More ads than podcast

More ads than content. Sad.
makepatsingmore via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/24
I swear this thing is at least half ads. You can barely remember what was happening in the story because of all the ad breaks. The reporting itself does not seem that interesting or groundbreaking either.

Does not go “deep” in any sense of the term. Omits great scads of widely reported, interesting, contextualizing, and entertainingly salacious background. Unskilled and timid reporting. Loses focus frequently. Much of episode 4 is a recording of the the two principles yakking on the phone with...Read full review »

We tried to listen to the 3rd season and felt it didn’t go anywhere. Turned it off because I was falling asleep. No great details or storyline to keep things moving and the audience interested. Maybe try a test audience next time or focus group to see if you grab listeners. Hope you can learn...Read full review »

i really wanted to listen to this, there was an ad every 3 minutes seemingly. felt like i was only ning to ads.

This is just flat out crappy journalism. I know more about George Santos than you will learn in this podcast. You probably do too. The producers shamelessly ripped off the actual reporters who dug up all the lies and misdeeds of this man and made it 50% less interesting. There’s nothing here...Read full review »

Why did George lie? Affirmation of his self worth? Maintain a level of expectations, as required by our current culture? Think of modern day influencers and smooth talkers. Refusal to accept the evidence (no different than a current politician who refuses to accept evidence from 2020)? No...Read full review »

This well produced pod lacks any real editorial punch. It’s a shame because it’s actually a great story to work with, but it goes nowhere and certainly not worth wasting time on.

This is one podcast I was so looking forward to , such an interesting story, but I can’t get past the first episode , how the presenter (female) speaks is like nails on a chalkboard . I know a lot of people that age group speaks like that, but I just can’t.

Your voice won’t sound any deeper, it’s just annoying to listen to you.
Shoha via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 09/25/24
I really wanted to love this. It was hard to listen to. It’s not the story of who Santos is and how his life/political career/downfall unfolded. It’s more listening to a teenage girl reading a group text thread. I really hope another better podcast does his story. It’s so worth telling.

Learn the difference between loan and lend! You set my teeth on edge.
TildaJean via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/24
The story of Santos is strong and the reporting was good but I wish it had been more in depth. Overall I think they were too soft on Santos. The reporter (Amy) sounded like she thought Santos antics were a lark when it’s anything but funny. Kathy the donor infuriated me. She made excuses for him...Read full review »

Why can’t female reporters realize that their vocal fry is offensive? Good grief.
Janith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/24
At the end I didn’t learn anything new. Instead heard the same thing over and over repeated by different people. Way to stretch a podcast, truly with no added value for the listener.
Fthisnikcnames via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/24
If you like ads, this is the podcast for you! Have fun! 🤩
X13 b45 8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/24
Impressive research and stellar journalism. I don’t know how they find these stories. I am going to be sad when I get through season 5. Good stuff!
deemcc02 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/24
It was a meh for me & too many ads to hang in there.
SMT883 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/24
It’s insane to me that a ~30 minute episode has 9 ads, it is so off-putting and ruins the flow of the show. While the topic is interesting, given that they’re just retelling other people’s research and insight into the topic, throwing in a couple of interviews, it’s a pass for me.
IMHO FR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/24
I like this show. The reporting is solid. Her voice over is very hard to take. Most of the time it sounds like she wants to laugh. It makes it hard to take the information seriously. It’s a very immature way of telling the story.
matty2lines via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/24
Good story telling, but no flow because there are so many ad breaks. skip.
teenuts23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/24
Season 4 is a decent story but the ads are making it unlistenable. The same ads over and over and over. I spend half my time fast forwarding. I understand you need sponsors but what makes you think your audience will be okay with that?
Calipodlistener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/24
Lots of guessing and innuendo. The host doesn’t clarify or go back and state truths when clear lies are spoken by the people being interviewed.
Smollett454 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/24
That very long phone conversation was so hard to understand. The audio was terrible. Didn’t you listen to how this sounded before you included it in the podcast?
by50&;hx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/24
Amy is incredible! So smart and enjoyable to listen to. This is a great season!
BernieSpencer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/24
This is a great pod but the last season doesn’t hit for me. It’s such an interesting story, but the hosts style of talking - like she’s holding in a laugh and having to halt after every word drives me insane! Take a breath, get to the story, and do some editing.
CarlyGard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/24
Seasons 1, 2 and 3 are great. Season 4 is promising but convoluted and ends flat. Season 5 is a dud…
OkieDonkie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/28/24
Could this conversation NOT have waited until both the host and the producer weren’t walking in public? Wait until you are home and hop on a zoom
HardKnockSal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/24
It’s going to take an army of elocution teachers to battle the scourge of “vocal fry”.
Mznoir via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/22/24
Each season is different and enjoyable!
TubelessSchwinn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/24
Absolutely fantastic storytelling. Love the host (Jake) and the incredible research and thought behind the entire project. Really hope that they will be a 5th season with a different story just as compelling as this one.
musiclover89456 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/15/24
How come you don’t do hit pieces on democrats, all you podcasts are the same, why don’t you ever do pieces on how the democrats lie, cheat, and steal, and if that doesn’t work, they outright break the law. Like Biden, how many laws did he break, that if it were Trump, he’d been indicted? You’re...Read full review »

Who cares who George Santos is! Boring!!
Scot2944 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/24
Season 3 - cmon guys. You can do better. This story was the side salad… the main dish was missing entirely but you added some extra garnish here and there as a disguise, put it on a big plate and sent it out of the kitchen anyway. Zzz

Looking forward to future seasons.
Saad Chaudhry 1 via Apple Podcasts · Pakistan · 08/07/24
One of the best podcasts around, every season is incredible! I only wish there were more!
J. A. M. 4 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/01/24
I love this podcast. It’s very well written. My favorite is season 3.
JZE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/24
The speculation on Craig’s racial identity at the end with no evidence is very strange
idontknowY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/24
Great investigative work on a really interesting case. Highly recommended.
p1dg1e via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 07/14/24
Season four could have been done in two episodes. There is not much to the story and cut out the insane amount of advertisements!
MoLyJann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/24
I liked the fact that this podcast is to the point and not just made to hear themselves speak. Some podcasts that are ten plus episodes are often repetitive. This was not.
Cuca Girl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/24
nah
couldnt get past the second episode because of the boring monotony of the narrators
Lollipop783950278mmm via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/05/24
Season 4 summary: two white kids randomly kill a black drug dealer. Not sure how many kids died from the drugs the drug dealer sold. The drug dealers killing becomes the object of justice. Skinhead vs drug dealer. This is how dumb our society has become. All three of them should be dead and no...Read full review »

I LOVE this show but the last season let us down.
Lord Ruphus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/24
Such interesting cases and Jake is very entertaining to listen to…starting season 4 now.
stlouislegrands via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/24
A highly thought provoking podcast. Gave me some insight of how horrible some human beings can be. I am glad that the day finally came to bring some justice, if you can call it that. Great work on bringing such a disgusting hate crime into the public.
theappfairy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/27/24
Listened to season 3. Starts off alluding to murder, then espionage. Then come to find out it’s just a story of some average woman with anxiety. So anti climactic. Sure, produce 1 episode about it, but an entire season???
meganm1990 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/24
In season four, Scott seems to get confused between liking a family that have been victims of a crime and evidence. You make up your own mind, but be prepared. He’s gonna knock you over the head with his beliefs and make anything that opposes it sound doubtful.
