Horribly researched, badly edited and low effort
I was suggested this show, I do love first person true crime stories. I appreciate that they let these survivors sit and tell their stories. I’m sure that it gives these individuals who have been stalked a way to find their own voice. What I do not like is that they clearly put in zero effort into vetting these people and their stories. Episode 204, the man “claims” he was an Olympic contender and was a big shot on his college swimming team, this notoriety was integral to his story. With an easy google search you can see that none of his sporting history was true. That down to his acting credits were fake. The only reason why I found this out was because this man’s story seemed so outrageous and with my limited knowledge of collegiate sports and acting credits I figured it out. So now I question why a podcast with sponsors and a large platform didn’t take the 5 min to do the due diligence. You can hear what little effort there is in the production of this podcast. Sometimes the audio quality is so bad it’s unenjoyable to listen to the episode. Sometimes background noise, static and food noises directly into the mic make it hard to hear. The hosts do not seem to host/interview their guests well at all. Some guests are great story tellers others need more direction and just ramble. It’s unfortunate because you want to hear their story, they just need direction. This could be a really great podcast if there was more effort put into it than sitting down in front of a mic and pressing record.

This podcast has great potential but the hosts need to tighten up the format and act a little more professional. I understand they are probably trying to put the guest at ease through a conversational tone but the subject matter is very serious and I wish that showed through their demeanor.

New twist on crime podcasts are always welcomed and exciting! So far there are two (as of this writing) out and I eagerly subscribed (without hearing first!) and downloaded them both. My first pause was Jaimie Beebe’s voice. Ack! Like nails on a chalkboard. Remember that saying “a face for...Read full review »
