Good but 3 minor problems
I like the show and the format even if I disagree with Robin’s opinions on cases sometimes. I’m a long time listener and will continue to listen for as long as Robin produces episodes. The first thing that irks about the podcast is when he covers extremely old cases that have absolutely no chance of being solved whatsoever. All the information is always terribly reported because of the shoddy police work and poor journalism at the time and rest of it is based on hearsay. It just doesn’t make for a good podcast episode. Also, I don’t really see the point in covering cases that can’t ever be solved because isn’t the point of the podcast to highlight lesser known unsolved cold cases in hopes that the right person could be listening? These extremely old cases also are no where near as memorable as a episodes about cases within the last 40-50 years. I know Robin finds enjoyment in these cases but I just thought I’d put my two cents in as a listener. The other thing I think Robin needs to work on is that he seems to stereotype the American south a lot as if it’s still the 1960’s down there even if the case’s time period is far removed from segregation. I’m guessing this is because he’s Canadian and hasn’t spent any or a lot of time down there. It’s just something to think about. EDIT- DUDE JUST BECAUSE A VICTIM IS BLACK OR GAY DOES NOT MEAN IT’S POTENTIALLY A HATE CRIME.

One of the very few podcasts run by a male that handles cases involving misogyny without coming off as creepy & dehumanizing of women. THANK YOU. I like the host's voice and the music and choosing of stories I haven't heard of before. So happy you moved to weekly rather than biweekly....Read full review »

Each case is first presented, then an rational and well thought-out analysis/hypothesis is provided by the host. The format (20 to 40 minutes) makes it perfect to learn about new cases without delving insanely deeply into them. Also, it allows the host to cover less-known case for which there...Read full review »

Very good true crime podcast. Well-documented, to the point, good creepy music. Interesting choice of cases.
