I like the episodes they put out, but the daily spam of “shows I might be interested in” from this feed is extremely annoying and clutters up my podcast app with nonsense, unsubscribing soon if it keeps up
I started listening to this because of the single episode stories, which I like. I tried the 5 episode season and couldn’t get past the third episode. If you’ve listened to true crime podcasts long enough, then you can tell when they’ve run out of stuff and are going to restate the exact same information over and over again. By the end of episode two I knew there wasn’t going to be any resolution, but I tried one more episode. Not worth it, just skip the first season and listen to the single episodes.
I got halfway through the Byron David Smith episode and then my podcast app crashed. I tried restarting it several times, but every time I opened the app it would crash. Finally managed to delete that episode and start another episode of another show and the app stopped crashing.
I think my friend Maníge Blackburn would make a hilariously satisfying season. She’s like a Jack of all vigilantes, but harmless and petty to the extreme 🤣Anyways! Love the show!
Really liked the show and the hosts reporting. But like many of the other reviews have said, the ads are terribly placed throughout the show. Placing an ad mid-sentence is pretty low quality production work. I’ve noticed this on other Kast media shows as well. While I would love to subscribe to the show and have no ads, there isn’t enough content/shows I have found from Kast that I can justify the cost. Therefore, I just skip over the ads as they come. I just wish they were cut into the show better than they are currently.
The volume and the timing of ads is so jarring that I’ve stopped listening to episodes. I get that you need to get paid but most decent podcasts let you know when they’re going to add and don’t do so in the middle of a sentence.
Hi,
This is an outstanding podcast, but unfortunately there is a persistent editing flaw. In the middle of heady, emotional conversations, there is an interruption of jarring, upbeat ads. These occur mid-sentence. I’m a huge podcast fan, and I have yet to listen to a podcast that messes up ad placement in this matter. Please, edit in the ads properly!
Super interesting, host is a great journalist. Blown away by the Tim Miller reporting. Fascinating man and great coverage of his life and his work.
Looking forward to more episodes. Thank you!
I love this podcast so much! It’s so smooth, and the perfect length as well! Y’all did such an amazing job, and I can’t wait to listen to every episode!!!
I really enjoy this podcast. The stories are interesting. I really like that the episodes are “just right” length for how long it takes me to get to work.
Confusing and sensationalized. The story just isn’t that great, despite the host trying to make it more interesting and dramatic than it really is. Ultimately nothing is resolved and there is no real end to this story.
YOOOOOO, this Allie Conti host is a G!!! Do you like True Crime Podcasts? Me neither! But please understand: this podcast is an anomaly of unique findings, and Allie Conti executes this thing with formidable panache! This podcast is aligned with what is probably the Greatest Color Combination of All Time: BLACKANDYELLOWBLACKANDYELLOW!!!! If THAT doesn’t sway you, then I don’t know what will! G’s 4 LYYYYYFFFFEEE!!!
After listening to this podcast, I keep hearing ads for it and they infuriate me. One reviewer called it click bait, and that's exactly what it is. Talk about anticlamactic. I only listened because I thought they must be building up to the interesting stuff. Nope. There are so many good podcasts, don't bother with this one.
The series about Tim and his daughter - it started off interesting but then the last three episodes just basically regurgitate the first two episodes. The biggest aspect of this would be a conversation with the prime suspect yet the host wrote it off as being too dangerous. To investigate a disappearance (multiple disappearances ) of women, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t accept this as part of it. Why go down this path if you’re not willing to speak to all those involved? Just doesn’t make sense to me from an investigative, journalistic perspective.
Kind of misleading because, all the podcast listed in your bio you say you are similar to…. You are a combination of all their worst qualities. The mindless drivel & pointless banter is worse than the last Podcast On The Left and I was a diehard morbid fan, but I just can’t listen to them anymore now that they have just completely stopped caring about the work that they put out so I was on the hunt for a new podcast… & I guess I will have to keep looking
This podcast sounded great in the ads but after listening to it, I promise you it’s not what it claims to be. The hosts life is never in danger. Tim basically decides he doesn’t want to work with her when she won’t go talk to Clyde, the prime suspect. She acts like tim is manipulative or setting her up or something when he seems to want the journalist to be a journalist and interview people. The FBI guy is like interviews are the most important way to solve cold cases and the host is like “nothing could possibly be gained by interviewing the prime suspect.”
And look Tim seems absolutely crazy but like rightly so and maybe try getting into the why of that instead of just trying to make him look bad when he hoped you were going to help him solve his daughter’s death.
There is a good podcast in this subject matter: Tim destroying innocent people’s lives when he got it wrong; why the ME hid so much; why so many women and girls were going missing in this area in the 80’s. The evidence that supports Clyde’s guilt. But none of those were the podcast we got. Instead we got a made up drama about fake threats and repetitive story telling.
i was hopeful. very interesting story. the podcast wasnt put together well. repeating the same clips again and again and again. i like the host's voice but just didnt do a good job telling the story. change the music too.
Allie’s journalistic style is not the problem. This is a very stick-to-the-facts podcast in terms of description of the crime and narrative context, but she has a flair for the dramatic when she claims her life was at risk when Tim proposes she interview Clyde in person.
As is the case with so many true crime podcasts, the victims of the crime at the root of the story are erased from this story. The central character is Tim, although we don’t delve deeply into how his grief has shaped and derailed his life. In fact, the listeners are led to believe Tim has found his calling because his daughter was killed—vigilantism and decades of plotting and retribution. It’s a weird take.
