Why Can’t There Just Be ONE “Simply Facts” Kind of Podcast?

I got about 10 minutes into the Karen Read “story” and I was done. I was just looking for someone who could simply state facts without giving their comments and VERY bias opinion every 30 seconds. Regardless of whose side they are on. This was dreadful. 0 stars.
Listener….

Weak interview-

Your questions are toooooo long!

What trial did he watch

Because Jen McCAbe clapped means she’s not a liar? Wow?! The Injuries are not consistent with being hit by a car!

Does this guy have a personal issue with the defense

Looking for a podcast about the trial not some guy with a personal agenda towards the defense team.

Details

You could at least name the cellebrite witness with the right name.

Yikes - not it

Originally thought this would have been an unbiased view of the trial. Not even close. Tried to give it another chance and started the 14 min episode (red flags in the case from an FBI agent) and couldn’t even get through the first few minutes. Listening to the hosts make assumptions about John’s mom and her read on Karen was gross. This podcast is not it.

Grasping at Straws

You’d think the hosts are a PR firm representing Canton PD. Embarrassing, biased and desperate to push a narrative that doesn’t align with any of the actual evidence.

I’ve been swayed by the crowd

I really liked this podcast until I read the one star reviews. I think the reviews themselves are whiny. But sadly they colored my enjoyment. The host of the podcast does have a radio DJ type of voice but so far his comments seem typical of a podcast host. I like his descriptions of the body language in the courtroom. He seems astute in his assessment of the witnesses. The uninterrupted telecast of the courtroom goings-on is absolutely riveting! Hours fly by. I cannot recommend it enough. It is fascinating to hear Mr.Brennan’s mellow approach against the defense. The defense keeps beating a horse long after it’s dead. I’m sure the jury is sick of his tv drama method of questioning. The guy must have learned to try cases by workshop or apprenticing to slick plaintiff lawyers. Karen chose poorly when she picked him to be her mouthpiece. At one point he says to his assistant, “I’m rushed” when the asst. is trying to find something for him. He’s not rushed; he’s unprepared.

Not a podcast if you want just the info

Was looking for just the facts, this is not it.

The Story

Jennifer C. I’ve always heard from the beginning Karen Read has always said that she had seen John O. go into the Alberts home. The side door. Jennifer SMH. What trail did you watch the first time?
Ticky tacky2

I wonder if he thinks KR is a narcissist

Suggesting this is an “unbiased” podcast is akin to someone saying “not to judge……but”. If I took a shot for every time the word “narcissist” and “flying monkey” came up I’d be as drunk as Karen Read was herself that fateful night. The NBC podcast of the trial is much better.
Fatguy101

Nope!!!

Sorry, you can say you’re impartial all you want but this review is actually coming from someone who ONLY wants an impartial podcast…because I have ZERO skin on either side of this game. What I’ve noticed is your ridiculous insults against KR. Regardless of whether they’re true or not, it tells me I’m not getting a non-biased podcast. BYE✌🏻👋🏻

Excellent

Great perspectives

Nothing to see here

Unprofessional podcast with poor sound quality. The guy sounds like he’s in the bathroom. The woman has some good takes and says a few things of interest psychologically, but the guy wants to talk about his own exes. People with crazy exes can be the ones that drove them crazy too, so it only really makes him look like a jerk to bring this up. Same with the Karen Read case. We don’t know if he did cheat or had cheated and that’s why she was insecure but they go straight for the idea that she’s just the crazy one. The guy also says John’s brother died but it was his sister so he doesn’t seem to even know the case. Also, he doesn’t cut clips in he tries to find them and use them during the show which adds to the unprofessional feel.

Fun show, host is kind of a jerk

Desperate for the content but the host does have a clear disgust for Karen Read so I’m not confident I’m getting clear information. The house is definitely trying his best to be objective, but there are certain parts where you can just tell he’s ripping with hatred and disdain. I get it, it’s a popular case and everyone’s gonna have opinions. But this guy just absolutely can’t stand this woman. Honestly, it sounds like this guy is still getting over his ex-girlfriend because he mentions her so often in comparison to Karen Reed and how that’s some sort of experience males him an expert in what he calls narcissists. I know, I know, he repeatedly says that he’s not an expert, but he keeps repeating and repeating that Karen Reid is a narcissist, and that opinion is based on his experience with his ex girlfriend . This guy just is struggling and this podcast must be his outlet

The information is good, but good Lord, that whistling “s” was horrendous on my ears. I turned the volume down and still could not stand the squeaking. I had to turn it off.
Cmm113

Unbiased?

Look up the definition of that please, because this ain’t it. Also could do without the hosts recorded coughing. Talk about lack of professionalism.
Vesiculartuna

This is a Joke

This is so poorly done and is totally biased in favor of the commonwealth. First, the two do not know simple aspects of Law and Order. They do not understand the defense’s job. They also do not understand the relationship between John and the people in the house. They were NOT friends. They knew each other. There is a difference.

Nonstop ads!

