He reads too fast and his voice is monotone. Also he’s reading. It should sound conversational

Really. I just started your review of the Meredith Kercher Murder and I haven’t got a clue where you are coming up with any of this. It’s like you asked Chat-GPT to write a story about a murder and only gave it the names, dates and places in the prompt.

I only listened to one episode but it was 100% a verbatim reading of the Wikipedia page.

….for new fans of true crime, because most of your episodes are re runs from many other podcasts, or I could call the refried topics, everybody knows what they are about and and how they end. If you want to get attention of other type of fans, you need to bring some episodes less known or interesting topics that are not already mentioned 3,000 times. If your target is new fans keep doing what you do.

Just started listening to your podcast, and I think it’s great! The time is perfect for the ride to work. The research is great and your flow is good for an easy listen. - Upstate True Crime Podcast

Friend, unfortunately, I could only make it through my first episode. I know podcasting can be expensive, so if I may, I’d like to give you some suggestions of improvements that cost nothing: Your delivery is mumbled, too fast, and flat. I heard Adele say that she taught herself to sing by listening to her favorite singers every day and emulating them. Some podcasters I recommend with excellent delivery are Lindsay Graham, Candice DeLong, Mike Corey, and Cassie De Pecol. Notice to the inflection in their voices, their pacing, and their clarity. And turn up your volume. Practice your script before recording it, then edit out the mistakes. In the McDonalds shooting episode, you mispronounced and stumbled over the names throughout the entire show. When you do mess up, clean up the recording with an editor. Every phone has one until you can afford something more sophisticated. Work on your writing skills. It almost sounded like you were reading the police report: name, age, description of wounds, repeat. Tell a story rather than read a list of facts. The portion where you told the background of the shooter was good—add more like that. People regularly listen to 1.5-hour episodes; don’t worry that it will make your story too long. When you have a little money, get a better microphone. Just do this. Good luck, I wish you the best.

I can’t hear you and your voice is very mumbled. Unprofessional!

A very in-depth and well researched true crime podcast. Definitely worth subscribing and listening to every episode.

We enjoyed listening to the first episode. Extremely interesting!! - The Crime Chicks
