Soothing voice, good suspense but no gore. Considerately written, interesting content... although I have to re listen as I fall asleep half way through most!

Perfect.

Great voice, interesting subjects and no adverts…. I found this podcast by accident and I’m really glad I did. It stops my overthinking brain at night enough to send me to sleep.
Thank you for doing these podcasts and please keep them coming

Perfect for the people that have overthinking brains at night

Even though I recently discovered this podcast, I am thoroughly enjoying it and it’s definitely one of my favourites. If you like true crime but without the gory details then this is for you. The narrator’s soothing voice transforms these crime cases to bed time stories. This offers a different perspective to cases that have been examined before by others. Nancy Miller is doing a great job. Thank you for this podcast, please keep going.

True crime but make it soothing
