“1. Ads are a part of podcasting, yet it doesn’t mean it has to be tolerated when used overzealously. Most episodes now feature an ad at the beginning and 3 mid-roll ads in a 40 odd minute show. What’s worse is that these mid roll ads often feature awkwardly but in the middle of descriptions of terrible events that happened to real people. It borders on disrespectful when the details of someone’s tragedy is followed swiftly by an ad for yoga pants, or a mobile phone game. This kind of placement makes it seems like profiteering from the misfortune and misery of others.
2. Plagiarism. The past summer there was a large scandal where it was exposed that several episodes where almost entirely plagiarized from other crime podcasts. No credit, and a weak non-apology after it was uncovered.
3. Their lack of research further manifests on the chronic mispronunciation of names. When you intend to be the beneficiaries of human tragedy, at least have the decency to get names of victims correct.
4.These highly scripted episodes are undercut what can only be seen as a strange idea of what actual conversation looks like. Awkward pauses in dialogue from the main host are obvious points where the co-host typically interjects with out of place fluff. This usually takes the form of cringeworthy gasps, inappropriate laughter or their overused catchphrase “full body chills”. It makes it hard to pay attention to very important histories.
There are many podcasts that handle true crime with the dignity it deserves, please seek them out as opposed to further indulging these wanna-be detectives.”
