Eye-opening and Heartbreaking

First episode I listened to (that ended up being my favorite about Katrina Cool Brownlee) got me curious and hooked!

Glad I found this audio on accident ☺️ No regrets! 😃

Audio is Terrible

while the stories are good the audio in the pod cast is terrible. it's so low I can hardly hear it though my car speakers, I changed to ear buds hoping that would help but no go still low. this is with both my device and speakers on maximum volume. I can hear the ads great though.

Poison Pen Letters Remain Unsolvex

I was hanging on every word as this whodunit unfolded, complete with strong vocal performances and that distinctive 48 Hours music. I enjoyed the details of the story, as anonymous letters revealing all the goings-on in Circleville arrived by the hundreds to unsuspecting residents over the course of three decades. Was the wrong person convicted of the murder of the adulterous bus driver? Listen in to form your own opinion.

Far too many commercials

Worst that American idiot finally! 1-2 minutes of commercials every 5 minutes! Great stories but the commercials are far too distracting for a 30-50 minute podcast.
