“I hate that I have to say this, because Payne does INCREDIBLE work and I've been a fan of all his podcasts since the beginning, but ALL of his recent podcasts have become WAY too repetitive! I think most people look past it due to the great work y'all do, but now we've got entire...”Read full review »

“I appreciate all the hardwork and putting himself out there. I guess I have to write “but” because there was little communications to listeners and dabs why there were such long delays. It appears that the podcast abruptly ended. I do hope everyone is ok.”

“The story-telling and the investigative work is so good. It's captivating. And then there will be 2-3 episodes in a row of straight police interview recordings. It's so boring and repetitive, and surely they could have been clipped for relevance.”Read full review »

“These are extremely interesting cases and Payne is kind and respectful of victims and their families. I am so glad he has decided to open up the topic of missing indigenous people (mostly women) and how unjustly they are being treated by the government and law enforcement. I love how the team is...”Read full review »

“I have been a fan from day one and love Payne’s attention to the family and adding a little bit of drama to the mix (in a positive light). He is relentless in his pursuit of the truth and I appreciate that. Love your crew too!”

“I think it’s fantastic that this story is being covered. I also believe it can be somewhat dangerous journalism. Many episodes of chapter two are spent discrediting or exposing gaps in some folks schedule. These boys lying, while seemingly important, doesn’t mean anything until you can prove what...”Read full review »

“Listening to Season 4 and binged the whole thing. The investigation is keeping me engaged and on the edge of my seat! Can't wait to see where it goes and truly hope that the families find some answers. Sounds like a place I would never want to go to. Bravo guys for all your hard work even...”Read full review »

“Every inane conversation is inter spliced with haunting music, to make it feel like they’re saying something super creepy.
Key points repeated over and over so the story moves forward at a snails pace.

“The previous seasons were really good, but this season is basically long interviews with Payne making some sarcastic comments that don’t really make sense or add anything. It’s also super biased. Just tell the story, don’t add all this weird commentary that’s unnecessary”

“Started with season 4. Doubtful I’ll listen to the rest of the seasons after this one. 17 episode in and we still aren’t done. The topic is great.

“Second half of season 4 just seems like police interviews over and over again and Payne saying ‘it just doesn’t make sense.’ I’m hopeful it will evolve into something fresh and come to some conclusions — and circle back to Florence at some point — but not holding my breath.”
