I love this series. Great writing. I love Simon's tangents and the sense of humour in these dark cases.

I listen to this podcast every day, and overall it’s a very engaging and well-produced show. Most of the writers do an excellent job crafting compelling true crime stories that really draw you in. The editing could use some improvement - there are often repeated segments or oddly placed cuts that can disrupt the flow. Simon is a fantastic host with a natural storytelling ability and great delivery. While some of his personal remarks are leftist at times, and I don’t always agree with them, he remains an excellent and engaging host who makes the show well worth listening to.

Overall great show

I eagerly await each new episode. I love that the matter is handled sensitively in regards to the victims and it's not crime porn.

Love Factboy and the Casual Criminalist
