  • Belaboring

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years but I can’t take it anymore They tell good stories. However, they belabour the point. They state the obvious. They make mundane comments. One host will say something like “domestic violence is bad” and the other host will say the exact same thing but in different words. Commentary is mundane, repetitive, uncreative, trite, obvious, annoying.

  • Holly Bobo Episode

    Thank you for covering this case fully. I live 1.5 hours away from Parsons and followed this case from the get. Let me be clear, I don’t know anyone involved in the case.

I try to skip episodes on Holly Bobo, because I’ve never felt they solved the case and it’s always been presented as tho they did. I initially skipped yours, but ca... more

  • Really Solid True Crime Podcast

    I’m really glad this podcast was recommended to me. Criminology stands out for its clear respect for the victims, which is something I really appreciate. The hosts are thoughtful and engaging, and the writing is well-researched without being sensational. It’s informative, well-paced, and handled with care - one of the better true-crime podcasts I’ve listened to.

  • Interesting, But Sources Highly Questionable

    I found the podcast very interesting and really intrigued, but then I heard citations from Reddit posts and the Forensic Files TV show. Preferred stronger sources.
