I love the show but the repeats are really annoying.

I wanted to listen to the Black Swan episode but the Vanity Fair contributor’s vocal fry was like nails on chalkboard. When are young people going to drop this annoying affectation?

Many repeat cases and the background music is ridiculously loud and makes it difficult to hear people speaking. Imagine having a conversation in the same room as someone playing the drums. This podcast is marginally better than that scenario. I only listen when I’ve run out of other podcasts to listen to, and often not even then. People keep complaining about it in the reviews but apparently no one’s listening.

It’s not like there aren’t enough unsolved murder cases out there that need public attention, why so many repeats? And have you actually listened to the Midnight Order hosts’ obnoxious “valley girl” vocal fry? They sound like annoying bimbos, idk who can stand listening to that.

Enjoy listening to the podcast I won’t say that I love it because sad Lane I started from the beginning and I have came across the same episode at least five times I had to go back and look and make sure that I had it on unplayed episodes. it wouldn’t bother me so much except for I listen when I ride or while I’m doing something that I have to either listen to the repeated episode for the time stop what I’m doing to Market is played

The distracting addition of jazz music throughout the ENTIRE podcast episode makes it intolerable for me.

Pretty good stories, but it drives me absolutely nuts that dateline and 48 hours just post the same stories with “slightly” different interviews and act like it’s brand new. They are both guilty, not pointing fingers here. There are tons of murders- can’t you find an original story?

amazing podcast🤘🏽🫶🏽

one of my favorite podcasts!

Like others have said, the music is too loud. It doesn’t hit the same like Dateline or 20/20. They need to improve the music and turn it down. It’s so outdated.

Good podcast but all the ads ruin it, to many ads

I like to hear facts, not the opinions of the hosts. Why do interviews if you already formed an opinion about your questions?

Great show and I would give 5 stars, but the background music on older episodes needs to go. It is so distracting and loud.

You should not call fourteen days year old girls women!

This is one of the best shows, and I love binging this show on long car rides.

Why is every episode someone getting r@p*d?? And the reenactments???? Honestly I cannot listen to this channel anymore

I can’t listen to a pod that allows ads like dove soap that think America hates black people. It’s stupid to think that landlords won’t rent to people based on their hair style. So asinine.

I enjoy the stories but cannot stand the sound or Erin Moriarty’s voice. It makes me want to stick chopsticks in my ears. PLEASE PLEASE get her voice off the podcast. It’s horrendous.

The music just ruins it

I come when I run out of new episodes of my favorite shows.. I do love the reporting, but the music is loud and doesn’t coincide with the moment well.

What’s with all the horrible background music and sounds. It’s terrible and interferes with the story.

the music is too loud and too annoying. Think I’ll just delete this show..

Turning off this podcast because the music is stupid

I’m all in with the story, but I’m tired of these ignorant uneducated people saying such dumb things as “everyone knows the baby of the family is always a problem” , what a ridiculous blanket statement.

This is a horrifying crime. The song you put under this episode is creepy and inappropriate.

The music, sound bites, and background sounds completely diminish the overall experience. Dateline is the benchmark for me when it to comes to true crime reporting.

The way too frequent ads has become so annoying I don’t want to listen to what should be a great podcast. Also the theme music has always made me grit my teeth.

So devastating and so inspiring. What courage and strength. I may stop listening to any episodes that have the music running through it. It is very annoying and takes away from the story of the survivor telling her story. The music seems disingenuous.

Story was interesting , however the constant inappropriate music was distracting and way to loud. The music did not enhance the drama of this story, it felt like a cheap horror movie.

I love most of the content… the added music is so annoying and adds nothing …

I love listening to 48 hrs podcasts and look forward to each episode. The music and sound effects played throughout this episode ruined it for me. I wanted to hear the survivor’s story, however had to turn it off because the music was so annoying. If I wanted to listen to music I would be listening to music instead of podcasts. Very disappointed!

I’m listening to Live to Tell: The Railroad killer You guys NEED to approach the music differently. The woman who keeps singing “ahhhhhh” & played over and over is super annoying. The dramatic music is so over the top, you don’t need to make it so theatrical. Your podcast is fine but the music is cringey.

Railroad killer had obnoxious singing.

I can't listen to this podcast anymore. I tried to listen to the story about the girl and her friend who were attacked on the railroad, and the etheral, ghostly music in the background was so distracting and disrespectful of the victim telling her story. They do this all the time in their podcasts. Stop, already!

The stories are compelling, but the editing and sound are atrocious.

The stories and content is good but the loud unrelated music is very distracting. It almost seems disrespectful to the survivors telling their stories.

Why wreak these peoples story’s. The last lived episode is terrible. So much random noises and singing that doesn’t fit in. Too bad because these people’s story’s need to be heard. But I can’t hear it here.

Why the unnecessary sound effects and music? Not only does it distract from the story, it’s also at a volume that makes it even more of a nuisance. Not to mention the fact that it’s completely corny and even cringey. The latest episode, RR Killer, is one of the most egregious examples of this. I gave up after 10 minutes of screeching violin music completely overriding the speaker.

As a jurist would have had my doubts about his guilt if he had said his wife was upset about the affair put a gun to her head to exemplify her distress and it accidentally went off instead of suggesting she had a suicidal disposition which doesn’t seem to be the case. Unfortunate they didn’t test her hair for gun residue. Definitely a hard call case.

Stop with all the horrible sound effects. That’s why the rating went down.

Seems some episodes have a lot of accessory sounds. It is a little over done at times. For example Tacoma Confidential- why the ransoms saxophone? And the bird cawing noise? But if you can get past that the stories are interesting and easy to follow.

Not much mystery when the synopsis has all the story right there

I listen to the one about OJ Simpson and I wonder if he would have been a white person if he would’ve been acquitted or if he’d been in jail for a very long time??????

this is such a rip off and a useless waste of money. DO NOT subscribe to this podcast!

I love u guys but the stories are getting old and repetitive. New stories no one cares to hear the same things everyone is talking about .

Simply a professional and well written podcast. No sensational commentary. Just the facts! Thank you 👍🏼

Why am I paying for subscriber edition AND getting adds???? Not cool!

I paid for a subscription so I wouldn’t have to hear ads. My ad-free experience lasted a single day before the ads returned. Not sure what the issue is but it needs to be resolved before I am charged for another month.

Why am I paying for an “ad-free” listening experience yet still hearing ads! FIX THIS.

Like many others, I use earbuds to listen to podcasts. It’s very unpleasant to listen to the story content, then have the commercials start blasting in volume. Also they are very few commercials that are constantly repeated over and over throughout months of the series. Give us a break and monitor the volume difference between content and commercials. I’ve switched to different programs that have far fewer commercials. And no, don’t ask me to pay for commercial-free content. I can’t afford it.
