  • It all depends on the guest.

    I’ve listened to half a dozen of these now and have mixed opinions. Essentially, it all depends on the person being interviewed. Sam Nicoresti was a very painful listen, just a boring individual trying to be interesting. Edward Brooke-Hitching was incredible, truly amazing. There is also no need for the long intro, constant digression and I wish there was a filter to cancel out vocal fry and people saying ‘like’, that way True Crime Soulmates could be listenable. I’ll give it a bit more time.
