“Matt Baglio did a wonderful job in capturing the life and times of a policeman known to locals as G.I. Joe. In the special series follow-up episode, you can sense Baglio’s frustration with the lack of local cooperation among his potential podcast guests. To me, it still shines and is simply...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed this podcast for awhile and it’s well put together but I couldn’t complete listening to season 1 because I’m astounded by the resources spent on investigating the deaths of white men in contrast to when Black men are killed by police and Indigenous women go missing. Wondering if the...”Read full review »

“If Joe had gunpowder on his hand, and his pistol had only been discharged twice, and the two bullets, (found in his body and phone) came from his gun, then he committed suicide. Detectives should have caught onto this immediately.”

“The story is put together okay, and slightly interesting. But stopped listening to the last two episodes. Not because they wanted you to pay, but because the story became annoying. There was just too much focused on how appalled cops and detectives were that someone could even commit a crime....”Read full review »

“I listened to the first few Fox Lake episodes but feel a little tricked that to finish the series I am forced to subscribe. Not happening; this just pisses me off and makes me very reluctant to listen to anything from Wondery.”

“I started with Fox Lake. Although there are a couple of seasons of the anthology series worth listening too, most are an uphill slog through toxic masculinity with male hosts who aren’t willing to fully confront it. There are a plethora of podcasts out there aspiring to tell the stories of...”Read full review »

“I listen to podcasts constantly and, although I had heard of this story before and knew the outcome, this is so well-written and such a good flow. Definitely worth listening. And for those in the Fox Lake PD who allowed GI Joe to run all over people for three decades, shame on you.”

“Season three just proceeds to badmouth the victim. People are probably ok with this only because he was a cop—if this was anyone else it would be swept under the rug. I understand that he had his flaws, but it’s in really poor taste. OH and you can’t finish it without paying. I would just skip...”Read full review »

“The narration is a challenge, to put it mildly. The tone is cartoonish and distracting. At the same time, over-the-top cheesiness might be the best way to present the perpetual bumbling fiascos taking place in Chicagoland. Everything you’ve heard is true.”

“What a bait and blatant money grab this is. As if every episode isn’t stuffed with as many commercials as possible, listen to all of that and then have no option but to pay if you want to finish it. Thanks for wasting my time, I won’t make that mistake again with you Wondery. RUDE.”
