Good writing but lousy reader/host
I am familiar with some of these cases but there are details that answer questions other podcasts left unanswered. Had to change my 5 star review to 3 because of the strange and annoying reading style that Nina has.Her cadence and frequent mispronunciation takes this down to amateur level.I like the early episodes (although they did cases that have already been done) and the UK version where Ben is narrating.Listen to that instead.There are cases you won’t hear anywhere else. As far as all the problems with pronunciation I have noticed that there are many true crime podcasters who mess up and misuse fairly common words. It is embarrassing and amateur.
