“Will definitely adjust my review if and when… It takes exactly 0 talent to read a transcript. It is so boring to listen to someone drone on like reading me a shopping list. It’s too robotic. Tell me about these cases. Conversationally. Don’t read them to me. That aside, the host doesn’t cuss, is...”Read full review »

“I love the way Courtney tells each case clear and concise which is what I look for I cannot listen to podcast where people ramble I need an agenda lol! I will say the ad placement is HORRIBLE the show starts with about 1-3 min ads then the show disclaimer comes and an explanation of the case...”Read full review »

“I’m referring to the pieces on Lady of the Dunes. Almost everyone in the United States knows there’s no Whitney Bulgur. Isn’t Bulgur some kind of wheat. You mentioned that the punk Whitey Bulger was looked at for possibly murdering the then unidentified woman. But you called him Whitney Bulgur....”Read full review »

“Excellent presentation of facts. No glamourization of crimes, respect for victims. A focus on foresnics and states clearly if she knows or doesn't know. Plus - her patreon is good and recommended, more output than any podcast I know (included my own). Her voice is fine, pronunciations are...”Read full review »

“Shows contain a lot of interesting information and I typically enjoy listening. Host has a few speech impediments that can be a bit grating, because when someone’s voice is all you have, it’s easy to focus on imperfections. She can say “crime SCENE” correctly. Not sure why “teen” comes out...”Read full review »

“I have been a huge fan of the forensics side of true crime ever since CSI first premiered. And while I know not everything happens in real life as it does in that and other crime shows, it’s still a big thrill to me so watch the science of it all. While listening to podcasts is a newer thing to...”Read full review »

“The host talks incredibly slow with long pauses, monotonously constantly repeating what was already said. It feels like she’s reading to children. I was yelling- you already said that! It would do well to have someone listen and edit before you post.”

“I am astounded that this podcast can be so lazy. The narrator accounts for most of this show’s problems, as she frequently stumbles over her own words.
