Kill List

Great podcast, starting with the mystery of this kill list and who’s behind it, and then deep diving on the individual stories of people who’ve either been targeted, or tried to place a hit. It’s incredibly gratifying to hear stories of crimes being averted, for a change.

Hello, This has been a very interesting and informative podcast, but I was troubled with some of the terminology and descriptions used in the Berlin episode to describe his occult-like practices. As a practitioner of witchcraft who is a person of color, it has been hard to listen to the use of the words “black magic” which has some implicit racial bias, and use of the term Voodoo which is a religious practice more so than a craft-vs. Hoodoo- used to describe a play dough doll and witchcraft (which is more than what you haven’t described) feels wrong, well more so incorrect. Use of such language continues to perpetuate a meaning that is laden with racial bias and discrimination and has implications for people like me. I think in the future, it would be good to share your script with a sensitivity reader who is versed in such practices and is of person of color so you share something that is more accurate and respectful. Otherwise thank you again for all that you do! What you do is important! Thanks again!

This is one of the most engaging and well-produced podcasts I’ve listened to all year! The investigative journalist takes you on an epic journey full of unexpected twists and turns.

Shout out to the female journalist that pointed out that the perpetrator in this episode was not in fact spiraling out and that is a typical excuse for domestic violence. Also, I think you’ve done a lovely job at protecting victims while not making hard assumptions. Will def seek out more podcasts you put on. <3

It might look creepy, disturbing, and haunting but honestly this whole show was just boring. It took a really great premise and dumped it in the hands of bumbling journalists who come off as awkward, overdramatic, and pretentious. Absolutely anyone else, preferably with a niche for true crime, please take the idea of a kill list and build it into something better. A better story worth telling. Unsubscribed.

Like a lot of reality TV, when a creator doesn’t have enough content to fill the bucket for advertisers, the “journalist(s)” either makes themselves a bigger part of the story than they should or constantly repeats teasers to small payoffs. This podcast does both. It could have been 3 episodes.
