“I was initially excited to hear little reported details and learn more that could open my eyes to other possible narratives but I find it too biased. I like being exposed to different perspectives but I feel like most of what I’ve heard is from one point of view or is solely based on how someone...”Read full review »

“You have seriously got to be kidding me. You really just tried to blame racism on this man killing over 90 women. I couldn’t even finish the episode. My mind was blown at you trying to put that spin on it.. This man is no different from any other deranged murderer. I can’t believe what I just heard.”

“The narration hurts my ears. They are literally fast-ramble-talking without coming up for air and I just couldn’t take anymore and had to stop. Will just look up the stories myself.”

“I listen to several true crime podcast but Truer Crime has quickly become a favorite. I love how she delves into the complexities of the crimes and illustrates how easy it is to judge without really understanding all the facts and the forces at work. Even stories I’ve heard several times have new...”Read full review »

“Wayyyyy too much unnecessary wordiness. Just get to the point. It’s like listening to someone read their essay to the class and they had to hit the minimum amount of words. Beginning of one of the episodes she try’s to get you to picture solitary confinement…takes like 5 mins to get to the point....”Read full review »

“Anyone who uses the phrase ‘pregnant people’ instead of the scientifically accurate phrase ‘pregnant women’ cannot be taken seriously.
Catering to a very small section of humans is foolish.
Accepting the premise of lies in a podcast genre that seeks truth is deeply flawed.
