I’m a newer listener and absolutely hooked. The stories are devastating, but they’re told in a way that’s compelling, informative, and deeply respectful. Ashley is an incredible storyteller, the amount of research, detail, and backstory she brings to each case really sets this podcast apart. You can tell how much care goes into the storytelling, and it makes the cases stay with you long after the episode ends.That said, I could personally do with less of the co-host commentary. There are moments where questions or reactions feel repetitive, and the resulting back-and-forth can sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable…especially when Ashley responds with things like “as I said,” which can come across as dismissive or make it feel like the information wasn’t being tracked. It slightly disrupts the otherwise excellent flow of the narrative.Overall though, the strength of the cases and Ashley’s storytelling far outweigh this for me, and I’ll absolutely keep listening. A standout true-crime podcast.
