This is my first crime watch podcast and I loved it but I saw another review talking about it but sometimes the beat was louder than interviews
That pretty good via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/11/22
I’ve listened to 50-75 different “true crime”podcasts, and this was one of the best. Tragic story Cathy had an incredible mom & family! Inspiring, the youth in the story; intelligent driven, hard-working, loving, loyal and respectful. Tragic, to see it all stolen from them. Very engaging...Read full review »

S2. Why is there no Walnut Street on Google Maps in Placentia CA? There is S & N Walnut Avenue. What’s With That? Example, S1, Ep4, 27-minute mark... the narration is backed by an intense wiry electric guitar and it is ANNOYING. So far, 3 Stars... will see how it goes. The story is...Read full review »

Loved it but only gave 4 stars as the audio was difficult to hear-especially the interviews.

Just finished Season Two. Really weaves a thorough detailed story from initial events, to dogged pursuit of the truth, to final outcome. Leaves no stone unturned. Great facts and interviews.

Season two is great! Very thorough and informative, what a twisted case!
Alba_licious via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/20
Season 2 is exceptionally one of the most compelling podcasts I have heard. I listen to hours of true crime and other podcasts per day and this is truly a very well developed and thoroughly intriguing work done by the journalist. The participation of the family and other characters really tie...Read full review »

Fabulous work in this podcast. In particular the meaningful way the voices of the long suffering family have been shared with all of us. How tragic and triumphant at the same time. Tears and pain so unfair. This podcast really shed the reality of the pain and ongoing anguish suffered by the...Read full review »

Often monotone, drawn out far too much, too much uninteresting and unnecessary information. Needs heavy editing and not to be simply read from a piece of paper. Th story may have been interesting if it was 4-5 episodes, but is too indulgent for something so lacking...

After four years of listening to a vast variety of podcasts, Crime Beat inspired me to write my first review. Not only is the story truly compelling and heart breaking but the investigative reporting and the compassion shown are so unique. My heart broke for Cathy’s family and I applaud their...Read full review »

The journalist needs to be mindful of interrupting people and putting words in their mouths. He did this with the women in Cathy’s family repeatedly. Otherwise a good podcast.

Great interview!! Can’t wait to hear more, thank you for doing this Nancy,
Becool 32435 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/07/20
Great choice in subject matter. Both seasons are great, I can’t wait for each new episode.

I was so interested to hear the story. So glad Sam got arrested and convicted. I can’t find episode 11
Luvfins13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/19
What a fantastic podcast!!!! Both season 1 & 2 are phenomenal! You feel like you’re actually witnessing the crimes as the narrator describes everything in detail, like a good book! I don’t want my daily commute stuck in traffic to end now! Yes, they’re “that good!”
Collateral damage5439 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/19
Love the podcasts. Only complaint that there is too much time between episodes. Can’t wait for next installment! The robbery series was fantastic.

I was a senior in high school when this happened. She was only 2 years older than me. It would be about 9 years later, I worked in a field position for Sav-on. I walked into that same store for a field visit, where she left from that night. Near the break room was her picture and a small...Read full review »

I grew up in Placentia and remember this story. I was only 8 at the time and it’s heart breaking reliving these day. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Such a devastating story.
VanAce84 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/19
Interested to hear the upcoming episodes.
salas2007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/19
Interesting story, compelling. Well researched. The background music is very distracting though
s ravine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/19
In the world of true crime, you get blood and gore. This doesn’t have it. A true heist and crime covered by a report who literally wrote the movie on the case. The story is fascinating, and the teases well for the format. It’s not high production value but it does better than most pods. Don’t...Read full review »

I am very interested in the story but I agree with the other comments noting the music in the background. To me it's very distracting.Read full review »

This is a fascinating story that was told very well! I enjoyed every minute.
Jenbowd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/19
This podcast is my new favourite. Wish it was every week. Great production and many interesting but little covered cases.Highly recommend
Crimebuff32 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/20/19
Love this show! Very interesting and engaging stuff
Abpfinance via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/19
Turn down the music when the narrator is talking. Sometimes I can barely make out what you’re saying. Otherwise, great story!
dale427 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/19
As a Youngstown girl I’m surprised I never heard of this crew. Interesting story but the narrator sounds too much like he’s reading and he injects irrelevant remarks here and there. Still worth listening to.
Wendy LG via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/30/19
The podcast is effectively a commercial for, “Finding Steve McQueen”. However you had me at the heist of Nixon’s ill-gotten gains. I saw the treatment on IMDB for the film. I think it will do very well. Thank you for putting this together. Its difficult to listen to and I think you should...Read full review »

Such great long form reporting about an interesting and pretty unknown story. The idiosyncrasies and details of the setting, time period, the characters are fully developed, and the background music adds to the feel of the story. Narrator has a good grasp of storytelling with a nice tone and...Read full review »

Stay for Watergate, Teamsters, hiding in plain sight, and Catch Me If You Can!

Excellent story, excellent storyteller. Can’t wait to see the movie!
Johnny Chechitelli via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/19
I’m from Youngstown and now live in San Clemente so this story was interesting since I was not aware of this burglary. I was 13 at the time. Too much self promotion by the author/narrator. Didn’t care for his description of Youngstown. Many didn’t turn to crime. Some have been quite...Read full review »

I like this podcast so much that I wish someone would make a podcast about it.
DPtory via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/19
It’s a great story! The audio can be hard to hear though and if you’re from Youngstown there is plenty to roll your eyes at!
MTalty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/19
What a great story with unexpected twists. The narrator has a screenwriter’s wit, which makes this podcast more fun than hard-boiled—but it’s still got that true crime grit. I’m enjoying the hell out of it.
wordsfromjeff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/19
This is a great listen, well told narrative and a really intriguing insight into the world of old school burglary. And..... laugh out loud funny in parts!! I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help but like/admire the b*lls of the burglars! Please give this podcast a listen, you won’t regret it- and...Read full review »

Mesmerizing story telling. Can’t wait to hear the next chapter. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Epic. Can't stop listening.Read full review »
Rivited Driver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/19
This is a great story. The narrator has an engaging speaking style but the music playing while he talks really distracts from enjoying it. There’s drumming, jazz, rock and roll, and suspenseful soundtrack noise. There’s no continuity with the music style. It does not make the story more exciting,...Read full review »

I’m really enjoying listening. I cant wait see what will happen next.

I can’t wait for the next episode to drop! Informative, interesting & pleasing to listen to.

I couldn’t disagree more with the criticism of the moderator. I think he is perfect for this subject, which is fascinating. I gave it 5 stars and am hooked.
TimScia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/19
Very well done podcast! The first episode had me hooked! Can’t wait to hear more!!
Shellbell1223 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/19
So cool to hear this story told by people I know. Definitely a 5/5!!
