Listener Reviews

I love this podcast ! I just found it so I play it constantly trying to catch up ! I love up and vanished and heard you covering a court case for them !

I just discovered this podcast and binge listen while at my computer or in my car since I have five years worth of episodes to catch up on. As a lifelong resident of Oakland County I appreciate all the details in the narration that are extremely accurate as to locations and other events occurring during the time frame being covered during the episode. Nina is very thorough in her investigations and narration and her honesty and compassion is abundantly clear. Plus her voice is so soothing it makes even the harshest storyline more palatable. Five stars is not enough praise for this podcast.✨✨🌟🌟✨✨⭐️⭐️

I don't know how Nina finds so many cases I've never heard of but she does and she tells the stories well and with a lot of details. I realized so many podcasts tell the story so flatly that it feels like they're making a fiction of someone's tragedy and this is one of the only shows that doesn't do that because Nina has so much compassion.

I love every episode! No complaints except I really wish they’d change the jarring screeching sound in the intro. The rest is so soothing and even keeled, it’s really jarring between episodes especially because I sometimes sleep to this. Otherwise, it’s suspenseful, informative and to the point with the facts…not full of extra chatter and personal opinions, unlike a lot of podcasts… which I love.

I randomly found this podcast and I love it. I’m binging it. It’s straight forward, no weird music or voices, no long personal stories. Just pleasant! I’ve listened to thousands of truecrime podcasts and I a rarely find stories I haven’t heard. But honestly, most of these are new to me! I’m excited that I have so many more episodes to look forward to 😃 keep up the awesome work.

The host Nina has an incredibly soothing voice (even when expressing justified outrage at some of the cases she covers) and frequently takes on cases new to me, an avid true crime content consumer. Her lens is empathetic and she offers some personal connections to the area and cases she covers (which is always so interesting, I loved her additional information on describing the apartments she grew up in where a case occurred or how adopting her son has given her a touch point to child care case workers). Really enjoying this podcast and appreciate the work that goes into this.

Nina, I have been an avid listener since I first played your podcast. The fact that, at the end of your interview, Collier Landry said theg "however you deal with your trauma" and included alcoholism and self harm, seemily as okay reactions??? That is UTTERLY heinous.

This podcast episode #188 has triggered a cascade of memories of my hometown of Royal Oak. I recently found the show “Already Gone” and have been thrilled and amazed at the local reference points in each Mi episode to set the stage. “Pop, liverwurst sandwiches for lunch, Woodward Ave, Northwood Shopping Center” etc. and just the right amount of so accurate local nostalgia to made me chuckle. Keep up the great work, Nina and staff. This is the real deal of being born

Nina does an excellent job of covering these cases. She does a great job of breaking down the details without all of the fluff. And she has the best story telling voice!

I have been listening to this podcast for a long time. Interesting cases and great host. I was surprised at one point kind of recently, that some changes were made. There is constant low level music in the background I find quite distracting. Drives me crazy. And the new choice of sound effects and music is awful. I don’t understand what all that screechy sound is and the harsh music. Definitely doesn’t go with Nina’s demeanor and beautiful voice. I feel like I’m being jarred out of my seat and find it disturbing. I love the podcast but wish you would consider ditching this new stuff and finding something less distracting and assaulting to the ears. Thanks.

Your show is a wonderful piece of work! The Life Stories you tell, your voice and the content of your episodes come together so well! Thank You Thank You Thank You !!!

I love this show! I fall asleep to it most nights, Nina has a wonderful sleepy voice!

Good balance of caring and fact-giving. Not too heavy on the former but neither is it like scandal mongering. Interesting details

Great true crime stories and a voice like “buttah”!!

I truly enjoy listening to your show. Your research is great and you have a great voice.

I’ve been hooked on true crime podcasts for years now, don’t know how I missed this one. Love Nina’s voice and exhaustive research. I’m binging right now, and am enjoying everyone of the episodes.

Great style of sharing senseless crimes. Informative and thorough.

Trustworthy, compassionate, thorough

I love the podcast and the narrator and how the stores are told. However, I much prefer the original format without music or sound effects in the background. These added noises are distracting and make it harder to pay attention to what is being said.

Nina is awesome!!!! I love how she covers recent and long ago cases. She shows compassion and empathy that is missing from some true crime podcast. Nina sticks to the task at hand, no rambling about her personal life. Every case has its spotlight and the focus is true on the victims.

Love your podcast,very well done I could listen all day while working

I love listening to this podcast: the depth of exploration of all involved is excellent and I’ve especially enjoyed the multi-episode crimes. However, the recent addition of background music distracts from the story and Nina’s great narration. I much preferred older episodes where it was just Nina describing the crime.

Highly recommended! This is my favorite podcast. As a Michigander, living in the Metro Detroit area, I appreciate how Nina accurately describes the setting, crimes, recent updates to the cases, etc. all while showing the upmost respect for the victims and their families. Thank you for highlighting cases from my hometown and the Great Lakes Region. I look forward to each podcast!

I love this Podcast. I love Nina’s soothing voice and she’s such a great narrator. Nina’s compassion and big heart are evident in each and every episode. They are so well done! Thank you so much for all your hard work and bringing this podcast to life. 💕
