“Love the podcast. Great content, research and some unique stories. I started from the beginning and am working up to present day releases. Whoever got you a sound effects machine for Christmas in ‘21 was playing with you I believe and didn’t think you’d actually use it. It’s like amateur hour...”Read full review »

“I don’t understand how people who claim to do research keep repeating the same nonsense of what happened January 6 . There were no ARMED Trump supporters attacking the capitol. Yes there were some windows busted out but that was encouraged by under cover federal officers and most of the people...”Read full review »

“One of the true crime greats. Been listening since the beginning so I won’t downvote. Great narration and unique cases show detail to research. I unfollowed awhile ago bc it seems like the show was going through something with lots of interviews and reruns. If its an interview show, then do that....”Read full review »

“I really like what you are adding to the podcast world. I am a Californian like you. Most pod creators seem to be from other states and dont cover California crime too much.”

“I just added this podcast to the handful of true crime ones I follow. The host has a fantastic voice and I love her storytelling format. Her background in Psychology adds some much needed educated analysis (vs baseless speculation and tangents) to the true crime canon. We often hear the “WHAT”...”Read full review »

This podcaster has a voice that’s easy to listen to and an appropriately straightforward delivery that...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast and I adore Esther (even if she’s only a voice through my phone). She puts a lot of work & research in for these episodes and it shows. I appreciate her thoroughness, a lot of podcasts only regurgitate easily found news articles. Her background in counseling/psychology is...”Read full review »

“You had asked the question, “was there even Target Stores in 1980?”
Yes, there Target Stores in the ‘80s and even in the ‘70s!
Target was a fabulous store in its early years! Way better than it is today.”

“I’m addicted to the genre, and this show is fast becoming my favorite, right up there with “Case Files” and “Sword & Scale.” As with the other standout podcasts, it’s the quality of the writing that makes for compelling listening. A good tale, well-crafted beats impromptu commentary every...”Read full review »

“I wrote this a while back, but it’s still valid! You’re now talking with someone about an axe murderer; PLEASE STOP bringing people in for “conversations”.

It has reached a point where I no...”Read full review »

Please slow it down and allow your interviewees to finish a thought or sentence. Part of a good interview is leaving space for your subject to fill. Pause and let them...”Read full review »

“Giving five stars because this is still a great podcast. But it’s no longer one I listen to often, because the frequency of ads is unbearable unless I have my phone in hand. Make that bag for sure— she puts in work and does an amazing job, and that should be compensated. Still, there has to be a...”Read full review »

“Like listening to a child read from a book in class, in a monotonous high pitched voice. Sounds fake and rehearsed. Crime podcasts should Not be narrated with a chirpy voice, it devalues the severity of the crime. Take note from Casefile and They Walk Among Us, both superb hosts.”

“I really want to give this podcast 5 stars because I feel like the host is truly genuine but it needs work. First, Esther talks over all her guests. What’s the point of bringing on a special guest if you don’t let them talk? Second, the host is not very good at going ‘off script’. The episodes...”Read full review »
