Listener sentiment
Recent listeners remain overwhelmingly positive, with praise anchored in host Mike's storytelling — reviewers repeatedly describe him as witty, thoroughly researched, and able to balance dark humor with genuine respect for crime victims, and many long-time viewers of his YouTube channel have followed him to the podcast. Co-host Keith has become the show's most-discussed feature: most listeners adore the pair's chemistry and the loose, two-old-friends-chatting feel (his ghost stories and running jokes come up often), while a persistent minority wish the banter were trimmed, complaining that episodes can open with long stretches of chatter and inside jokes before the story begins and that Mike alone makes for a tighter listen. A few isolated reviews fault specific episodes for factual errors or rushed coverage, and one or two point to over-editing, but neither recurs widely. Compared with earlier windows, when reviewers raised almost no complaints at all, that critical thread is new — yet the median listener is still a devoted fan who treats the show as a weekly ritual.
