“I used to listen and stopped after Frances played down the Jan 6 insurgency, supported Kavanaugh in eight episodes and now they are giving Dershowitz air time?
Used to be victim-friendly, incredibly disappointed.”

“The hosts talk over each other in an effort to outdo the other in expressing outrage.
They are very dramatic and over the top in expressing their anger over crimes. Difficult to listen to.
A calm and factual delivery would be much more effective than all the verbal tearing out of hair.”

“I have a good deal of respect for Jim and his experiences, both as an adult professional and for what he experienced and survived as a child. To have him giving a platform to Dershowitz to have him defend an abusive, narcissistic cult leader is deeply upsetting and feels like a betrayal of much...”Read full review »

“I used to be a die hard fan, but now find myself listening less and less. The hosts are constantly interrupting each other and worse, the guests, and even WORSE, add redundant and irrelevant to their comments so that they wind up using up more air time than their guests. In today’s episode, they...”Read full review »

“What is up with them having Alan Dershowitz on to discuss the Keith Raniere appeal? Frances kept saying she prepared by reading news articles?. Can’t you access the actual record so you are prepared? I am a former child sexual assault victim in a cult. I trusted these two and felt betrayed they...”Read full review »

But I literally roll my eyes and dread what Francey is going to say when she starts talking. She interrupts, is condescending to the guests, and I sick of hearing about her thoughts on the...”Read full review »

“Oh my goodness, why have I only just started listening to this. I’m an avid real crime profile listener and this is just as good if not better. So incredible to hear the inside story, feelings and emotions of the people fighting crime and giving us justice. Just finished episode 32 in tears.”

“Clementi can be interesting at times when in behaviour analysis mode & they’ve had some interesting guests in the past, but Franci Hakes has a political agenda which has little to do with improving how justice is meted out (or not) in the US.
Used to be an interesting format, but there are...”Read full review »

“Episode 346 is a great example. As she’s talking, he makes a comment while she’s talking, and she responds to his comment when we don’t even really hear what he said. It’s maddening. She has a louder, edgier voice, he has a quieter, subdued voice, it all makes for difficult comprehension.”
