This podcast is different than any other true crime pod! The host is so well spoken and I love the personal connection. I’ve been telling all of my friends to listen and I’ll continue to share with everyone I know! Xx

When it comes to podcasts, what separates the good ones from the GREAT ones is storytelling and Madison McGhee was born to tell stories. How many adjectives do you need to press play and spread the word? Riveting, suspenseful, informative, emotional, beautiful. This series has all of that and...Read full review »

Wow
You’ve got to finish your father’s investigation.

Here from the fall line. Loving it

If you make it through this genuinely intriguing story, you’ll have been worn down by nine episodes of repetitive snippets, repetitive conjecture and eye rolling simplicity. The emotionless delivery only adds to the feeling that this is a quick cash grab, as opposed to genuine reporting or...Read full review »

I had to keep checking I wasn’t listening an episode I’d listened to before there were so many repeats of interviews and the author’s own words. I don’t enjoy the author’s delusions about the legacy of crime her father’s enormous family were involved in.

You've got this! No family should have to go through what you have/are to get answers, and hopefully justice. I can't wait to see where Season 3 takes you.Read full review »

Madison, your podcast really resonated with me, especially as someone who lives in Ohio as well. I admire your strength and determination. I hope one day you’re able to find closure and answers. Sending you love and peace. 🤍🫶🏻

This was such a good podcast at first. It really pulled me in and I was so interested. As the episodes continued it became very repetitive and there was no new information shared, I could not tell where or if the story was leading up to anything. Overall you really only need to listen to the...Read full review »

Made it to episode 5 before she accuses all the CURRENT police officers of being racist for a murder that took place 30 years ago.
Laleesha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/24
This is a two or three episode story
vhhhkkkkoii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/24
Madison, I was led here by an interview you had with Payne Lindsay. I hear you and I am with you. I am so sorry for your loss and for the lack of support from your family in solving this case. I’m experiencing a similar situation in my family regarding a newborn being exposed to fentanyl. I...Read full review »

I tend to agree with OkieArkansas with one exception. A lot of material is regurgitated in every episode. My advice is to condense. I stopped listening due to limited new story info in subsequent episodes. I’ll most likely start again in future. Good luck.
Magenta532 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/24
Podcaster makes far too many assumptions and uses woke ideology to make her story fit a false narrative.
scarborm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/24
The first half of this podcast was very compelling but since then I feel like it could all be maybe two episodes. The narrator is repeating and repeating and repeating herself with no additional evidence discussed and it is incredibly annoying and frustrating. The same points are made over and...Read full review »
sesswea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/24
While I understand from a family standpoint where the host is coming from, she doesn’t seem to truly understand our justice system. It’s not up to a potential person of interest to prove they didn’t do it. It’s up to the police to prove a suspect is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt....Read full review »

Good show but honestly the volume is awful. Some parts are so quiet and then after turning it up so loud!!
deedeeg72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/24
I’m new to this specific podcast & host. I became instantly hooked! She has a great voice for the listeners. She tells her story in such a good way for the ppl who don’t know. I love her Titles for each episode & how it connects so well by the end of it. Love her! 10/10 recommend. 💜
OkieArkansas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/24
An incredibly empowered and hardworking victim tells her story. Keep up the great work and the relentless pressure on the police, the county and your family. I hope you solve your father’s ice cold case soon!

Another story of black people dealing drugs and killing each other but still able to blame the mean ol white man

I just finished and I loved it. Binged it in like two days. I listen to a lot of true crime and this was very different. I know you’re not a journalist, but you seem to be a good investigator. I’m sure you’ll continue to get better. I have a lot of respect for you having to go through some hard...Read full review »
AshleyAnnBerry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/24
This show is really good and I think you’re amazing but I’m begging you (Begging. You.) to get someone to even out the sound. When you cut between interviews and you talking, one is easily 100% louder than the other - and it’s not even always the same one! I am driving with my hand literally on...Read full review »
Becka212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/24
This podcast is heartbreaking on so many levels. Madison is NOT a professional podcaster and this is not a podcast made for entertainment purposes. This podcast was made out of necessity to find Madison’s father. Listen with that in mind. It’s such an important story and really intriguing. Can’t...Read full review »
TheBumblingAdoptee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/24
I found this podcast while traveling on vacation. I cannot fathom my father being murdered and then trying to solve it myself. The emotional toll and struggle this must take is beyond my understanding. I am praying for closure for you. Thank you for opening up your life for us to listen to.
CrazyDaisy76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/24
Starts off really good but then there is so much repetition of thoughts, facts and ideas. The whole podcast could have been condensed into 5 or 6 episodes.
AKA_Somebody via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/01/24
15 episodes that repeat 3 or 4 facts over and o er and over and over. Listen to the last episodes if you’re interested enough. Skip the mind boggling numbness of listening to the same five minutes over and over and over… This women is not two things. She is not an investigator and she is not a...Read full review »

