found miss michelle back in 2024 and ever since been obsessed. she is someone i suggest to literally anyone who is wanting to get into true crime, because not only does she explain the cases so extremely well but she also takes her time to acknowledge the victims who are in the case and there is not many people out there who are that considerate!! so so worth listening to or even watching on youtube, if you are looking for a new true crime podcast this is the one :)

kennyyyy! · Oct 2026

I really love this podcast and the way the cases are presented. But please for the love of god fix the sound design, anything you say is crazy quiet which wouldn’t even be that bad if the ads didn’t blast out my ears cause the sound levels are so different. Also the inserted sound bites from reports or 911 calls are the same really loud as the ads in contrast to the actual content of the podcast

I look forward to listening to these episodes so much! Not just being informed, but really learning. You can tell Michelle truly feels for the victims and does them justice by telling their story.

Avers111 · Aug 2026

I have to respectfully disagree with the recent review about the Tyler Robinson episode. Michelle never presents her own opinion as facts or tells listeners what to believe. This episode is a compilation of the evidence that has been made public so far, along with different theories and discussions circulating online. She clearly talks about multiple perspectives, including Candice Owen’s theory that it could have been an inside job, not because she is endorsing them, but because they are part of the public conversation. At no point did I feel like she was trying to sway listeners or potential jurors. In fact, I thought she did a good job separating confirmed information from speculation and reminding listeners that the case is still developing. For people who don’t spend hours on social media following every update, her episode is a great way to hear all the publicly available information in one place. I’ve listened to this podcast for a while now, and one thing I appreciate the most is Michelle presents facts, explains what people are saying, and lets us make up our own mind. That’s exactly what I felt she did here.

Reese.3307 · Jul 2026

I loved this as a true crime podcast, where she was going through either cold cases or cases that had been solved that were of interest. And then she went into the arena that I don’t believe any worthy news person should go into. Debating the evidence her at just the evidentiary hearing for Tyler Robinson. You can’t do an effective deep dive on just the basic evidence laid out in a case like that. You don’t have all the information, they are just giving enough to have the judge decide there is enough evidence to have a trial. So yes, it’s going to be vague. You should not draw conclusions at that point guilty or innocent. The risk of this podcast is that is now being broadcasted and is potentially swaying some jurors.
