I enjoyed the content but the adverts cut in mid-sentence and ruin the flow. Very poor mixing. Also to advertise ‘simply safe’ in a podcast about a prowler feels very manipulative.

I don’t mind ads usually, but these are placed in the show so awkwardly. They cut off dialogue and when the ad is over, you can tell that you definitely missed something. It’s a little maddening, because I feel this is something that can be easily remedied. Fix it!

The content was good, but after about 3 episodes in I could not get past the “Simply Safe” advertisements..they were constant and very annoying. The lady speaking in the advertisement was like nails on a chalkboard. I had to quit listening.
Annoying voice advertising via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/24
This was done so well. I am from Visalia. I was in high school at Mt Whitney when the Visalia ransacker was breaking into young girls homes . It was very frightening. It is so scary how small the world is and who you may come in contact with at any time. I recommend listening to this podcast if...Read full review »

One of the best podcast I’ve listen to in a while, they really get down to every single little grain when explaining the “Vansalia ransacker, The east area rapist, The Golden State Killer.” They really explain how everything goes on and all the crimes he has committed, and they explain how Bonnie...Read full review »

The only four boxes any true crime needs to tick - Great reporting, excellent editing, quality production, and a scary story. This podcast ticks all boxes.
Domphippsio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/24
I enjoyed listening to the podcast - great delivery and fact-based and no personal opinions by the narrator. The only thing I didn’t really like is the way ads would just randomly and suddenly play mid-sentece. It ruins the train of thought and sometimes the intensity. You’re too engaged in the...Read full review »

This is a very well done podcast and I recommend it frequently to people. My only complaint is the whispering in the final episode. For whatever reason it throws me off and I usually just skip the episode.
Ronster200095 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/24
I am sure this could be a good podcast, but the focus is too much on sound effects and music than on the hosts voice and that’s a real shame. As someone with ADHD I find it deeply annoying not to be able to focus properly on the storytelling because of those (let’s be honest ) tacky sounds and...Read full review »

I’ve listened to virtually every true crime podcast there is and this is top 5 for me.
philipejose via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/23
Definitely the best podcast I’ve ever listened to.
GameCritic100010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/23
I listened then told all my friends to listen. So scary. I wanted all to be aware of what’s out there. She did an amazing job narrating.
Mandyleighrtp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/23
A well crafted podcast that hooks you in. The crimes are disturbing and haunting - I found it a little creepy to listen to, at times. But it does a great job of commentating on broader systemic themes around policing, justice, gender and trauma. I also felt it gave a great voice to the...Read full review »

The way the ads cut in with no bumper is so jarring and frankly rude. You interrupt a rape victims story with an ad.
Lkunjhhc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/23
This show is a 10 star show if I could give it. The level of incompetence by some of the law enforcement agencies & officers that investigated this case 40 years ago is baffling, infuriating and defies logic. If these guys had stopped pandering to politicians and bringing their egos to work...Read full review »
littlemisshorrornerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/23
This podcast is very well done, good narrator, an interesting story, and avoids the unnecessary injections of wokeness that infect too many other podcasts. They also avoid the gratuitous displays of emotion (long clips of people sobbing into the microphone) that many other journalists become...Read full review »

I thought I knew about the Golden State Killer. This Podcast proved I knew very little. Excellent delivery, format, information and background. Deepens appreciation for the dogged ones who refused to give up the hunt and went to lengths seen in fiction to finally find and capture the GSK.
DivaVermina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/22
If you’re a true crime person you think you’ve heard it all about GSK. You haven’t. This podcast is captivating. I found myself listening to episodes a second time before even listening to a subsequent episode. This isn’t a story about him it’s a story about them. A story about his victims and...Read full review »
Miss. Q81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/22
This is indeed a fascinating and well told story. However I’d have liked the telling of the crimes to be swifter because I felt that the last few episodes were more interesting. That is just my opinion though. I must say, I’ve never been so creeped out by a true crime podcast.
gassjack via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/19/22
Truly captivating and keeps you interested
brbrdy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/22
Super interesting!
newsjunqui via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/22
I love true crime, I can even fall asleep to it. Not this podcast. As a woman it brought me right back to remembering the man trying to pry the screen off my window and I can only imagine how he would’ve escalated if it weren’t for modern security systems and cameras. The episodes have me on edge...Read full review »

