“I love the stories but holy moly is the cohost ever annoying. Interrupts the narrative with his pointless two cents. I fast forward every time he talks.”

“but I will try to be less hateful about it. Mike & the stories are spot on. Matthew, have you listened to yourself? Maybe you don’t have the self awareness, but as I said I agree with others. It’s difficult to listen to, I get embarrassed for you. Humility is an admirable quality. ;-)

“Kenaston in your latest episode is mispronounced. As I have lived in SK for 30 years I must correct. It’s Ken a stun, that’s how it is pronounced. Thank you and good coverage.”

“I had reviewed this podcast well in the past and been a regular listener almost since the start. I find myself shying away these days and for reasons stated in other reviews. The co-host Matthew, while personable and bright just serves as a pointless distraction. I tune in to listen to tales of...”Read full review »

“Used to love the show, used to look forward to the next episode. Scott was getting annoying after a while, Matthew doesn't seem to add much, but my final straw was when they stopped using the term "away game". It was what you called it right from the start, using some Canadian...”Read full review »

“I love how you add your own commentary and phrases when describing certain people, for example “douche bag”, “he’s just a dick”, etc. I laughed out loud today when I heard Matthew say “tits up” as well. Thanks again for an amazing podcast! You guys are great.”

“This isn’t the Mathew show. Please Mike, if you insist on keeping Mathew, keep it to 2 comments, no more than 30 seconds each. With his rambling, he interrupts the good story telling you used to have. We’re already aware that Mathew (thinks he) knows everything, has been everywhere, and has an...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed the show to start but don’t care for the blabbering on of the new cohost. Half the show is just shout outs to supporters and just got skipped anyway. It also just turned into ghost stories that I don’t care for and once I started skipping entire episodes I stopped listening altogether.”

“These two are so uneducated in how an investigation works. The Port Moody podcast was awful and the Wakanayashi also terrible. They really are two schmucks trying to talk about true crime.

“Some of the stories are interesting but the overuse of puns and alliteration are distracting and often a stretch at even being relevant to the story. Reminds me of the writing on some true crime shows from the 90s. There’s much better true crime out there.”
