4.5 out of 5 stars from 4.8k ratings
  • One of my favorite true crime podcasts of all time. Robin is one of the most humble, nicest podcasters I've listened to and his presentation of the stories is very respectful and well researched. I love when he gives his own analysis at the end of the case, it's like listening to a friend give their own thoughts about the subject.

  • Good research and interesting cases

    I appreciate this podcast and the research and thought that goes into it. I think Robin strikes a good balance of sharing his own thoughts while not being overly opinionated while thoroughly covering the facts and theories of each case. Like many others, I also watched "unsolved mysteries "as an older child. It was really my first exposure to true crime content. I've noticed that most podcast like this one that cover unsolved cases can get a little repetitive when going through theories, so I ... more

  • Steady and compassionate

    Mr. Warder does an excellent job providing thorough and thoughtful coverage of very upsetting topics.

    He does this without using foul language or lurid fixating on details.

    Compassionate and steady delivery.

  • No stone uninterrogated

    My biggest pet peeves with true crime podcasts are (1) being more about the hosts than the cases and (2) lazy rehashing of what we could easily find in Wikipedia, especially when there are glaring “what the…” things about the case. TTWC avoids both and is one of the narrative bests: one of the reasons I like true crime is the narrative storytelling format and this one excels. And again, there’s no “what the…” that gets past Robin; he will guaranteed explore any angle you can think of, fairly and... more
