The encores are lazy ways to get listens. Super frustrating.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast with the exception of hearing Erin Moriarty’s commercials.You should at least only make us suffer through it one time instead of repeating it. Also please do something about the thunderous background sound effects! They can’t be good for our eardrums!

Love it!

WAYYYY too many repeats. Don’t like Erin’s voice. They need better editing.

Thank you for the timely reporting!

Just came across this podcast and I’m glad I gave it a chance despite the poor reviews. It’s well researched and engaging.

Thank you for this coverage on the Lori Vallow trial. It is so so well done, you guys went to a lot of trouble with the editing and the podcast is brilliant. Thank you

I am a huge fan of this show and I am glad to hear Idaho has been on this podcast. I am from the great state of Idaho and it’s been really exciting to hear us mention. I think Lori Vallow is guilty as sin for killing her kids and her current husband’s first wife!!!!!!

What is up with this podcast? Used to be quality audio/narration and writing. This is like some local, bad broadcast. Is this the audio fr the TV show? I’ve not watched in awhile but if this was on TV it won’t be for long bc the production sounds like it was done in some interns NYC appt. I...Read full review »

The stories are so bad, almost a sleep, I would wake up to chance to another show. Some of the announcers try to present the other side as being able to walk on water.

It drives me crazy when the narrator (journalists) can’t say the “t” in a word. Like fentanyl is pronounced with a D. Witness doesn’t have a T at all.
Uki2484 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/27/23
Commercials every two minutes? This is practically unlistenable.
wr18r02 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23
Moderately entertaining and high budget but as with most Liberal media they now stretch the truth and present one-sided views on stories that push social Justice. As a POC myself I’d still prefer to hear a balanced view. Note also that Erin Moriaty’s shows are the bottom of the barrel due to...Read full review »

Been listening to this podcast for a while, but recently I have noticed some failings in the writing. The episode about the two girls who are left at the hospitals after a night of partying including illegal drugs. In the episode the narration says “like all twenty somethings they went to parties...Read full review »

Pretty good except for the many, many repeats. They try to sneak them in by changing the episode titles, but by mid-intro you realize it’s one you’ve already heard and then skipped the repeats of 3 times before. That said, I have to give some credit to the hosts. They all do a pretty good job of...Read full review »

Ok
Ok but please get to the old shows "my life of crime" has it own space. I don't understand why you are mixing them together at 48 hours?Read full review »

Love the show. Can’t stand the voice. The elongating of words makes me hit pause. Just tell the story without the annoying drama!
Winstogram401 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/23
As a fan and binge listener of dateline I was looking for an alternative show; yes - 48 hours does cover similar/identical cases at times, but I don’t mind that. Agree with previous comments that ads can be excessive in volume or very repetitive, but what bothers me the most is that identical...Read full review »

Love Andrea Moriarty - she’s a great interviewer and has a pleasant speaking voice.
seckieboo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/23
I can no longer listen to episodes with Erin Moriarty. Her voice is so bad. I’m sorry. She can’t help it but it’s unlistenable. Also, good lord at the closing credits. Just stop already. They take FOREVER. I can’t turn off the episode fast enough.
Sunshine Moonshine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/23
I was happy to find a podcast with episodes going back to 2016 because I go through podcasts so fast but all you guys do is repeat episodes. There are no new ones every year. Getting really tired of getting ready to start a podcast episode and it’s one I heard two weeks ago from the year prior....Read full review »

