Sliding downhill

“UPDATE: The butter has finally slid completely off the toast. The show has tumbled down and down and dowwwwn the gutter and has finally been fired out the spout and onto the ground below. The new host was pretty good, at first. But now, it seems they've completely run out of content and Fs to give and have just COMPLETELY CHANGED THE SHOW. It is no longer Cold Case Files. It is now some dump truck fire called “I Survived.” RIP Cold Case Files. UPDATE: Thank god for the new host and new format. This show was in absolute desperate need of change. I’m happy to have Brooke out of my life for good. Welcome, Paula! UPDATE: Cold Case is just releasing old content and hoping nobody will notice. If they can’t produce new content, they should just call it quits. UPDATE: Down the hill we go! And, down to a Two Star rating, instead of the Three I originally gave. Sad, considering the objective true crime content of this show is actually fantastic. The ad situation is about the same as previously mentioned, except now they’re advertising for a psychic service. Yeah, that’s right, a podcast devoted to true crime and often times, the scientific methods used to solve cold cases is now advertising for a PSYCHIC. The interruptions for Brooke’s various opinions continue. It’s as if she fails to grasp the idea that she’s supposed to be objectively telling a story, as it happened. And the thing is, SOMETIMES her opinions are profound and telling. But also, sometimes it’s more like Brooke is trying to waft her own fart because she thinks she’s mainlining the secret truths of the universe. So, I’m not saying she needs to stop interjecting, but I am saying that she needs to be more careful and reserved when doing so. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I really enjoy the actual content of this podcast. I enjoy the cases that are discussed and for the most part, I enjoy the way they’re presented. I don’t care if it’s Brooke or Bill. That being said, the ADs are KILLING ME lately. There are so so so many of them, before, twice in the middle and after the podcast. And, even more frustrating is that almost all of the ads are (more or less) exclusively for women. Which... idk... makes me feel kind of like I don’t matter, as a male listener? Also, now and then, Brooke interrupts the show to offer some sort of conjecture or opinion on something that someone involved with the case has just said. Often times it’s about her opinion on some backwater detective’s interpretation of a suspects reaction to shock, or something of the sort. This is sometimes okay. But, it’s happening too much lately and I’m beginning to worry that my eyes are going to roll out of my head, if it keeps up. Also, come on... don’t record while you’re sick. lol There’s some content out right now where Brooke clearly has the Flu or something. I hope she’s feeling better, but maybe just take the day off next time.”Read full review »

“I don't understand all the negative comments. I love this show. It's one of my favourite new podcasts. It's well narrated, the stories are compelling and it's satisfying to have the cold case solved at the end.”Read full review »

“I like a true crime story - and I love a good podcast. So the pro is -- the story begins and ends in one 30 min podcast, its compelling. I think I like Brooke's voice - sure she is an amateur but I'm ok with that. I do agree with other reviewers that she inserts her own opinion in too...”Read full review »
