“The first 3 seasons of true crime were riveting. I’m not sure why or how this podcast switched over to audiobooks. I’m still following with the hopes that it returns to the original format but I don’t listen to the fiction.”

“I thought this was a really good podcast until I tried listening to seasons 4 and 5 only to find nothing there … and season 6 is “story time”? It’s just a reading of a book? I can get that on Audible.
Jumped the shark big time. Very disappointing for what started out as a solid podcast.”

“I listened to season 3 and liked it. Decided to go back to season one and after half of the first episode I wondered why I had never heard of this murder. BECAUSE IT WAS FICTION!! How can you say you are a true crime podcast if it’s not true crime?”

“I love your stories, I just don’t understand why foul language needs to be used to tell a story. I had to stop listening to Jar of Hearts because of the unnecessary language.”

I know you have to monetarily support yourself, but more minutes per episode spent on ads then content is a horrible way to run a podcast. At least group them...”Read full review »

“The story could be really interesting but it’s just not very well written or narrated. *Really* needs an editor for clarity. Too many narrators. Too many unnecessary transitions. Too many vague pronoun references like “it” or “him.” Dropped quotes. Uneven.”

“It’s nice to listen to cases where justice was done. The story is l, of course, heartbreaking and it’s well told, mostly. The narration is problematic in that you rarely know who is speaking. The eyewitnesses are mainly women and they all sound similar. The host does not consistently (in fact....”Read full review »

“One of my all time fave true crime podcasts. Gets to the point while still telling the story that needs to be told. These stories are about the people in the stories, not a self indulgent host, like other TC podcasts. Real compassion.”

And the intro about catching the criminals leave no room for suspense. It’s like walking into a movie and them telling you the...”Read full review »

They always catch the bad guy but who it is and how they figure it out is what really makes the...”Read full review »

“There is no reason to have the seasons be 9 episodes with only 10-15 minutes of content each. This isn’t a comedy podcast with interjections of opinion so it’s not even entertaining banter that is filling the time. I like this podcast a lot but the episodes ABSOLUTELY have to be longer. There’s...”Read full review »

“To echo what many others on here are saying, each episode only has about 10 minutes of actual content once you get through the intro / recap, ads and then outro at the end. While the stories are interesting, it is weak compared to other true crime podcasts as it’s really only the hosts reading...”Read full review »

“The episodes end just as they are getting into the good information. It’s so annoying that I just googled the story and found out about it that way. Also, the female host had an extremely annoying voice and she doesn’t read the script as well as he does. Go back to one host. I am unsubscribing.”
