“I was a latecomer to podcasts and only started listening to them in 2020. Gen Why was one of the first I started listening to and I’m still a frequent flyer now.

“Been a long time listener and a very slack reviewer! Well deserving of 5 stars. Always great storytelling, never victim blaming, always respectful, and never glorifies the perpetrators or their crimes. Thanks so much from Australia!”

“The commercial that these guys do for audiobooks is so annoying. He says he’s reading HOLLY by Stephen King and that it’s the third installment of the Mr Mercedes trilogy. WRONG The trilogy is Mr Mercedes, finders keepers, and end of watch. Holly is a stand alone book with the same...”Read full review »

“These guys are great. If you are looking for a top-drawer crime podcast, this is it. Some episodes are “let’s solve the crime” type episodes while others are “let’s explore the ‘why’ of a crime or its aftermath.” Either way, you’ll be hooked!”
