Love the podcast and honestly Robin is fantastic. Doesn’t speak too slow so that I don’t get bored but not too fast to lose info. Great voice and easy to listen to. Keep it up!
MedleyAnn · Jun 2024
This is a great podcast! Robin does very thorough research and is very victim centered. His compassion towards victims and their family members is so touching. Sometimes, in covering true crimes, you have to discuss difficult topics, but Robin always handles it with compassion and a desire to provide factual information. Where appropriate, he adds a little bit of humor. Looking forward to many more years of The Trail Went Cold!