5 minutes of adds to end a 15 minute episode?!
Reasonableplayersolidadvice

Good job

Refreshing to hear coverage from someone not caught up in the mob mentality that Turtleboy and Read purposely created around this case.
alexrob22

Biased and misogynistic

Was looking for an informative take. Sadly SO biased. The male host compares his “narcissistic” ex gfs and wife to Karen 😬
Lissasj

Blatantly biased

The investigation was a sham, with reasonable doubt at every turn. Can’t believe this is being pushed as a recommendation
Bxxtr11

Can’t even listen to it anymore

This podcast has gotten so bad. The host is so biased and whiny… he can’t even pretend he doesn’t hate Karen Read. It’s gotten unbearable to listen to. Do not recommend. 0 stars if I could.
KAZ7885

Poor audio quality & reporting

This is maddeningly difficult to listen to- if not for the poor quality of sound, for the mental gymnastics the presenters do to paint legal cases in a manner favorable to the prosecution- which, if you know this case- is no small feat 😂
Meesh725

FKR

She’s innocent. No question. The police are corrupt
GreenIsDenise

Biased Looney Tunes

Waste of your time. The hosts of the actual podcast part are complete looney tunes and using the trial audio to boost their listener audience. Disgustingly biased, look no further than the episode titles.
notaperfectmommy

Biased and rude

Don’t bother listening to this unless you want to hear a complete misrepresentation of the facts. Host brings on guests and sets them up with leading questions, and the. they prop up his mistruths. Co-host has never had an original thought.
Meganeesium

One Sided & Hard to Listen To

For some reason he needs to pronounce Karen’s name incorrectly as thought it’s an intentional slight. She isn’t listening, I’m sure. The bias is so egregious, it’s hard to listen to. Some facts, but a lot of one person’s opinion.
giga chad ukraine

What did I just listen to? Biased 1000

Wow, I was hopeful for a Karen podcast. The bias is thick.
kristi821

don’t waste your time

i listened to a lot of episodes because i wanted to hear the trial, bits that i missed. the trial episodes at some point started skipping and were often impossible to listen to. the commentary episodes are often incredibly biased. tony’s hate for turtleboy clouds his judgement. he also doesn’t get his facts straight. he’s too busy hating on karen and everything related to her. really disappointed in this podcast. if you want an unbiased version of this case, listen to the 13th Juror podcast.
Rhody19

Completely biased

Super super biased. This guy sounds like an idiot half the time. Two stars simply because some of the actual court info is good but the conclusion this guy draws from certain things is wild.
BoWcephusD

Had to unfollow

The bias was so clear. Rather than just letting the story tell itself it reels you in then trash talks.
Leogrlz

Clearly a one sided opinion

This is clearly biased. There is no 2 sided angle to this podcast which just lacks intelligence. Clearly on the side of corruption and hates KR. Shameful, since you don’t know her personally. I prefer to hear both sides when digging into this story. It helps to see more clearly things just don’t add up. But if you are like this podcaster, you may think she’s guilty too. There’s a plethora of reasonable doubt, but you won’t hear it on this podcast!
ryannlynn

So bias

Too many ads and very little content or fact checking. So bad and very bias. The audacity to seek out premium members to pay is laughable and offensive. Definitely not worth it. Wouldn’t recommend.
Composition Books

Sick cash grab.

Poorly put-together with nothing but biased guests and a complete moron of a host. With all the commercials, it’s clear that this is just a cash grab over other folks’ tragedy.
A. FUNT

Blah blah blah

I need justice for my ears.
mary sio

Wow biased against Karen Read

1st time listening - Karen is fighting for her life and all you’ve done is attack her. Not a good crime podcast - so biased and victim shaming. Won’t listen again. You’re as bad as turtle boy.
CheckFacts

No FactChecking

Poor editing …. Please remove nasal issues , it’s distracting and unprofessional. Further, there’s not unbiased facts disclosed in proper contexts …annoying ads. Skip this one.
Ehenrie

Clearly Biased

Clearly biased against Karen Read, but there is some good info included and discussed. Much rather have an unbiased, untainted podcast. The Court Audio is great, the 20 min episode with 8 minutes of ads is not great
BRITBURESKI

This is not a podcast it’s literally 95% ads. So bizarre not sure how this is even allowed to be posted as actual content.

Say His Name - KIRK MINIHANE

I notice there was no credit given in your most recent podcast that covered Sandra Birchmore, that it was Barstool’s “The Case” Podcast presented by Kirk Minihane that was the reason that case was re-opened.
hi trashie mom

Commercials and biased

Get your facts straight!!! It was Karen Read supporters that had their lawns bleached!
Tbleprox

Stop with the editing!

Leave the court testimony as is. This editing and speeding the testimony up makes it impossible to listen to. Why did you start doing this??? To save money?? It doesn’t make sense. If I want to skip ahead I can do that. You never did this on any previous trials.
Mynameisberies

This show is silly (ALL Advertisements)

Episodes are just the same clips over and over again. Some episodes are 27 minutes and 22+ minutes are ads. Now he’s spouting nonsense about an altered photo depicting a client and attorney together romantically and speculating about their characters and how this could impact the future. Stop spreading unsubstantiated lies and AI photos. Gross.
tj0426!

Don’t waste your time

Garbage
ammorse7

Ugh

Awful. Where did you get the photo on your thumbnail, Michael Proctor? Jennifer Cofindaffer? She is proven to work for the prosecution. Ridiculous
bree3177

Not very factual

If you love cops and throw out all facts and evidence out the window then I guess this is the podcast for you. If you want to hear about actual facts and evidence this is not the one to listen to.

Commercials with a bit of content

Like a car accident that you can’t look at. 90% commercials. Has the host ever watched court tv. Mis states facts and also completely butchered the phrase “voir dire.”
