Baffling concept

“The idea of using allegedly self inflicted insomnia as a through line or occasional juxtaposition is in parts cringeworthy and distracting. Going from young gay men getting strangled to death to the dark secret of your inability to sleep supposedly brought on by your “research” into violent crimes is a touch embarrassing. Millions of people suffer from insomnia and are interested in true crime, so I’m not sure what’s unique or deserving of a gravely voiced overarching narrative. I assume there’s more to be revealed about the hosts story, otherwise it’s spectacularly misjudged. I sympathise with not being able to get to sleep, but it just seems so awkwardly irrelevant to the deaths he’s talking about. The cases are interesting and aside from the boring and inappropriate pit stops into the hosts problems are well presented if occasionally feeling a little Wikipedia researched. If you enjoy true crime, give it a spin as parts of its content are solid. But it wasn’t for me.”

“No one cares about your insomnia! Honestly, it sounds manufactured just to get people to “relate”. Also, this was probably one of the worst Herb Baumeister stories I’ve heard. Gave this a fair shot, but after listening to both episodes I doubt I have listen to this again.”

“Would have given this 5 stars but the background music/noise is highly irritating. Perhaps because I’m a musician, but would enjoy this a lot more with no drone noise. It’s just irritating”

“I heard an ad for this podcast on another true crime podcast that I so far love so I decided to give this one a try. I started the first episode and I sort of lost interest throughout it. It’s just not the podcast for me. Thank you!”
