Story is interesting. No appreciation for all the side talk! Give the story and details. No need for podcaters opinion, likes,chit chat, etc. Drags this out at least 2 podcast too long! We ended up skipping through some of it to get the meat

I remember hearing about this case periodically when I was growing and had watched the AMW episode with Frank Bender making the bust of his face-then when he was arrested, seeing it covered again. Glad he ended up in jail.

I enjoyed this podcast. Very well researched and thorough.

I remembered the tv movie with Robert Blake when I read the description of this show. This was well done and filled in some blanks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. It is well done and very interesting.

I was hunting to find something to binge and wow - this is so better than most! Ended up binging in two days.

Hilarious real life trope of a crime podcast. You will love if overly emotional former neighbors and never ending, inane, incredulous rookie crime reporter banter is your thing. In the hands of someone else this could have been fantastic, some stories tell themselves. Laugh out loud bad.

Insane story told so thoroughly and thoughtfully. The ladies did an incredible job with each detail of this heart wrenching story!

If you like Crime Junkies, you will like the presentation style of this podcast and these journalists. To say it could be shorter is a criticism that could be applied to most podcasts. I am a fan of the genre, but do not like teaser statements “we will tell you about this interesting thing...Read full review »

This podcast would have been better if reported by one person and completed in two episodes. Too much chatting to fill the time. Boring
bonzi74 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/23
Really wanted to like this. A story I’ve never heard of and was interested. But SO repetitive. The whole first episode could be condensed into 20 mins. And that’s true for the next two. I couldn’t get through episode three. Nothing specific, nothing super detailed. And the “we had to work so hard...Read full review »

Truly great true crime podcasts are rare, and this is not one of them. At its best when discussing the particulars of the case. Not so much when talking about feelings, real or (more often) imagined. I stopped listening on the middle of episode 9 when, after the break, they were going to...Read full review »

It was a very bing worthy podcast. Kudos to the reporters who I can see put a lot of effort. Shook me up a little bit, however it was a great podcast for true crime people. It was so tragic and the depth went into this horrible, horrible tragedy was insane.
Hartless 773 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/23
Repetitive and literary cliches galore. Seems like the hosts are actors, who don’t know each other, reading a report. The horrific story is presented as a journalist big break rather than experienced writing about a subject. Felt like I was being preached at by the end with rehearsed differing...Read full review »
kgcbng via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
I give the two reporters A for effort but the podcast is lacking in substance. We do not know more about John List at the end…there’s a lot of repetition and the 8 episodes could probably have been done in 4 or 5. It would have helped to hear directly, more often, from the people they...Read full review »

Over repetitive ad nauseam
Telecloud via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 11/29/23
I enjoyed this podcast once it really got started and I got used to the presentation style. I enjoy this sort of podcast style with interviews and field work and the narration with a hint of humor. I had never heard of this case before so it was intriguing and I appreciate the amount research and...Read full review »

One of the most informative and well researched podcast that I’ve heard. Excellent listen.
NJ Giantfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
I’ve always been fascinated by this case, and the two reporters behind this podcast worked hard and did their due diligence. That being said, as a journalist, the case itself isn’t enough to carry the podcast. The two reporters provide us the details in a way that causes this story, in the...Read full review »

I didn’t know the story and I found it so interesting and binge worthy
Brig Au via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/20/23
Although I’ve listened to other true crime podcasts about John List, this one taught me so much about this horrific crime. Listening to the interviews of people who knew the List kids, were particularly heartbreaking. Kudos to Rebecca and Jessica for their outstanding work on this series.
oozie anne via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/04/23
im somehow several episodes in and yet have gone nowhere…just talk normally and cut to the chase. and u don’t need guitar chords strumming while u say someone killed their bride - it’s whack
arual99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/23
This is a a fascinating case, truly, and could have been explored deeply and thoughtfully. But instead what you get here is amateurish and often quite insensitive. The tone is ALL off. This isn’t gossip. I’m truly shocked these women are experienced “journalists”. Also, I’m begging you and...Read full review »
alexakristine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/23
Exceptionally well-researched and cleanly arranged. The women behind this podcast are relaxed and relatable which helps since the subject matter is so heavy. I can only imagine how this story must have infiltrated their minds since I can’t stop thinking about it after listening over a few hours.
BethListens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/23
This is an exceptional podcast. I thought I knew everything about this case, so I almost didn’t listen. I am so glad I did. I think this is the case that sparked my interest in true crime before I was even a teenager. It has always fascinated me and I truly did think I knew all there was to know...Read full review »
YouAreEnough13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
I recommend this podcast just fast forward the hosts’ commentary, it eats up much time.
Bdr77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/23
Wow
I’ve always been fascinated by the John List murders and have watched/listened/read anything I could on it but this podcast is amazing in the fact that it covers things I’ve never heard!! Plus getting to hear from the victims’ loved ones really makes an impact. I absolutely loved this podcast!!!
Babybluestx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/23
I love a good true crime podcast. Usually I only find good 30 min to an hour long episodes. This was a good binge podcast. Something I could enjoy over a couple of days. Very well presented with great interviews and descriptions. Really enjoyed and recommended for anyone who loves a bit of true...Read full review »

