“Too many non cold case podcasts. Literally there was an episode about anime? I’m still subscribed hoping it will get better (like it used to be), but if this is how it’s going to be from now on, you’ll be losing a lot of subscribers!”

“Brooke's voice does not suit this podcast. 😩 She sounds too immature and really talks too fast. Muffled at times.
And what is with the ads? For a half hour podcast that is too many. I am in Australia, so they are not even remotely relevant🤓”Read full review »

“She reads her text in bizarre three second bursts with little pauses for no reason, and her writing is at 5th grade level.”

“You can tell she’s just reading and there is no inflection in her voice. Kind of monotone. Do like the stories just not the boring voice. I believe it’s Brooke that is just reading and we don’t need her personal opinions.”

“The hosts’ voices all sound similar but, for some reason, that Brook’s voice grates. Her seemingly self importance, injecting her hopes, fears, and know-it-all “experiences” makes it all the more annoying. Nearly every time I hear “I’m Brook”, I skip.
I think the reason the original was so...”Read full review »

“Love the *actual* Cold Case Files podcasts. Soooo sick of them playing things that aren’t CCF, which I believe is just to keep people listening. Some of us already subscribe to other podcasts (ie I Survived) and don’t need the exact same podcast twice in one week. Stick to what you’re supposed to...”Read full review »

Bill Curtis 11/10 has the best delivery, best voice, and doesn’t give opinionated commentary. The other two hosts aren’t that bad but they talk with no emotion, and way too many...”Read full review »

“The narrator. She’s as dry as toast. She just reads and no personality is present when she does so. I find myself not hearing much of the podcast because her vocal manner bores me so much. Too bad.

Thank goodness that...”Read full review »

You can tell she completed a social work degree, which...”Read full review »

“Her monotone voice is unbearable. And her latest kick of going on and on about mundane facts, such as how one reacts to cocaine (we’re all well aware! 🙄) is obnoxious and I skip over it. Get a new host or only play Bill Curtis.”

Her speech is so clipped!...”Read full review »

“No more I Survived stories. The Cold Case Files are why I started listening to the podcast. I loved the tv show when I was younger and love listening to stories re-told in the pod. I Survived is completely different. Those stories are not the same as CCF. Please stop including them in the podcast.”
