“This is one of my most-listened-to podcasts. It’s one that I keep an eye on for new episodes to drop. I love the very different personalities, the very different expertises, and the fun banter.
Now that you’ve hit 100 episodes (congrats!), it would be fun to hear an episode with the roles...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy this podcast and the in depth research for each case and the relative obscurity of most of the cases. The interaction between Kate and Paul adds a lot to each story and Paul’s experience and expertise enhance the stories. Thanks Kate and Paul for giving us a fantastic listen each...”Read full review »

“Real shame that the mono sounding adverts take away the thrust of the story and completely breaks up the flow of the conversation. Was never as good as The Murder Squad but was good in its prime. Losing that charm by each episode”

“…..far too much chatter and too many ads for my taste. 14 minutes last week before the story even began! Love Kate’s voice, Paul speaks repetitively and enunciates oddly. Quality has declined over the past year, rather boring now.”

“I used to like the podcast but recently, the episodes seem to be artificially stretched out, resulting in effectively hardly any content for 45 minutes and unnecessary two-parters.
Perhaps it’s the other way around: They want two-parters to begin with and then unnecessarily put lots of words...”Read full review »

“Love Kate and Paul as a team but gotta say I was surprised in this weeks episode that Paul hadn’t really heard of the Pinkertons and I’ll think I’ll make a drinking game out of every time Kate relates a case back to her book. Great work guys I look forward to this show every week.”

“I think Arthur’s wife contacted Ed playing it off like she was angry about the affair between Arthur and Alice and made Ed think she wanted to have a rendezvous with Ed to get even but in fact it was a set up. I think the mother in law was aware and staged the scene after Ed was killed. Arthur...”Read full review »

“I love anything Kate Winkler Dawson, but I’ve noticed a big increase in the amount and length of ads. It makes these otherwise excellent podcasts harder to listen to, and less enjoyable.
Despite Karen and Georgia complaining about “capitalism,” they seem to be ok with raking it in!”

“Why? Because I’m pretty sure Paul dislikes Kate in such a beautifully passive aggressive way that I want to be here for the inevitable explosion (with popcorn at hand.)
But for real, the ads. Like, how bad is business for exactly right for there to be THIS many ads?!”

“Never the best podcast and full of inaccuracies but the ads and pointless banter do a great job of frustrating the listener and fill time to hide the fact that the story itself is maybe 20 minutes long. Total cash grab at this point. Paul is too good for this nonsense.”
