“I really love this well researched true-crime podcast. Every season is a case and every case is solved at the end of the season. Not a spoiler! They’re upfront about that. It’s sort of their thing. They always catch the bad guy but who it is and how they figure it out is what really makes the podcast. The first two seasons are hosted by solo host Charlie Spicer, but in the third, he brings in his producer, Kristy Westgard, who is a great addition I hope we can expect in future seasons. In all three seasons, they have help narrating from authors who have written the true crime books that inspire the show. I usually don’t like hearing authors break in and tell the case because it sounds so forced but in this show, you can’t even tell the story has switched people. So far the three seasons have on average 10 episodes long with the second season being the longest at 14. Usually about 22 minutes an episode there are quite a few reviews that don’t like the brevity but personally, I don’t see why each part needs to be an hour-long to be good. In fact, I think if it was people would say it repeats information too much and needs to be shorter. This last season the show did something a little out of their norm by posting the first episode on all available platforms and the rest on Stitcher premium. The rest of the episodes were released later in the year on all platforms but I’m hoping this isn’t a publishing schedule we’ll have to get used to. Owltail has the most popular season as being the first but it’s a tie for the first and second for me. They’re both just so good! Music is super subtle but unique. Trigger warnings for murder, abuse, and violence in the various seasons.

“Podcast is done well. I’m extremely annoyed at the fact that they go over kill making Erin look like this innocent sweet girl and her husband out to be some villain. I assume this is done to excuse the FACT that she was a cheater and got herself pregnant by another man. Doesn’t sound like she’s...”Read full review »
