I really enjoy listening to Emily and Shane! I love how thorough they are in their discussions — they really dive deep and cover all the angles. Their commentary is sharp, and the banter between them is always fun and engaging. I'm so glad they have their own channel now, and I’m definitely looking forward to more episodes!

Love Emily and Shane. Their banter and dissecting and legalese of each case. Never miss an episode. Told my nieces to listen too. One loves true crime like me. The other is in law school and know she’ll also enjoy it. 👍🏻😊
