Amazingly helpful content! I am constantly sharing episodes with my coworkers in the field of forensics. There are useful lessons in the episodes even if you aren’t specifically in the latent print discipline. The hosts are also great trainers.

I’ve been a avid listening of the DLP for a few years and I have now taken educational courses with both of the hosts which gives me a better understanding of their personalities! Lol! They are both awesome with great perspectives! Grateful that they continue to tackle relevant topics within the discipline and even some popular pop culture topics (like shows, documentaries, etc). I love it when they break down research that comes out in a way that make it easier to understand and articulate. Thank you both for all you do to propel our discipline forward!

The hosts are great, and there’s a lot of information regarding fingerprint analysis, even fir the layman. While sometimes it can have jargon that you have to have a bit of experience - either in the field or in forensics in general - it’s still a fascinating look at both the mechanics and the techniques in identification, with specific cases sometimes given as examples.

Great podcast for anyone in the field of friction ridge examinations. But they also have quite a few episodes on popular true crime cases which they dissect in detail as only two forensic experts can do. At first I came for the episodes on scholarly papers because, I don’t have time to read them and when I do, I don’t understand them. Glenn and Eric do a great job of making sense of these papers for those of us with common levels of intelligence. But I later found I enjoyed the interview and true crime episodes just as much. Thanks guys, take my 5 stars.

It surprises me no one has left a review yet. I enjoy the podcast topics and the hosts are kind of funny at times. The content is relevant and insightful. I enjoy the different points of view from each host based on their positions and vantage points which can differ at times. Thanks for talking and sharing these ideas with others in the field.
