Been listening for several years now, appreciate that the producers present the stories in a respectful manner. Side note, I really like the theme song too!

The guy doing the narration sounds like he has something wedged way, way up there.

PLEASE give trigger warnings for animal abuse or death

Omg. The narrator sounds like he’s reading children’s books. Ugh!

This show covers the victim’s side of true crime in a respectful way. It is thoughtful and relevant to the human experience.

Read a script of a dateline episode you've seen at least 10 times, then thus is the podcast for you.

Great podcast for years… still enjoying his contact😎

Grown adults whining about how someone miss pronounces a word are the true definition of a Karen..

The voice is so annoying I couldn’t make it past three minutes

Great story! However the person who tells it has a very annoying voice and talks slow. I had to speed it up.

The voice is incredibly difficult to listen to. The content is good, quality is good, production is good, but the presentation is ruined by the overly dramatic, ridiculous voice.

Very good and interesting podcast.

I want to rate this higher but the narrator’s voice and the way he talks makes me want to pull all my hair out. I’ve only listened to one episode but I don’t think I can continue if they are all narrated by the same guy.

i’ve ever heard on a podcast…love his topics but that voice…and it seems so phony…i’ve tried to listen…it’s impossible…

They’re really trying to eliminate free content this season, so this might be nearing the end for me. Has been great though

Please look up how to pronounce city names before saying them 75 times in an episode. It’s so distracting to anyone who knows them. Charlotte, MI is pronounced shar-LOT - not like the name. 😉

This is a great podcast but the narrators voice makes it unbearable to listen to. I don’t understand it.

My fave show to binge when my ADHD starts, or I have a long car ride.

I am new here and have only listened through the Broken Connections episode. The writing and layout of the story was engaging and interesting, but the voice reading the script was really distracting. It really really sounded like an AI voice and felt super inappropriate for the story it was telling. I sounded like it was set to the tone of some smoky-baritone male reading with the cadence of a dateline reporter telling a salacious story. The variations and inflections were so regular and unwavering in pattern that it felt like a really formulaic attempt to fake us all out. I may try another episode, but won’t be able to stick with it if they don’t let a real person tell us the story.

Ads out of control on yet another formerly loved show. Another unsubscribe.

This is my absolute favorite podcast. The stories are so interesting and very well narrated, I can visualize every detail. Each story is so unique, I expected every story to be similar, but that is not the case. I listen to this podcast any time I can! Love love love!

Soooo many adds these days, makes the show hard to listen to anymore.

I like the detail of the stories. I'm listening to earlier versions and REALLY prefer the slower, less sing-songy tone of the narrator's voice. Sounds much more natural.

I was really disappointed when the original theme music was changed. The replacement didn’t have the same vibe and it really didn’t set the right tone. It wasn’t bad, no offense to anyone. The first week it was back, I thought maybe it was an accident. Sounds like it’s back long term though and I had to come say thank you!! The original one really has a more serious sound and it pairs better with the awesome narrator’s voice. That original intro and the narrator are what hooked me in the first place, years ago! The writing, production, everything is top tier! The ads are nobody’s fave but not everyone can pay to support the podcast and I’m just happy one of my favorites is still around, always on time and always riveting.

So many commercials, can’t get to the story…I think I’ll have to pass.

I am so happy the original them music is back!

I listened to about 3 minutes before I turned it off. The narrator’s poor attempt to be creepy with his ridiculously over the top and fake voice was so awful. How is anyone expected to listen to that? Is this dude serious?

Great stories, bad narrator’s voice is unpleasant.

Commercial increase making it difficult to continue listening. More commercials than story.

Do not keep publishing these lies !! We need justice for rosalio his killer is still out there !!!!

Is beyond annoying.

Love this podcast… I really miss the theme song you had until a few episodes ago tho. It was my favorite podcast theme for some reason. Bring it back!!! Or don’t, I’m not the boss of you whatevs.

I've listened to this show for years. Great show. I commend them for attempting a deep dive/solve but that was a swing and a miss. A month's worth of episodes for no closure. I'm sorry but that was a let down. Then to say we hope we set her spirit free huh???

This 4 part series was amazing. It was so respectful of Andy and Jennifer as their stories were told, not to mention the many other sex worker victims. Please listen to this series if you can!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for quite a while now and have always loved it— especially the quiet, creepy music that really gave it a unique atmosphere. Also love the narrator’s soothing voice. Unfortunately, recently, quite a bit of ads with jarring, loud music has been interspersed at various points throughout the podcast that is just awful. Completely changed the creep factor to just obnoxious. Please put the ads together in one place— preferably the beginning or end… UPDATE— just can’t deal with ALL. THE. ADS. Unsubscribed after being a loyal listener for over 5 years.

I just paid for the as free version and there are STILL SO MANY ADS! What gives?

Shane’s voice is soooo creepy. 😩can’t listen to this last episode! Love this podcast but eeeeek can’t hear that creepy voice!

The content is relatively interesting but the narrator’s voice is a massive distraction. And there are far too many ads.

This podcast is well written, covers some very intriguing stories and has a great narrator! Seriously one of my favorite voices in podcasts. So easy to listen to. One of the bests in my opinion!

I like how they look back on the killers life to try to understand possibly why? some people comment it shouldn’t be that way but how many times do you hear a case and just wonder why?! then it all makes sense because they have been crazy since childhood! like the guy who tried to burn his whole family (#71), as a child then later killed his wife 🤷🏻‍♀️ ...not sure why some people write reviews of specific episodes to discuss? esp without specifying which episode...Also I liked it better when just one person tells the story the newer episodes with guests I don't like. I see some comments about your voice but that voice definitely makes the show awesome!

Great show

I was very hopeful for this show because the ep descriptions were intriguing but after listening I wont be following… I have no idea why the choice was made to tell these stories in the manner of someone doing an over the top “Keanu Reeves ala Bill & Ted giving a dramatic reading” impression but it’s ruined what might be a good show…(nothing against Keanu, I love him & am offended i his behalf).. it reminds me of Disgracedland which also has interesting subjects but is impossible to listen to… heightened line readings can be effective but every single line in this show is overly done & it’s too much…

The writing on this podcast is very good, and interesting. However, I’m going to have to unfollow the podcast because the narrator's attempt to sound mysterious is coming across so fake and annoying that I just can’t take it.

Too many ads to enjoy. I listened for a long time but now it’s too much.

Every sheriff, police, district attorney and other should listen to this episode. The red flags were there. Horrible chaos in a place so beautiful.

We enjoy your voice so much, that when other guests are brought on to talk for the majority of the show it is a huge turn off. Their voices are not as quality as yours and it takes away from the shows overall. It also shows a sign of laziness having others speak for so long. Please go back to the original version of just your voice with news clip recordings of cases. Otherwise we love your show.

I like the case coverage. But the narrators voice and dramatic delivery is very annoying. I've literally had to stop listening because of it .

Geeze man, I’ve never left a review but I couldn’t take it any longer. This voice and the way he reads the story is AWFUL! I can’t make it through an episode!

Would prefer a new host- voice is annoying and too many ads.

I’ve always enjoyed the masterful storytelling of Mind of Madness but this Halloween episode really tops it all! Added supernatural elements pushed the intricate case to the next level. Keep up the great work!
