13 Hours Inside the Nova Scotia Massacre: No Spoilers!
This true-crime podcast is about the very recent crime of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacre which happened in April of this year and was a mass shooting but unlike any others I’ve heard of. I say this not to sensationalize it but to highly how different the shooter went about the crime as well as how unusual the shooter himself was. Here in America where I live we hear a lot about young kids committing mass killings in schools but this crime isn’t anything like that. The show takes you through the 13-hour shooting spree that left 22 people dead, 3 injured, and 16 locations on fire. Solo host of the 13 part miniseries Sarah Ritchie, a reporter for Global News in Halifax, tells the confusion of the quiet community of Portapique as it erupted into gunfire and flames and what about the perpetrator caused the scrambled initial response of the RCMP. It opens up an interesting discussion of what led up to the shootings and what could have been done to prevent it in the middle of a pandemic lockdown in a place where the weapons used were already banned. It’s one of the saddest thorough accounts of a mass shooting I’ve heard on par with the account of the Pulse Nightclub Shootings. About half of the 13 parts have been released with the latest one coming out on December 21st and on average their length is about 37 minutes long with no commercials. New episodes seem to come out twice a month. All voices including the host and guests have been recorded in good quality and the music isn’t overpowering but complementary. Trigger warnings with domestic abuse, mass shootings, and mental health. Itunes has a solid 5 star average ratings with 77 ratings and 11 written reviews.

The content of this podcast is interesting and it’s been enlightening to hear of the events of this terrible tragedy. But the episodes are released with huge gaps in between, and then twice at once, with no real schedule. You lose interest and forget what happened as there are weeks without...Read full review »

This podcast was great Episode 1-4 then completely lost steam. It went off the rails when as kept going back to the various feminist activists for comment.
