addicted to all things crime. This podcast is well told, and it keeps your attention. The music is classic and isn’t annoyingly loud. It feels professionally done. If I could offer One Piece of advice to the narrator: to soften her voice. Vocal fry pops up every now and again
Stories themselves are great, but please, change narrator! Her toneless voice is so irritating, it's ruining the complete podcast. She needs to take serious lessons on how to express some feelings and excitement when she talks. Would be perfect with a decent narrator and less adds.
I pop this podcast on during my grueling silicon valley commute and it really makes the time and drive go by fast. Sometimes theyre so good i sit in the driveway just to hear the end! I enjoy Brooke and Mr Kurtis—both are great. I hope we can get more new episodes soon as Im running out of episodes!
I tried to listen to this podcast, since I adore Bill Curtis and am a true crime junkie. But the amount of ads for such a small amount of story is ridiculous. Additionally, Brooke is extremely hard to listen to. She repeats things and does not enunciate her words ever. It’s like listening to someone who’s been drinking all day. Unfortunately, I doubt anything will come of this, since, based on other reviews I’ve read, the producers seem to turn a blind eye and ear to the reviews. This could be a great podcast but needs some major overhauls first.
I love the classic episodes hosted by Bill Curtis, but just so confused on how Brooke Gittings snagged this hosting gig. Her voice, presentation, delivery, and commentary are all so immature, and just hard to listen to. I just have to skip her episodes. It’s so disappointing, especially considering it’s an A&E product. And, please re-record her episodes with Paula!! The re-releases are like double punishment.
