“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”

“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 »

“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 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.”

“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!””

“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 »

“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 »

“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.

“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 »

“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 »
