They took an interesting story and dragged it out across too many episodes, that I ended up skipping most of the episodes and it made no difference. It doesn’t help that the narrator has the most boring, monotone voice I have ever heard.

Did anyone think it might be to-ta-lly inappropriate in a sad, so recent dramatic murder narration? True crime podcasts have to behave better than this or risk turning the listeners off… or have to account to the victims. Their lives are not showbiz.

Previously, I really enjoyed and appreciated the level of in-depth reporting from this team. However, the second season regarding the Idaho case adds nothing to the story. The whole season felt like a desperate effort to fill air time. The most confounding to me was the interview with a pop...Read full review »

Ugh
Latah = Lay-taw, not law-duh. Step one of any reliable journalist is asking how to pronounce the key places and names correctly.

I like this pod and I’m specifically listening to the seasons on the Idaho murders, but my god, the amount of times the host says, “Stephanie and Jeff, again,” is so annoying and unnecessary. Otherwise it’s a compelling and interesting listen.

Has it not crossed anyone’s mind that Bryan Kohberger wanted to take photos of his kills and that is why he had his phone? Or the idea that although he had planned it out that moment or that night was still semi impulsive and he was very passionate and angry in that time and space and not...Read full review »

I listened to this whole thing because information has been sparse elsewhere -- unfortunately what this podcast adds to what you can find reading news articles is (1) conjecture from often-creepy mediahound 'experts', (2) tangents into stuff like the history of American horror movies, and...Read full review »

None of this is worth listening to. It’s the same garbage repeated ad nauseum. The victims aren’t sympathetic in any way, their story no more important than others but here we are…banging on about a case that should long be out of the spotlight. The amount of airtime devoted to pretty and...Read full review »

Just like other reviews here, I really enjoyed this podcast but episode 10 is where it lost me. The guest reporter is terrible. She seems to be fan-girling the case and Moscow almost giddy in sharing details of seeing Kohberger for the first time. And why are we hearing about your airbnb? This...Read full review »

The episodes play the same clips over and over again. If you don’t have new material, why not just condense it all into a few episodes rather than drag it out over seasons?

“It’s funny, you mentioned the handmaid‘s tale.” Sure, we all believe that came up organically…or the law of Occam’s razor suggests you couldn’t wait to mention it and draw analogies from it, like every third wave feminist, and progressive pseudo-intellectual journalist does. You’re so concerned...Read full review »

In my opinion, this podcast started off really well when they were sticking to evidence, facts, investigation, and crime. Season 6 was the start of the regression. I believe episode topics are now being picked just so the host and guests can preach about their politics and social justice issues....Read full review »

I have really enjoyed listening to and learning about this case, Till you decided to go on and on about a church that appears to have nothing to do with the case. It feels like you were looking for something to fill in with between hearings. I’m obviously horrified with the things that were...Read full review »
Mompon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/24
About Moscow have been pretty gross- trying to generate news and content where there isn’t any. Comes across as just trying to capitalize off of tragedy. The guests have not added anything of substance. Better off taking a hiatus until actual movement in the case happens.
AIG248 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/24
I’m really enjoying this show but getting irritated with episode 10. So much better when you don’t try to pass judgement on religion, politics etc. You will insist you’re not judging, but you are. When you’re so sure you have the only correct viewpoint on religion and politics you don’t see your...Read full review »

Piketon was middle of the road re: crime reporting. Vocal fry, pronunciation, annunciation, diction and episode planning all seem to be weak points. Idaho Massacre is literally awful. Just repeating the same suppositions and opinions over and over and over. This is not reporting and it’s really...Read full review »

This is the show I listen to when my other shows don’t have new episodes. It’s been decent until the episodes where they veered away from the subject matter to defame a local Christian church. I wonder if the same negative attention would be given to a fundamentalist mosque? I’m not a religious...Read full review »

Sitting through this vocal fry in exchange zero content … what’s that, your air bnb faced the jail…wow so interesting! Why not just wait to do a show until new information is available.
nothankyiu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/24
I couldn’t finish the episode “Boots on the Ground”! The guest “journalist” seemed giddy when discussing this massacre of the four young students. Her excitement of chasing a victim’s family from the courthouse, eating at the restaurant where one victim worked, to renting an Airbnb that faced the...Read full review »