How many people have complained about the deafening ad volume but yet no one at 48 hours reads these reviews apparently. I can’t listen because of this and apparently I’m not the only one. I complained 2 years ago and it’s still not fixed. Or they do it on purpose and don’t care.
21MadCat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/23
It’s pronounced Murdock. Every interviewee pronounces it that way. Not Murdaw. If you can’t get that right….
Beatleman24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/23
Great show. Good stories. Some repetition in stories. Prefer the full length stories over the short bonuses. Advertising between can be quite annoying with how loud and voices. Overall, good show.
Jacoba23 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/09/23
Good stories and they are well told (if not a little rehashed from other news outlets). My problem is the overly loud background music throughout the telling. Sometimes its so loud, the interview are unintelligible. Please turn it down Soundman!
bigmamacow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/23
Good content but this host’s voice is so unfortunate :( Not her fault! She’s great, but not suited for podcasts…
☯️⚡️💥 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
Couldn’t enjoy the podcast due to the blaringly loud ads, same ad playing about every 5-7 minutes.
flavoter via Apple Podcasts · Hong Kong · 02/22/23
Ads are SO LOUD compared to the narration 😣as well as there being far to many ads. It’s terrible and extremely jarring to the ears 😰; especially because most people are listening at night. PLEASE, if you have so many ads, then at LEAST make them the same volume as the podcast is. I can no longer...Read full review »
Rougetète via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 02/19/23
Most of the episodes are repeated not just 2 times but 3 times. So annoying
Roguewave061795 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
I won’t listen to anything with background music trying to out-volume the dialog. It’s just plain irritating and it interferes with thinking about what I’m listening (trying to) to, and the tone of it is trying to direct my emotions and thought directions. Can’t we just have clean sound?
Janniesept27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
What is it with the new flapping sounds in the background? This podcast has always been hard to listen to with the terrible sounds but It’s like you’re trying to annoy us by adding even more screechy sounds, when all we want to do is listen to the podcast. Seriously.
Mornin626 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Erin’s voice, at one point tolerable, has become so annoying that I just can’t bear to listen anymore.
Spaulding67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/23
As a criminal, I don't find Erin's portrayal of many of the killers of their spouses fair or objective. Many of these "victims" are possessed by a Donald TrumpRead full review »
nixfinity via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
Great stories, but these episodes haven’t been adapted at all from the original tv/visual medium to a podcast medium, which makes them frustrating to listen to. Also, the hosts (mainly Erin) seem ask the most banal questions during interviews. When speaking to someone whose family member was...Read full review »

Erin Moriarity is the best, true crime host! Love her voice!
Mary in Cedar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/23
I have to skip every episode that Erin is the narrator.

I can’t understand why podcasts have such loud music in the back back round.
moriarty500 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/03/23
Shame on you, CBS. This show has inexcusably bad audio. Worse than terrible. Obviously, no one QC’s these before they’re posted. I’d like to enjoy the story, but the background music is often louder than the people speaking. Or the volumes of different people speaking vary wildly. This is too...Read full review »

Why are we being spoon-fed “My Life of Crime”? Isn’t that a separate podcast?? Please stop cluttering up this one with extra episodes.
Kansas_gal2022 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
Terrible music …loud and jarring …I gather you don’t bother Read the Reviews ……& Erin needs to go ….grating voice …
kikidreamer via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/28/23
Great stories, as usual with 48 hours. But DA*M those sound effects, music accents and commercial ads…. TOO DANG LOUD. PLEASE TURN IT DOWN. And all them (loud) background music is really unnecessary. Very annoying and distracting. I actually don’t listen to the 48 hrs unless I’m all out of new...Read full review »
Kayspurlo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/23
The audio overall is low compared to ads or other podcasts, but what is really annoying is how low the sound bites are compared to the background music. You can barely hear what someone is saying when there is music in the background. The mix is awful or they are outputting the file wrong.
SuzerAnner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/23
I am tired of the extreme loud commercials. The play 3x louder then te program itself. Tried to binge the shows one day but ended up getting a migraine from all the blasting commercials. I like the stories but the obnoxious commercial situation needs to seriously be changed!!
llplug via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 01/25/23
I like the podcast as I liked the tv series, sorry I agree about Erins voice, voiceover adds are even louder. I fast forward. She can’t help but her voice is annoying at times so it would be good to get a break at breaks)My voice isn’t great either BTW so I do feel for her. But maybe Agentle...Read full review »

The intro music is a crime in its own right
helen82white via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/20/23
The stories are interesting, but is the screeching violin-sounding introduction really necessary? It doesn’t add anything of substance to the podcast, just causes earaches and headaches.
My Eloise via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/18/23
The volume difference between the ads and the story made me unfollow. Ouch
