“TZ does an excellent job deep-diving into some truly disturbing cases. His presentation and analysis of primary source material is captivating. Since main episodes are presented in single narration format there is no off-topic banter and episodes focus solely on the case.”

“I acknowledge how difficult it is to create podcasts. And while I really enjoy the overall production, it’s frustrating that TFTD takes between 2-3 weeks to release new episodes (at least in the current season investigating Chandler Halderson)… and then doesn’t re-cap the previous episode. The...”Read full review »

“Really interesting cases, extremely well presented and in a strait forward but thoughtful way. My personal issue that is unfortunately really getting in the way of giving this 5 stars is how slow the host speaks. That with music playing at the same time makes it hard to hear what’s being said....”Read full review »

“I usually start (& unsubscribe) from shows so fast in this genre that it needs a new category: True Crum. That’s why I was deeply hesitant to start TFDS even though it’s been in my queue for a while, but, with summer here and content consumed…I held my breath and hit play…
At first, TZ’s...”Read full review »

“The first season was interesting and was about a case I had never heard before but by second season the lecturing and political views started. Disappointing I want to hear facts about true crime not the author’s political opinions. It’s a no for me.”
