Used to be great.

This used to be a great podcast. Excellent storytelling by an engaging host. There were always technical issues - the sound was never leveled properly, for example - but it was darn good storytelling. Over the last few years, though, this podcast has gone way downhill.

Instead of focusing on content, every new release has more and more of the time dedicated to the grousing and complaining of the host. He victim-blames, woman-shames, and insults the entirety of GenZ. It has basically gone from a 100% True Crime podcast to a 68% podcast and 22% the host basically yelling "Get off my lawn."

It's unfortunate, but its become cringey and unlistenable. Also, it's shockingly expensive. But I would have paid that cost for the old show. Probably.
