This entire season could have been reduced to 4 episodes total. Every single episode wastes a ton of time recounting information that had already been covered numerous times. This is a good story that deserves to be told, but they’ve dragged it out so much that I’ve completely lost interest.

Was extremely excited about this podcast, but was sadly let down. Episodes were drawn out, the same info is rehashed over and over again. It is mediocre. I loved the premise, but the execution was definitely lacking.

Cool idea for students, seems like a good podcast after most of ep 1, but I can’t continue to listen to it. The bells ringing to mark transitions are far louder than the rest of the audio. I quickly reach for my volume, but it is too late. It is so annoying that it isn’t worth continuing. I don’t...Read full review »

The early episodes centered on the students and their roles were great. Too much repeated info for a 30 minute podcast. Had to stop listening when they interviewed the victim. They should have allowed her time to prepare instead of catching her off guard. Constant ads for Alto also made it...Read full review »

Started out okay, but ended up being a commercial for the education institute. Not edited or organized very well. This story could’ve been told so much better.

This podcast cast should come with a disclaimer - much too long and repetitive. It circles around and has a hard time getting to the point. And apparently an unpopular opinion, but what are high school kids doing researching a SERIAL KILLER? Really now.

Heard about this podcast on Truth & Justice and I had to binge the season! Great job.
mspattiann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/24
As with others, too many adverts. But also the production is so dodgy. There is so much substantive story here and so many threads left unfurled I guess to make room for more ads. The story has been put together very confusingly, and silly things like the end credit music starting loudly over the...Read full review »

Really liked it in the beginning, but after a few episodes it became a tedious slog and had to give up. These creators apparently don’t have an editor on staff and it shows! You don’t re-air entire conversations, that’s not really storytelling! Such an interesting concept to have students...Read full review »

This podcast is fascinating! It is crazy how this case was worked and solved.
DustinND via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/24
Who’s not interested in True Crime! Who’s not interested in student engagement! This is a clunky advertorial for XQ, a tech entity which is interested in “rethinking” (ie, monetizing) public education. Ultimately, the producers can’t hide that it’s a commercial. Also, the MC/narrator has a...Read full review »

It’s missing something. It’s ok, but not great. Fairly boring tbh. So many podcasts so much better than this.
ccall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/24
This is the worst podcast from a major company I’ve ever heard. It’s a semi-interesting story that could have been entirely told quite well in a half-hour podcast, but nothing in this needed to be more than one episode. It's hugely repetitive. The host adds nothing except tell you what...Read full review »

Alex Campbell deserves an award!!! What a wonderful teacher! He found a way to engage students in ways they will never forget. Thank you to all the students who gave their time. Jeff, you always have the best podcasts to listen to. Congratulations on another amazing podcast!!!
npalmer3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/24
The interviews with the victim were so hard to listen to. I know she can’t help it but she sounded like she was running around while trying to answer Alex’s questions. Would have been way better to interview her in person to insure the best audio quality. Also don’t know why KT studios people are...Read full review »

While I appreciate the survivor story. It was very hard to follow because of how passionate she was to finally talk to someone. This is one of the most important parts to the murders but the way they portrayed it instead of summarizing and putting parts together made me want to skip her whole part.

This is so good idk what these people mean in the rating section lol Good work keep it up
2darkfriendoncodm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/24
Impressed by the students and their deep respect for the humanity of these women (sadly, this seemed to be lacking in their teacher who demonstrated a disconnectedness, disrespect, and salaciousness toward the cases and the women). It was an interesting story about the abilities of young people...Read full review »

Love that the students are being recognized for their hard work Teenagers can do hard things!
wooohoooo50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/24
Same as all the other reviews, I had to stop listening, repeated same sound bites over and over as well! Real shame really because what could have been a good podcast turned into a poor experience for the end consumer!
shuffeljack via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/07/24
The story is worthy of an episodic podcast, but the production/editing are abysmal and make it hard to listen to. Jeff Shane’s delivery is flat and tedious. And the ads are incessant. If I had a do-over I’d skip.
McKBishop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/24
Good concept. Terrible execution. Incredibly boring
She Shine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/24
I have been inspired to keep looking at cold cases, particularly because of these high schoolers and their teacher! Finding answers is possible through small and unusual ways. Keep digging!
chalkiekitty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/24
Such a great story!! I wish we had more teachers this invested in their students. And image telling your kids/grandkids in 20-30 years “I helped catch a serial killer”. AMAZING!!
Akm26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/24
I’m amazed at the quality of the work each student put into this project. I’m so proud of this teacher and wish we had more. The impact of this research, isn’t over, it’s just the beginning. The students should be proud of their progress and continue to share their work. Thank you, for the...Read full review »

This story has much up be said for it, just wish it had been told by someone else. Production quality is poor; minimal amount of content drawn out over way too many episodes, story sequence out of order, etc Inspiring teacher and incredible kids, though.

