“I enjoy your podcasts, in general; however, your interpretations of the potential subjects of trauma are disturbing.
For example, your interpretations of Michael Jackson’s abuse victims lack insight into how trauma victims experience trauma, speak about trauma, and get groomed for trauma.
Also,...”Read full review »

“First:
Though John is an expert, when I listen to his damning analysis of the way people use words in 911 calls and when they are first talking to police, it scares the crap out of me. If someone I love were attacked or killed I would be so distraught I have no idea what I would say. To be...”Read full review »

“Highlights the investigative process, rationally and with science. Deconstructs what people say and write to point out evidence of guilty knowledge.
Very listenable. Enjoying this experienced investigator’s take on crimes.
(Please no background music. I’m surrounded by plenty of noise already.)”

“Pontificate is the right word for this. This guy is so out of touch on his judgement of human behavior and his assumptions of these cases is so off base. Annoying. Yes. Do I want to listen to it? No. I just want to hear the story.”

“Currently listening to the Patty Prewitt episode (#160) and it is so clear that this podcast is copaganda disguised as “unraveling intricacies.”
The host didn’t bother to mention the following facts: the house was broken into while her daughter was home (she hid under the bed) before the murder...”Read full review »

“Host volume is too low, usually way lower than occasional co-hosts or interviewees, while recordings are often 2x louder to the point of clipping.
Extremely uncomfortable to listen, especially with headphones.
Too bad, as the content is great!”

“There’s a difference between reading the story and telling the story with a script. This narrator has a monotonous voice and cadence. There is no differentiation, just sameness. If I didn’t understand English, I would not be able to tell the difference between a murder plot and a walk in the park.”

But heaven forbid a woman should commit a crime. The narrator takes on the pious, scolding patriarchal tone that’s almost...”Read full review »
