“I’m wondering if the woman’s voice is AI. She pronounces “kohberger” as “kohlberger”. And she can’t pronounce Alantea correctly. It’s distracting”

“Season 2 and 3 are just people talking. The people that did it were caught and 2 even confessed to the murders, so they’re still going on about how it could be the cartels and some other random stuff…? The background music in season 3 is just too much. It’s this weird ethereal overly dramatic...”Read full review »

“I’d give this one five stars if it weren’t for the all-too-frequent advertisement breaks that last at least three minutes— that’s longer than commercial breaks on network television (average is around two to two and a half minutes). She always calls it a “quick” break, but it really isn’t,...”Read full review »

“Would be a good podcast if they didn’t include all the woke nonsense language. He was given a warning from his traffic stops in Indiana because of his privilege? Please. Puke.”

“I live right on the Ohio/Michigan border and couldn’t believe that I had never heard of this case! I was hooked instantly. I’m very picky when it comes to voices/tone of a podcast and the delivery of the story, so the fact I was hooked instantly is a big deal lol. I can honestly say that everyone...”Read full review »

“Buccal. Hyundai. Elantra. Give this lady a word she can pronounce!
All in all this is like true crime for dummies. They repeat the same information over and over again with a grade school teacher-like approach. Definitely the worst podcast I’ve listened to to-date, and I won’t be bothering to...”Read full review »

“It was getting a little too commercial toward the end of season 4. I was expecting season 5 to be about the trial of Billy Wagner. I go to the episodes only to find it’s about a different crime altogether. Nice wrap up of Piketon. If there is a finish to Piketon I sure can’t find it. Sad.”

“At first, I figured the mispronunciation of Elantra bugged me because that’s what I drive. But then it kept going, just like the mispronunciation of Dennis Rader, and the use of “regime” instead of “regimen”. Also, the repetition and excessive ads really got to me. I hope the podcast staff take...”Read full review »

“This podcast was originally The Piketon Massacre but apparently that’s not good enough anymore so it’s been rebranded. It’s disrespectful to the Piketon victims to sweep them under the rug so you can get more listens.”

“The first season was really thorough and the journalists had clearly followed the crime from the beginning. That said, the second season is kind of gross. The reporters seem to be latecomers to the story and are the-reporting known facts. I expected better from them.”
