“I love this podcast - give it a listen! I don’t think you’ll regret it. The hosts are criminologists and their perspectives on cases is fascinating and quite engaging. I love that they tend to cover cases that are less known as well. One reviewer complained about “language” in the podcast;...”Read full review »

“It’s important to understand the experience of people who’ve been in cults and been manipulated. Unfortunately, this podcast generalizes in a way that is offputting. You can tell stories and not interject your own opinion about how bad men are and that the whole society is patriarchal and this is...”Read full review »

“So well reported on and fascinating to hear these stories - gives you a true insight into the minds of these characters, sometimes I wonder how well these people would do if they chose a “legitimate” trade!”

“Obsessed with this show! A wild trip into the underworlds of biker gangs, romance conmen, meth dealers, white supremacists—guided each time by a former practitioner of the dark art. I don’t love MVZ’s (the host’s) voice but the show is so fascinating it doesn’t matter!”

“Very misleading and one-sided. Why is it USA’s fault that Mexico gets their firearms from the US when they leave their boarder WIDE open and absolutely no checkpoints going from the US into Mexico? - But yet their gun crime is our fault?! Wow. - But at least she has some good undercover footage.”
