“Great stories told well. However, the producer is very annoying. She does not contribute anything of value to the storytelling. She doesn’t say much - but how and what she says is awful. Please just leave her out….”

“Well researched, interesting, in depth, experienced perspective on cases.
If you don’t care for Nancy Grace’s bombastic style, and her rude approach with her guest experts, why listen?
I choose not to.
Why give her free press discussing her over and over on your own show?”

“This podcast, along with Paper Ghosts are my favorites to listen to. I’ve read quite a few of his books and watched his TV shows..he truly cares about the victims and their families. A must listen to for true crimes fans.”

“Like him better on the other show! With her, it’s just too giggly and feels disrespectful! She adds nothing worthwhile and is annoying! And she smacks of disrespect given what is being told here! The cackling is irritating!”

“I love the podcasts Phelps has done. Paper Ghosts is really great. You can tell how passionate he is for bringing justice to families and victims. However, the level of disrespect his producer has towards victims is horrible. She makes jokes at their expense and I can’t imagine how a family...”Read full review »

“But I have one weird thing that has bothered me for years about him! Why does he consistently introduce himself as M. William Phelps, then tell people “call me Matthew.” Why not introduce yourself as Matthew Phelps or even Matthew William Phelps? I know this is petty, but it is a quirk I can’t...”Read full review »

“I loved the earlier stuff, and thought the cross talk with Katherine was fun, but lately, there seems to be a lot of rant instead of story telling. Will continue to listen for a while hoping to get back to the previous journalistic style. Sorry Phelps”

“Have to unfollow since you started bashing LISKs wife. She has cancer, lost her main source of income and health insurance, she and her children are now pariahs, she has to pay her lawyer, and she must provide a lifetime of care for her special needs son. Of course she’s going to take a $1M...”Read full review »

“But there’s a thing known as journalistic integrity. The last episode, the “editorial” throws that right out the window. Until there’s a conviction, publicly taking a stance one way or the other on the person being charged makes you an entertainer, no better than Alex Jones. As for Hauerman’s...”Read full review »

I have to say that I’m not sure I wouldn’t take the payday if put in the same situation as this man’s family. If they are struggling financially and see no other way out, I can’t blame them!”