Madison, this podcast has me hooked. I am so sorry that you went through this tragedy. Your dad would be so proud of you. You tell this story perfectly. I really hope when this podcast is done you continue to do more cold cases, because you do such a fabulous job. Thanks for sharing your story.
lovetayswift<3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/24
…the repetitiveness; the sllllooooowww, “dramatic” phrasing; the declarations of “tell what you know before I find out for myself!” Find out yourself already. Enough with 18 episode to say, “I don’t know and nobody will tell me.” Moving on to something else.
Debjms via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/24
Little over the top with the racist cop commentary… but overall decently done.
Engman19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/24
EIGHTEEN Episodes on how your dirtbag family is covering up your father’s murder? What are we supposed to do about that?!
Matt Fazo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/24
just got to episode 9 - the end for now - and so happy to see more episodes follow because this story is important and addictive - i am trying not to google the outcome
theoriginalflymighty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/24
This series is very well written and narrated. The story is very compelling and I anxiously await the next episode. I love that Madison is telling the case from her first-hand experience, so it is full of emotion and passion.
Ianblack314 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/24
Meh
It was okay in the beginning, but now it’s just blah. Time to tune out.
Onlyinmydreams via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/24
Interesting story. Could be consolidated into 3 episodes…very repetitive, lots of unnecessary narrative. When you finally realize this, you’re committed though.
purplepotato57 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/22/24
The story is pretty straightforward and could have been told in 6-8 episodes. I’m afraid to say the victim, JC McGhee, the host’s father, doesn’t get much sympathy from me. A father of 6 children with 4 different women, he was also a drug dealer, an addict, a police informant and a brothel owner...Read full review »

Basically, a lot of white girl overdramatising of an otherwise interesting brown girl story. This could have been cut down by two thirds and been much better as a story. I wish the author well.
atomicalex0 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/24
this is so good. Madison is an icon &amp; she’s definitely not right next to me as I write this review . I 🫶 this podcast though
Birdsch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/24
Host has a unique opportunity for a unsolved mystery unfortunately her story is not really that interesting. The podcast is just a really long drawn out repeating story.
Kinda lame via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/24
Interesting storytelling (mostly) and a very tragic situation that I feel so much for the host. So much of this narrative could have been condensed and it felt too meandering in every single episode. Also, I’m struggling with (my perception of) the host’s privilege and what feels like complete...Read full review »
cajunkristen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/24
The subject of this case is a man of the streets with significant ties to drugs, crime, and shady people—in a small town. It’s really not surprising this happened, and it’s definitely not because of racial biases as the host wants you to believe.
alicraw_ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/24
I recently found your podcast and binged it. I also got 3 more people invested. I live in Ohio and never heard of this case. I am so sorry you have experienced a loss such as this. You are doing an excellent job with the podcast to solve it and I look forward to more episodes soon!
Mscobbe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/24
Can’t stop listening to this podcast. Great work!!!! I’m obsessed!!
Katherine Eckrod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
It just draaaaaags on. It’s like when you watch On The Case with Paula Zahn….the same thing is reiterated 50 different ways. It feels like you’re on a tilt a whirl. Podcasters should talk like they would to anyone else. This sllloooowww reaaaaading and explaining things that don’t need to very...Read full review »
MoonPieFangs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
So glad you are looking into this. Unfortunately there are too many cold cases in America, and I love that there are people like you-even if you are directly related- that are at least trying to solve cold cases. Terrible that there is so much racism in the American police force. Would love to...Read full review »
Avid crime listener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
What a horrific experience you’ve went through, I mean that wholeheartedly. Spend more time exploring facts and less time complaining about society because it’s of the times. Yet another podcast that starts off fine and takes an absolute woke turn. Had to turn off.
louisb2287 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/24
This podcast is different because it is told by the daughter of the victim. Her unwavering commitment to solving her dads murder is powerful. Her raw emotions and strength to find the truth make this podcast unforgettable and hard to pause. I am invested and I am hoping she eventually solves this...Read full review »
