“I have become Erica Vella’s biggest fan. I love her “What Happened To…?” Podcast. Her journalism/reporting is intelligent and interesting. I hang on every word. The theme of the show speaks for itself. She works on the follow through after a story has lost its lustre. The best parts are when she...”Read full review »

“I appreciate a well produced and informative podcast. With everyone and their brother having the ability to record a podcast, there are too many hosts and guests talking over each other and rambling or repeating themselves. Thank you for an exceptional product! Binge listening and subscribed for...”Read full review »

“I was searching for a podcast to bring forth some new knowledge on the Pulse NightClub shootings, & this pod is everything I was hoping it would be!! I’m super excited to check out all the other episodes & am so glad I found it. I wanted a “dateline”, meets “something was wrong” of sorts....”Read full review »

“I can’t continue to listen to your podcast. When a murderer kills 11 people, injures 16 and gets “ life in prison “ , but could get parole after 25 years , that tells me Canada’s justice system is a JOKE !! I can’t listen to any more stories where a killer doesn’t get the true justice they...”Read full review »

“The format is so dull. Its like a dry news story rather than an engrossing podcast. It’s too bad because the topics are cool. Writers should listen to Criminal or Serial or Ear hustle to get a real taste for podcasting.”

“This is a podcast that brings back stories which used to be upfront but got forgotten as the news move too fast in search of the next event. The updates are so interesting and informative, showing us how little we are told on the regular news. Love it and will keep on following as long as it lasts.”
