This case is a fascinating one and the research done by the team behind the podcast is excellent - and they’ve worked hard to track down interviewees. However, the tone is at times condescending (especially when the hosts discuss the victim’s daughter) and the narrative can sometimes feel *too*...Read full review »

Plays like an over extended episode of Maury Povich. Impoverished and (frankly) stupid people running head-long into our lazy and inept legal system. This isn’t interesting. This isn’t entertaining. This is just sad on a dozen different levels. Pointless waste of time.

This podcast is highlighting a story based on feelings and presenting no evidence. Then attempting to through in another suspect, again with no evidence. There seems to be no thorough investigation just interviews with victims family. You can’t complete an investigative true crime based on...Read full review »

Just say the last names without trying to same them in such an annoying culturally appropriate way really ruins the entire series. Obviously not from TX
TFloyd87 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/22
So many true crime shows seem to gloss over some pieces of a case to, perhaps, create more sympathy for the subject of the podcast. Not here! They tell it all- the good, bad and even incriminating. Being a prior Harris County resident and TDCJ inmate advocate, I remember several of the...Read full review »

Just curious what does Joe Biden being elected have to do with your declining revenue? I find myself so annoyed with that intro statement that I can’t even listen to the podcast.

Literally. I made it through season 1 with some trouble based on the delivery and voices of the hosts. I really like Intercepted (though they do tend to skew toward male-centered points of view) and also listen to a lot of true crime podcasts. I have never been a fan of NPR-style...Read full review »

I have enjoyed your podcasts, but the more you complete, the worse you get at including your own political overtones. It diminishes your story and belittles your work, which is otherwise good. In addition, episode 3, and your dismissive attitude about domestic violence and rape of his young...Read full review »

This is a thoughtful, detailed and (yes) entertaining podcast that shines a light on the sham and shame that is our justice system — where preserving the the process and system is oftentimes more important than justice itself. Keep up the good work, we need more of this
Miguel from Gloucester via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/22
Great podcast. But Linda. The daughter. Her comment toward the beginning of episode 6……. She’s trash.
scrote mcgoat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/22
I’ve listened to all seasons, 1 and 2 are good. EPISODE 3 S2 SHOULD BE REMOVED. Victim shaming a survivor of domestic violence—disgusting. This is all disjointed, the victim himself repeatedly admits the crime…..journalists should do a better job of proving why confession was coerced before...Read full review »
ambskoh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/22
Ugh
I stopped listening during episode three. I cannot keep supporting a podcast that negates a woman’s testimony of abuse as lies because the guy “just slapped her around a little and never used his fists.” What an absolutely disgusting way to treat a victim of domestic violence who had enough...Read full review »

What’s up with all the haters? I thought they did a great job.. Interesting, compelling and a conclusion.. Previous reviewer didn’t have patience, stopped after 3 episodes..Hhmmmm they are introducing characters and setting up story.. Great podcast.
MJ HALESTONES via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/22
I was looking for more balanced journalism. Unsubscribing.
Elnmur via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/22
I anticipate the new episode and intrigued by their dedication to these cases and criminal justice work.
micabular via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/22
I listen to a LOT of true crime podcasts and I thought the first season was fantastic. So, when I saw there was finally a second season, I was thrilled! These ladies know what they’re doing!
ATXchic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/22
Thank you for covering this story. I live in Adel and know several of the people involved in this case. The hosts delivered this story perfectly.
Fury924 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/22
I was hoping for a new investigative journalist listen, but this is just your run of the mill cop-hating podcasters who read from scripts dripping with bias. When will they ever learn that if they want to convince “the other side” of anything, you need to start by at least pretending to be fair...Read full review »

If the tone of a person’s voice affects changes the way you perceive what they are saying, then YOU are the biased one and YOU are hoping the reporter matches how YOU feel!
simnet6 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/22
Before he’s 18, hes already beaten two different girls! & his alibi, HE WAS BEATING ANOTHER WOMEN. Crazy to think he could murder someone. He’s just a single father trying to make it in a racist world….
cole730 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/21
I’ve been here since day one I can remember where I was when I started this podcast. I have always told ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN MURDER OF DONNNA BROWN . THANK U FOR THE UPDATE
shawana77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/21
They get the story across fine and it definitely seems like there is a miscarriage of justice. However the presenters are a little embarrassing sometimes. They drop the f bomb a couple of times. I understand they are trying to get a point across but it falls flat. Also they go to the tried...Read full review »
Jerry Tromble via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/21/21
These podcasters are some of the most biased people I’ve ever heard. They go out of their way to make Abell seem like the most backward place on the planet. It may actually be but the country music and fake Southern accents when they ridicule different people in the story make it hard to listen...Read full review »

