“Love the podcast but wow, Nancy is a SLOW talker. Hard to disregard once you realize just how careful she enunciates e-v-e-r-y word.”

“This is the best true crime podcast I have listened to and I have listened to many. Nancy is a very good story teller/ investigative reporter. Nancy focuses on the victim to be sure we know who they are and how much they meant to their family and friends. Well done.”

“Nancy just finds a way - EVERY EPISODE - to interject herself into the story. The episodes used to be fulsome and well-researched but they are now skimming the surface and very short with little context. Except how Nancy fits in… that, I assure you, is covered… slowly.”

“This podcast is so well written and researched. I can tell Nancy Hixt really cares about the people who are affected by these crimes. The only reason I can’t give five stars is Nancy’s delivery style. She sounds like she’s talking to a three year old. Slow and almost patronizing. It can be quite...”Read full review »

“A good crime podcast, but after a couple of seasons the content becomes thin. The platform still gets used to tell important stories, but occasionally slips into patting the host on the back a little too much. The worst aspect, though, are the ads, they are overly loud, obnoxiously placed, and...”Read full review »

“The new episodes are boring, and lack the depth of the earlier seasons. Maybe you can move into other cases in Alberta/Canada that you didn’t cover, but can still do a podcast of. Kinda like dateline. Used to love listening but not too much anymore.”

“I like this podcast. I don’t like the constant, repetitive, surprisingly stupid choice of ads. Mixing a crime podcast featuring serious conversations about stuff like murders with cheerfully annoying ads for chicken McNuggets doesn’t work. It’s really, really dumb. And no, I won’t ever buy...”Read full review »

“I find myself avoiding this podcast when it would come up, and I’ve decided to finally just unfollow it. Way too much making it about herself.

“Enjoyed some of the early season episodes but I had to stop listening as just feels too tabloidy and overly dramatized for 2023. Nancy is obviously great at what she does but the format of the show is about 20-30 years out of date. True crime story telling has evolved since then.
Agree about...”Read full review »
