Why did you allow this Christian shiester on? Andy Peterson is nothing but a prosperity gospel monger running with gimmick. He stands with Charlie Kirk, he stands with misogyny, racism, and hate.
First of all, neither one of these have anything at all to do with the classic cold case files show we know and love nor are they in any way related to true crime. They are weirdly blended into the same genre. It makes no sense. Those two subjects aren’t even related. But then when I have your show specifically set up for automatic downloads I don’t want them force fed to me on there as well! Maybe suggest it a list of that topic but don’t combine them in the same show. I do not at all wish to l... more
If the subscriber addition worked I’d give 5 stars
I agree on moving the “I Survived” episodes elsewhere that other reviewers have suggested.
As a fellow survivor, I skip the vast majority of them. (Bears, wildlife, etc I’ll listen to).
Commercials are to be expected and I think this one is very good compared to others in this format re: quantity & location to insert them.
Overall enjoy the actual cold case files immensely!
Please keep producing these!
CCF is in my top 3 favorite true crime podcasts. What happened to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? I’m not the only listener who’s not down with this new story-jumping format. It made me immediately stop listening. At first, I thought it had skipped stories or episodes, but no, y’all actually did that on purpose. Hope you don’t plan on keeping it that way.