So impressed, I have really enjoyed this podcast! Well done team! Xx
Baxterwood via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/03/24
Great story - love the creativity in their education, love the students’ determination. You just never know what will capture a kid and put them on their path. This is the kind of opportunity that does it. But the production - whoa nelly. Different speakers have different volumes, ads are crazy...Read full review »

The first few episodes were interesting and enjoyable (except for the poor audio mixing). After the first few episodes the material presented is redundant or unnecessarily drawn out and exaggerated.
yourchefvictor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/24
Great story. Far too many ads, or more accurately the same ads far too many times.

Rowlandsra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/24
Stop assaulting listeners with LOUDER AD BREAKS than the actual podcast audio. Isn’t I heart a huge company with tons of money? I know someone gets paid to balance these levels out, good grief.
PresleyChil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/24
The story is very fascinating, however, it’s very drawn out and includes parts that seem very unnecessary to report on.
crime_junkie16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/24
Excellent podcast. Hearing the survivor was absolutely inspiring and broke my heart that she was treated so disrespectfully by the judge. Would love to give her a hug and tell her how sorry I am for all she went through and how grateful I am for her bravery. Students, educators and podcasters all...Read full review »

Love the story. Love the students, the teacher, love it all EXCEPT the GOTDAMN ads. 34min episode and 14 of those are all the same ads in a loop.
mellamomay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
Love these determination of these high school students and their teacher and so I give them the five stars. However the portions of the episodes with the survivor Linda recounting her attack are very hard to listen to. She’s choppy, scattered and breathless most of the time. I do feel for her as...Read full review »

What an interesting story.. I certainly would have taken a true crime class if it had been available when I was in high school. The amount of information these kids were able to put together on a case so old was amazing and maybe this will open doors on how/who can help with these cold cases. I...Read full review »

An inspiration.
MittenStateMom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
I wanted to like this podcast as I love the others done by KT Studios, but it needs some major editing. The phone interviews drag on and on and the teacher eventually seems more of a host than the actual host. I had to stop listening before the last episode.
hkk*73* via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/24/24
I think all of these episodes could’ve been made into ONE solid episode! The show started well, but I listened to the first 4 episodes only (on 1.5x) and I'm going to stop! because in order for me to catch some little new information, i have to listen to 10 minutes of ads and a bunch of...Read full review »

Hearing the interviews with Ms Linda is so enchanting. Her courage, humility and frankness is almost overwhelming. She’s such a strong soul and she doesn’t seem to realize it herself. Thank you for sharing her (and the other ladies’) stories. They deserve to have a voice!!!

First- the kids. The kids are the stars. They are smart and intuitive and tenacious. The teacher should also be applauded for creating functional learning opportunities and engaging these kids in their community. The (really really)bad - the lazy police work done back in the day. I don’t know...Read full review »

These students should be extremely proud of themselves. Their part in aiding this case deserves all the spotlight. They have truly earned it. They should feel so good about their work. They should appreciate the amazing teacher they have. If not for him, they wouldn’t have been able to do such a...Read full review »

Loved the content, but the production could’ve been better. Please ask your guests to sit down and take a breath, because her call was really hard to listen to. Reminding me of listening to a meth head tell a story.

I’m sure I’m not alone being appalled by the behavior of the grown adults in the TBI who seem to be threatened by these high school kids who are helping to shine a light on cases that they barely touched until the kids brought it to the media’s attention. and then all they did was pat themselves...Read full review »

This podcast is so incredible. I think if we had more projects like this where motivated intelligent people got involved in the world so many problems could be solved and then avoided in the future. Just amazing!
Prozizzle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/24
This was a binge listen and I couldn’t stop. What an incredible educational experience for these students. The dedication by the teacher and the tenacity of the students… so impressive. Such a great experience as a listener! I wish my high school had a Mr. Campbell!!
