One of the most insightful, thoughtful, interesting and entertaining pod casts I have ever seen. If you are a true crime fan, you need to add this show to your roster! Bravo!

SydneyRoo223323 · Dec 2024

You can tell that the host(s) really do their research, and that makes this podcast thorough and informative. I got into this podcast because I wanted to know more about the Delphi case, and I’m glad I did. One minor complaint—and I’m not sure if it’s just because the host was live and reading her notes, but during the live stream episodes she smacks her lips/makes a sound with her mouth after almost every sentence that makes me crazy. I have to listen to the episodes on a low volume because I’m very interested in the information, but it triggers my misophonia. Just want to put that out there in case anyone else suffers from this because if I weren’t so into the case, I would stop listening. The regular episodes don’t seem to have this problem, so it’s likely a nervous tick or something, but it’s maddening.

Many of the reviews that accuse this podcast of being bias are coming from their own bias opinions, which is ironic. What I’ve heard in all the coverage of the delphi case is observe and report. I started listening to this podcast with the coverage of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell- great series!! Thank you for all your hard work, commitment to the truth, being the voice for victims, and sharing your opinions while also giving both sides. My fav episodes are when Dr. John gives his psychological assessments!
