The material is good and put together well. The narrator ruins the whole podcast. After a couple episodes, his similes become beyond irritating….more irritating than listening to 30 students scratching their nails across a chalkboard. These stupid sayings are put in to emphasize and exaggerate points every few minutes. Unfortunately, he is so overly dramatic making the show seem less of a grownup true crime podcast and more of a gossip podcast. I cannot listen to him anymore, so I am unfollowing. I like the content, but there are plenty of other shows.
For the love of god read and listen to the many reviews pleading with you to stop the same tired puns and jokes. It’s so flippant and actually kind of disturbing to use them when telling of such terrible acts of violence. These stories are much more than simple entertainment. The puns sometimes literally make me turn off the podcast and not turn it on again until I am desperate for something to listen to. It would be decent otherwise. The music & sounds could use work, they are a bit distracting. Truly I think the things being done to try to set this pod apart are actually hurting it, but the content is decent and different enough that the other stuff feels unnecessary.
Content of this podcast is outstanding. The one thing that bothers me is the puns; they come off as callous, and in very poor taste- without regard to how victims/family members of victims might react to these completely inappropriate puns. Just drop that part, and you’ll have an even better production.
I like this show because I hear stories for the first time unlike other podcasts where it’s either the same story we’ve all heard a million times or a story where you never find out what happened or who the suspect is. Yes there are some corny lines because it was for TV but don’t listen to all the negative reviews here. It’s a good show to listen too I just wish there were more episodes and newer episodes more frequently. Please start releasing more new episodes
I listened to two episodes but can’t do another due to the disrespectful puns surrounding a child’s assault and death. I imagine the hurt the family feels as their loved ones story is stuck in the middle of a bunch of tongue and cheek, inappropriate comments. Do better
Not only are the puns completely stupid and cheesy, but they’re distasteful and seem to be making light of horrible situations. I was listening to one about an 8 year old girl being murdered and could not get past the host/narrator/whatever making constant jokes about suspects and situations. It’s gross and so inconsiderate. Do better.
