I love this podcast. While some of the subject matter isn’t new, many of them are less known and all of the cases are well detailed. I really like the details into the psychology of the cases. The only thing that I dislike is the Crime Bites segments. Because each case is broken up into two, I like to wait until both are available. Crime Bites is included in between the two parts of each case. I don’t find Crime Bites all that interesting and the narrator has a monotonous voice, so I have to stop the podcast and find the next one, which really interrupts the flow. I’d love to see these go by the wayside.

Not going to Spotify. Your most recent episode was trash. A lot of the episodes aren’t very good. How can you say someone is being gaslit and emotionally abused doesn’t have any reason to kill her partner? I’m not saying it’s ok, but she had a reason.