It’s is absolutely thrilling. The narration of the show is so perfect that you feel the chill in your space. It’s just worth to binge.
Om Preetham via Apple Podcasts · India · 08/13/22
The reporting and writing by Ms. St. John are indeed Pulitzer Prize level journalism. The first few episodes are difficult to hear; they depict the ignorance of our 70’s culture towards rape, the deep flaws of chauvinism and egotism of the police, and especially the stratification of our society...Read full review »

I have followed this case for perhaps five years. This was a very insightful perspective on the case with fascinating information from the victims. Well done.
DrRock62 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/22
I’ve watched all the documentaries on this case, and I find this podcast better. Well done 💯
sueleemar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/22
had to stop in episode 2. really wanted to hear what was said but couldn‘t take the silly music going on and on and on
stefmütz via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 06/14/22
Took place in my home county. So crazy. This podcast is very well done.
Meganm007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/22
A phenomenally well-done podcast. The research, personal stories, and red flags that should have been seen by so many people make this a must listen. St. John brings the listeners on a heartbreaking story of this horrible human being and the triumph of the human spirit and that of a community. I...Read full review »
MLL1977 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/22
I thought this was really well done. Carefully told, just the right amount of detail, thoughtfully laid out. My one suggestion is to adjust ratio of narration to interview. For me, the storytelling relies too much on interview and the poor sound quality of those parts really reduces quality of...Read full review »

I binged this podcast! I was so moved by the victims’ stories!
Ida Marie Fogh Larsen via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 04/06/22
I’m a huge fan of everything true crime! This podcast definitely won’t disappoint if you’re a truce crime lover. Very well detailed about the attacks but not dramatically over done. Would have given 5 stars but the last episode isn’t playing! Saying it’s currently unavailable. Talk about a cliff...Read full review »

Thorough and sensitive reporting that always centred the survivors, and not the perpetrator.
Danielleheatherr via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/17/22
One of the best ( if not the best ) true crime podcasts that I have heard in a while. Very few ads & the narration was done excellently Very informative with confirmed details from the actual victims themselves . Highly recommended.
Leshalou via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/15/21
I think I’ve listened to this series half a dozen times now. I just love the way the story is told structurally and often in a very cinematic fashion, but not overly dramatic or exaggerated. It maintains a careful suspense throughout and goes through all of the details chronologically. I wish...Read full review »

I just finished listening to all episodes. I’ve been fascinated by this story since I first became aware of it. I’ve watched documentaries and news specials about the Golden State Killer. I have learned so much new information about this case after listening to this Podcast. Foremost the...Read full review »

There’s so many adds in the middle of the episodes, and at the most inappropriate times! These should be at the beginning or end of the episodes not constantly popping up half way through.
ALJ2710 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/17/21
Loved it, thank you!
Carole Ann Boone via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 10/16/21
Was already familiar with the story, but wow, could NOT QUIT listening. Hands down best podcast.
Pya3g via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/21
This podcast was absolutely amazing! The story was so well told and had so much detail.
Jesskbrock via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/05/21
To say I enjoyed listening to a ‘true crime’ podcast DOES NOT sound right! However, the way it’s been arranged and with suspense and intrigue, I would highly recommend this podcast. I hope they create more series.
Cia8949 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/21/21
I must say, I love true crime shows and this podcast was fantastic. The story itself was horrifying, but intertwining the narration with the interviews with the victims and law enforcement made it so much more engaging. A terrific piece of journalism!
cogreeneyz1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/21
Very thorough, so much respect for the man victims. Very well explained and gives you an upfront view.
