  • Likes the sound of his own opinion

    I have tried so hard to stick through all the painful parts of this podcast to hear some Canadian true crime but this guy is unbelievably narrow minded and out of touch. He loves to mansplain his weightless opinion and cannot bear to consider anyone else might know better. He is rude and disrespectful in his carelessness and ignorance to other peoples lives; sexism, misogyny, male partner violence and abuse, or anyone in need of an assistance. Maybe learn the correct terms when you are doing a p... more

  • Ugh... NS Rampage & the Sullivan piece. :-(

    Wow. First ten minutes of episode 1 — narrator is stumbling around trying to express how devastating the crime was, when he clearly can’t. Just get on with the story! “I can’t believe how terrible this was” “I’ve never heard of these towns” “I’m from here” This isn’t about you. Please don’t do a report when you’re traumatized, and the whole story isn’t yet known. Also, refusing to use Wortman’s name makes for a really awkward listening experience. I’m just sitting here hoping the piece will smoo... more
