If only I could give 0 stars
If you enjoy plagiarism, bullying, narcissism, racism, misogyny and badly written shows this is the one for you! Host is completely unhinged and regularly harasses and attacks hosts of other podcasts online. The content of this podcast used to be okay, but now he basically reads out a Wikipedia page and adds a couple of comments.

Racist and sexist
The host is toxic! Couldn’t listen after a while. There’s better true crime shows out there that show respect to the victims and their families.

Excellent
One of the originals and definitely the best

Too bad the host is unstable
The show could have been a great thing, but instead it’s trash because mike is trash.

A huge mess lately
I used to be a fan but in the last few years the show went seriously downhill. The host has repetitively made bizarre racist, misogynistic, alt-right comments not only on her personal social media but the poscast’s socials as well. It used to just be facts about gruesome cases and now it’s so much personal whining and long winded complaints about things he’s brought upon himself it’s insufferable to listen to. If you’re looking for a true crime option theres far better options with ethical hosts I prefer to support.

Host has issues
Disgusting, racist, misogynistic man who has too much time on his hands. Do not listen to this.

Used to be good but have gone downhill
Recent episodes have been meandering and hard to follow. The host also seems to be pushing some political agenda against inclusivity and multiculturalism

Deliberately slow?
Anyone else find it like someone who is trying to fill time. Like slow-reading a Wikipedia page. Once I heard the paaaaauses I couldn’t keep listening.

There are better podcasts out there
I used to really like this podcast but the host has kind of become intolerable to me as of late. He has a holier than thou attitude and it rubs me the wrong way tbh. If you like true crime there are sooooo many other true crime pods out there - don’t support this one.

Insanity plea
Zachary Penna chose not to take the medication for his mental illness. That makes him culpable for his crimes.

Host thinks he’s someone special
He’s not. Loves to hear his own voice. Self absorbed bully and toxic male who is always right. My Doesn’t tell the story. There’s plenty of other podcasts available with better stories and much more likeable hosts.

Racist and misogynistic, don’t waste your time
They mocked a woman of colour’s name, referred to her as “Labia” and used it as an insult. Also they have poor storytelling skills. Wouldn’t even give them one star, but that’s the lowest rating possible. Do not recommend.

Episode 182
One of my favourites so far, your sarcasm gives these stories a bit of lightness to otherwise dark human behaviour. And the music for this episode ROCKED! Need more of that! Thank you!

Sexist?
I still listen to this podcast but I’m starting to get fed up of the host’s judgemental remarks and in episode 182 he says ‘Ladies, make up your mind.’ Was that necessary?

Honestly, this host is the worst.
I must admit that I do enjoy the stories but the host is the worst. FYI, no one cares about your bias and unintelligent opinions. Just tell the interesting stories...
