So interesting

Especially in recent episodes they've managed to really mesh their different areas of expertise very well to lay out well-researched and interesting crimes

Love the Content

Kate can be annoying. She’s asks Paul questions, but answers them with her opinion first . I don’t know if she’s really awkward , but asks questions with the intent on just talking herself. I want to like her so much. Maybe she’s just uncomfortable
.

fish talk with Paul holes🤣🤣

I absolutely love this podcast. Kate is a amazing story teller, and Paul's expertise voices so many of the questions that run throw your head as you hear these cases. I also live and appreciate the chit chat, they both are professionals, but the banter "lightens the load" on what is in fact a heavy subject matter.
