So so good

Jenn brings something different to the true crime table. So much research has gone into this. As a frequent true crime listener, when something new comes along, it’s exciting and I want it ALL! One smart cookie!

Awesome!

While I do like Jenn’s voice, the background music is taking away from the podcast. The music is too loud sometimes I can’t hear the words. I also think that Jenn might want to pace herself, it’s a little too fast. But otherwise it’s great. Lots of research went into the story and Jenn executes it really well. I can’t wait for the next episode!