The kind of investigation that happened in adel, GA would shock me considering that this said place is in the great US of A, and not in a third world, semi autocratic country or a failed country. How could police, the legal system miss all those evidences and just put someone in jail just like...Read full review »
Narec1. via Apple Podcasts · India · 12/06/20
This is a very compelling case. Overall they do a good job of telling the story. The narrators lose some credibility with what comes across as a snarky attitude in my opinion however.
CC66209 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/20
Podcast they did. I’m not finished with this podcast. But I’m so mad and want t know , what can I do?!
Gayle Kassul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/20
A lot of covert racism that I’m sure the hosts aren’t even aware of, one example is Hercules being described as ‘well spoken’ which is really racially charged because a white kid would never be described that way
Neeeliiief via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/20
The story is compelling, but the delivery falls flat. They present their biases into the story instead of telling it and letting you decide. Do that in an episode, and no problem, but they inject their opinion into every piece. I tried, but I could not finish the series.
Art 34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/20
This podcast is definitely more of a journalistic piece than an investigative piece, so don’t expect them to go around diggin up new evidence. Overall, it’s a compelling story and a nice, quick listen.
esther.k. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/20
This is a wonderful podcast, it’s so brave of these women to tell their stories. They’re so strong- it sets an amazing example for other victims to come forward.
ChitownSarah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/20
Such a biased presentation it distracts from a good story
Dhawww2k via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/20
Thank you to both ladies for doing an excellent job!! This was a great “detective job” on your part, and a compelling story. Keep bringing us great content. Cheers!
Paul Omey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/20
I want true crime vs opinions and emotions. Give us the facts and what you find throughout your “investigation.” Difficult to listen to without getting irritated by the lack of evidence and facts and the smoker’s voice. Too bad I couldn’t finish after the start of Hercules.
sjpaugels via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/20
I admit the hosts have a decided agenda but who can blame them, based on the presentation. I can’t believe, even in rural Georgia, that the likes of Jimmy Hall are still in existence. I believe he and the GBI investigator will reap all they have sowed and am sure their miserable existence in...Read full review »
kbell0502 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/20
One of the hosts has a voice that’s almost too annoying to listen to. They are too repetitive and I don’t care to hear your opinion. Just tell true story. And to that one host with the terrible voice....STOP SMOKING!!!
peyyolivia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/20
This story is well told, but it is an infuriating look into a justice system that could care less about true justice. From the judge to prosecutors to local cops who couldn’t be bothered, man does this make me depressed for our country.
DHP27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/20
It’s difficult to listen to a podcast with such a negative slant, and so much weight given to someone’s feelings. They infer a lack of physical evidence in the car means that the convicted was not guilty.... These hosts should do themselves a favor and present the facts of the case. The facts...Read full review »

On the case were you mentioned Hercules and Rebecca mr. Bennet that is all true. Rebecca was my husbands mother and he had an accomplice. Wesley mason was the other involved with the deaths both are in prison
vvhcarter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/19
This is far from a “True Crime” podcast. I was blinded with the allure of the title “Murderville,” only to be disappointing by listening to a podcast probably produced by a bunch of snowflakes. I’m not saying there are no injustices here, but the podcast is mainly about feelings; interviews about...Read full review »

Worth a listen.
SerTyrion via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/19
God bless you for delving into this case that clearly involves a wrongful conviction. The GBI and that jerk Hill ought to be very ashamed of themselves. They ought to step aside and get jobs in another line of work. What a bunch. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!
Ljk1495 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/19/19
Really good. Definitely worth the listen!
kallismith1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/19
This was very well done/ completely infuriating
Trucrimeallthetyme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/19
Not well written. They repeat the same FEW audio clips in every episode. I suffered through several episodes but couldn’t finish.
Owen1987?$&@" via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/19
Just like the previous reviewer: if it wasn’t for the captivating subject and all the recordings of trials and so forth, I also almost stopped listening because of the narrators way of telling the story. Évery sentence ending in the same tone; I found it véry annoying. Besides that: absolutely...Read full review »
J.C.V. via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 09/04/19
Well done. And although I can imagine which voice some people don’t like, I think she sounds fine. Well spoken and good enunciation, no monotone talking like some podcasts. Decide for yourself. Well done, ladies.
Gary zenker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/19
As soon as the sister of the ex girlfriend said she lied about where the suspect was that night I was out.
SSB 2008 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/19
Story is so interesting but one of the host’s voices isn’t for podcasts. It grates on you. I tried to listen months later but nope still couldn’t listen. Sad because I wanted to hear the rest of the story.
Fiddichlivett via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/19
First, this great coverage of a terribly botched case. It is frightening how hard it is to get an innocent person out of prison. Second, I can’t believe how critical people can be about someone’s voice! Don’t like the content, fine. Don’t like the reporting fine. But to post a review based on...Read full review »
