This show is truly the best true crime podcast I’ve heard (and I listen to most of the popular ones!). I really like that the host is speaking to people who have a connection to the case, and not just doing “research” on a search engine- this gives the podcast a lot more credibility. The host also makes a concerted effort to recognize those affected by the crimes and not glorify the perpetrator— another thing that I find, disturbingly, all too often in other podcasts. This is a really well-done true crime podcast that reports true crime stories accurately and with compassion.

Great questions by interviewer and a welcome change from so much filler and pomp on many true crime podcasts. I’m amazed it’s not more popular.

As a lister in the US I like hearing about cases in Australia and other countries. This is a favorite that I always look forward to hearing. The stories are new and fresh and well presented. Thank you!

I listen to numerous True Crime podcasts. So much so, that I gave up Netflix and Hulu as my tv break options. I’ve binged this podcast for the last 3/4 days. Interviews and interviewees are excellent. Love the format. Keep up the great work. A USA fan!!!

There is little nuance on this podcast and a lot of judgment. Especially with cases involving domestic abuse/intimate partner violence. Frequently, the language used by guests isn’t thoughtful or inclusive; it’s a huge oversight when it comes to persons involved in the criminal justice field where race plays a huge part. For example, a recent guest (Jan 5) described someone “converting to Muslim.” No. You convert to Islam, thereby becoming a Muslim. Simple things like that make me question someone’s expertise. In sum, the podcast doesn’t add anything new to the true crime genre.

I’ve loved this podcast for a long time but I only recently came across the Maura Murray episode. I was SO disappointed to see you chose to interview James Renner for this. He’s made outrageous and unfounded claims against the Murray family and is the WORST person to talk to about her case. It’s such a poor choice it makes me question the trustworthiness and accuracy of every episode and interview. So disappointed.