Hard to take what they are reporting as accurate and objective when they spend episodes trashing people and things they don’t believe in like the Christians in Moscow. Who cares if you didn’t like the church service you’re not a member of.
aep1987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/24
Wildly distracting host with whispery vocal fry and at least 50% is filler. Piketon was was better. Skip this.
k8wma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/24
“Boots on the Ground” did it for me. I thought there would be information about the trial, rather than just a deep-dive by biased “reporters” about religious conservatives in a liberal college town and a church body that has nothing to do with this crime. A lot of our country is religious and...Read full review »
Whitney1286 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/24
Why spend a huge portion of the episode talking about a local church? It has zero to do with the case. Just stick to the case, ladies. No one cares about your social commentary.
horsegirljie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/24
Slow down! Some of the people talk way too fast. Like ease up on the caffeine please. It’s hard to take in when someone is speaking too fast. But not bad. Some mistakes and misinformation that was eventually corrected. Not super noticeable unless you’re listening intently. But slow down.
Orcadiva via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/14/24
I truly want to learn about these cases, and this podcast is one of the more thorough sources of information, but it feels like a lot of things played up for dramatic effect which feels disrespectful to the people involved. Also, WHY IN THE WORLD would you not think twice before hosting a guest...Read full review »

Season 1 was enjoyable but season 2 seems pointless without anything further happening in court yet. I tried but it's boring now. They should have held off until there was more infoRead full review »

I like the cases -especially Piketon - Idaho storyline fell flat for me - but so much of the show is repeating and re-repeating info that has been covered. The show could be half the length.
kpritzl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/24
This season has fallen off quite a bit, but I was still listening hoping it would pick up again. After hearing the guest from the Heritage Foundation, I’m out. Super disappointing. Much better options out there.
mumtopugs7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/24
The cases are interesting and while I appreciate they are following the case in real time - it’s all over the place. Definitely could be organized and made more concise for listeners. Also due to the amount of ads which is outrageous…. I would never recommend to other people.
MirzyHam via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/08/24
This season is full of filler with no substance. And Stephanie seems to like to hear herself talk a lot but doesn’t really contribute anything interesting. I don’t think I’ll keep listening, maybe when the trial actually starts.
JHBphd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/24
I have really been enjoying this podcast until the last episode, “Boots on the Ground”. What in the world? I just can’t believe you are deep diving into a religious organization that has nothing to do with this crime. Let them live their religion in peace and don’t exploit it just because it’s...Read full review »
Mr.And2000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/24
Love your podcast however, PLEASE do not invite this Journalist on your show again. Her sing-song valley girl recount of her time in the town of Moscow and her tone when talking about rural Idaho was telling of her bias, lack of experience, and immaturity.

I liked the Piketon Massacre seasons but I am not crazy about the Idaho Massacre seasons. The Piketon episodes kept me riveted and I could hardly wait to listen to the next episode. Please research the area better if you are not familiar with the location. It could be that I am very familiar with...Read full review »

The opinions coming out of the mouths of these so called trial followers are CLUELESS about how legal decisions are made about change of venue. Justice will occur whether in Moscow or Boise. The facts are the same. Sounds like the so called expert claiming a change of venue is more worried...Read full review »

Loved loved loved the Piketon Massacre but this season has gone downhill. Feels like they’re grasping for content and the choice of “experts” is horrifying. Unsubscribed.
Cay220 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/24
It was a little light on information, and went off on tangents sometimes about other cases. Repetitive and just the most ads I have ever had to deal with. It could have easily been 2-3 episodes
Sure hen soo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/01/24
Of all the resources in the country you ask the heritage foundation to be on the podcast. The heritage foundation is working to end our democracy as I am sure you know which makes this move all the more egregious. Stop trying to normalize and legitimize who and what they are. You’ve lost another...Read full review »

Ignore the fake reviews where snowflakes are butthurt someone disagrees with their politics. Solid podcast
Annieh333 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/24
This season has been super disappointing. It’s just speculation of what might happen with random “experts”, unlike prior seasons where they were telling the story through facts and giving updates.
abby d53 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/24
Boy could this season be any worse??? They came out too early on a case that isn’t moving really yet and they are stuck with recycled generic tropes of crime podcasts- ie nature vs nurture. Season is terrible no new information stuck in the mud. Bad choice team. Unlistenable anymore
Philly Bauer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/24
I know I can pay to go ad-free but GOOD GAWD there are so many ads and it’s unbearable. Just ruins it. Absolutely.
'Allo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/27/24
I really enjoyed this podcast, but the last couple of episodes made me question your integrity. The Heritage Foundation? Immediate unfollow.

The podcast is informative without over stepping the boundaries of this tragic event.
Medialisten via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/26/24
… they dovetail. Not fishtail. The victims deserve better than people promoting books or pimping for the Heritage Foundation. Do better.
EmLeFay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/24
“Guys we’ve completely run out of material for this thing we pretend isn’t ghoulish voyeurism. Should we stop?” “Maybe one more episode?” Hope there’s another massacre for them soon.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who lost all interest after learning they interviewed Cully Stimson from The Heritage Foundation (who is more than happy to introduce himself with that).

I was into this pod until the episode with a lawyer from the Heritage Foundation. Was really hoping it was not the same Heritage Foundatjon that is behind Protect 2025- but alas it is. Unsubscribe and will not be listening. Gross.