Anyone from NJ should take a listen to these podcasts! So many impactful interviews and so much information!
jrehus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/23
Great, in-depth research. Both women speak well and are thoughtful. Some lovely insights into their process and a nice unpacking of a notorious case. Thank you. I enjoyed it a lot.
Ang6767 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/19/23
I only made it a few episodes in. While the story itself fascinates me, I couldn’t keep listening to the hosts. I just didn’t like the commentary from them and how gimmicky they both sounded.
Ms_Mustang via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
First, Thank you for all the bonus content! Second, I was listening to the part about the father/son moment of planting a tree a month before the murders and my first thought is that the small dog went missing about a month before the murders, right? A tree would be the perfect cover up for a...Read full review »

A wonderfully presented true crime podcast. I love all the little details included in this case. I have heard of this event before, but this pod cast opened my mind to so much more info and details. This podcast was thourally researched and when compassion was needed for the new (former) wife, it...Read full review »

The hosts are very friendly and they give a great and informative podcast!
Zelda queen of the world via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/23
I don’t do true crimes podcasts. I was looking for a podcast to half-listen to while at work. I was hooked by the title of the podcast and gave it a try. Within 5 mins of the 1st episode I was HOOKED!
Daphdaniel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/23
Great content- can’t sit through the hosts voice and way that she speaks. Didn’t and couldn’t last through the first 5 minutes. Just not appealing so sorry to say that!
cali4back2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
Loved the story itself. The podcasts narrative structure was really irritating. They don’t give a step by step timeline of the murder until episode 3. It was annoying to listen to 2 whole episodes waiting to get the info. The banter is SO ANNOYING. “Gosh Rebecca, can you even imagine?” “I know...Read full review »
Francishagen via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/26/23
I listen to a TON of true crime and this is one of the best I’ve heard. These two handle a sensitive subject with grace and sympathy. Carefully treading the line of murder as entertainment - and telling the sad story of what happened. Loved it. Highly recommend
AlysiaAmb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
After one episode I am hooked! It’s done very well and I’m looking forward to getting deeper into this heartbreaking story💔
songbird mama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/23
Jess and Rebecca do an amazing job telling this famous story and adding color and context with thorough reporting. Excellent job in reminding us that this case isn’t so far removed from recent memory and incorporating so many first hand accounts about the relationships and lives that were once...Read full review »
Great storytelling/reporting! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/23
Thought I knew the full story and almost did not listen to this podcast but so glad I did. There was so much more to this story of this depraved man. Great entertaining listen.
Steve94040 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
I really enjoyed this production. Even thought I have lived in NJ for over 25 years I was not at all familiar with the List family killings. The hosts do an excellent job of sharing the ins and outs of making this podcast — I particularly enjoyed they way they shared the mundane elements such as...Read full review »
Bunky70 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/23
For once, a podcast so thoroughly researched and told with such heart, using the tenets of God journalism, I am truly impressed. So often podcasters do little research, merely regurgitating what they’ve seen on tv or read in books. This podcast is a fully realized documentary, only not on film....Read full review »

I really enjoyed the entire podcast. The hosts have a great synergy. I was originally curious because of the Watcher Show, but found this story to be much more interesting and fascinating than portrayed in the show. I’ve told multiple people to listen to it. Thank you!

Repetitive story doesn’t move along properly and is disjointed.
uesiyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/22
obviously this is a huge and interesting case - deserves a lot of good reporting - I appreciate the efforts by the 2 reporters, but, it's disorganized, a lot of filler comments, teasers, repetition, and covert attempt to dramatize the podcast. good try, but need a higher level of...Read full review »
