It is stating I can not listen to this podcast on my phone. I do pay for the subscription. Do you know what might be causing this? Never had an issue before

The only only way one could could get get the the right right away away from from a a game game was was by

While it is understandable for a journalist to explain how they arrived at verifying information and can do so in an entertaining way, the frequent editorial opinions and emotional insertions presented in this series take it a step too far and lead to me to question much of what is being presented.

I actually got chills and nearly cried at the very end when it was indirectly linked to 9/11.

Love the detailed reporting. Even though this is not “new news” it still kept me on the edge of my seat. That’s the way you tell a great story! Loved it and will be watching for the next thing from this team. Highly recommend.

After the last episode your jaw will drop. A prime case of “do you really know your neighbors?” Congratulations on a series well done.

Great story that, perhaps unintentionally, shows the hubris of the cops. While arson is abhorrent it was hard to have much sympathy for the arrogant home owners

Very well done.

Good pod but hate the music. Like, despise. Screechy.

First true crime podcast I’ve ever listened to. Got me hooked on it. Great job!

Interesting story. Damning of the Phoenix PD without trying to be

Next time listen to a Female FBI agent. Hubris got the best of you Dude and this is on you.

After the first episode I’m rooting for the arsonist. This is a weird podcast to make.

It’s an interesting story but the presentation and lack of organization make it difficulty to listen to. Plus the normalized racism (‘they were used to ghetto crime’) without analysis is painful.

Great podcast, but the real star is the theme music! I wish there was a full song version. I crank it up!

Such a fascinating compelling pod. Can’t wait to see what they put out next!!

Was okay until they starting using Ai voice actors. Stopped listening.

This is such an interesting story but the narrator's voice is so painful I can't finish it. If you have misophonia I can't recommend it 🙉

One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. What a fantastic story, beautifully presented and the narration and interviews are top notch.

I stumbled upon this podcast on the top charts for true crime while looking for a new listen. I started with season 10, the story telling is fantastic and really draws you in to the story. Finished this season in a day. Looking forward to hearing the other seasons.

Why charge????nooooooooooooooooooi

Just started this podcast. I remember watching a forensic files episode about this years ago. I will update when I’m done listening.

Binge worthy. Finished in one day 🤣

This season finding moms killer

This hits home for me because I remember this like it was yesterday because I live in a little town near Mansfield and I remember this happening clear as day. It was a big deal here in our area because around here you don’t see murders that big happen. And I absolutely adore Collier because he was a hero to me because who at the age of 12 would have. Put their parent in jail and he did just that and I remember him on that stand and how amazingly strong he is so thank you for putting out the story.

You have to revisit the huge pieces of his life that were left out with his adoptive parents and sister. I thought I skipped an episode.

Just finished Finding Mommy’s killer. I loved the story but, it’s as if an entire episode was missing. You let us get to know Collier, become so invested, and then skip such major parts of his life. You talk to the very cold adoptive parents briefly, and never tell us anything else about how he grew up. Does he still have a relationship with them? Did he rejoin Lt. Dave’s family? Do he and his sister communicate? How was the rest of his childhood? When did he leave Ohio? How was his early adulthood ?You can’t leave us hanging on subjects you built up upon. I would’ve loved it more if we didn’t skip from cold adoptive parents to a 47 year old. That’s crazy.

For an investigative reporter, he really seems to not be able to see the nose in front of his face. If you’re trying to kill someone, you don’t shoot them with a gun in a bag, through a car seat. There’s no way you would be able to guaranteed that’s gonna kill someone. The woman claims to be Diane’s friend is all about the attention from the very beginning. Mr. Billy Corey, whatever. I mean it sounds like he wants to have the man’s child rather than actually investigative report. Why is anything he thinks or says given any value? A better podcast would be how this guy got railroaded by the people he thought were his friends.

Keeps me wanting more- simply love it!

Did not finish—details would be referred to at the very beginning of the episode that weren’t covered until the end of it, and not in a suspenseful way. A good example is when they’re talking about the memorial service at the start of I think ep 3, and someone I wasn’t familiar with (Grover I think? He wasn’t actually introduced until later in the episode, so there was no context for who this was) said that Tex asked him to recant comments he relayed to the press. The relationship between the two and even the circumstances of the press comments weren’t established until the end of the episode. Did not set it up for digestibility as a listener. Similar issues led to me giving up on this. Two stars because the “ingredients” were there, they just didn’t put them together so the listener actually understood them.

I’m near the end of season eight and I really enjoy it. I don’t understand the nasty comments about the narrator, who I find very easy to listen to, and who has a great cadence. His personal knowledge of the actors enhances the narrative and I’m not at all put off by it; quite the opposite.

Why so much detail about things that don’t matter, has to stop listening

Deadly Fortune - a journalist who is too close to the case to present an objective podcast. A cast of friends who are far too involved and where their gossip and conspiracies are presented as fact. A drawn out story that severely needs editing down to 3-4 episodes. I cannot believe how many episodes rehash the same points.

The story is quite interesting and keeps me coming back for more. I don’t like the narrator’s delivery though. His delivery is like a tabloid read aloud. But I do enjoy the story.

Definitely needed an editor. My biggest takeaway is a distaste for the narrator, who approaches true crime with the intonation of Don Knotts and couldn’t stop absolutely *marveling* at how rich, well heeled and well connected he and his friend group are.

Host condescending presentation of anything supporting the defendant and obvious bias toward a guilty verdict make it difficult to form any informed opinion on the subject. Dissipionting listen. :(

I found the Deadly Fortune series valuable because it introduced me to a case where the Georgia Supreme Court overturned a wealthy white man’s conviction while ignoring plenty of other unjust convictions. (Not that we need further evidence of these kinds of shenanigans in this country.) While several reviews here mention the host, I don’t think it’s fair to criticize someone’s accent. I do think it’s fair to criticize someone’s condescension: It was infuriating listening to Tex’s attorney speak on the podcast and speak to the jury. I doubt he did his client any favors. I found him to be incredibly patronizing.

What a mess! I have never been more confused during the first episode of a podcast ever. It is ALL over the place. No basic synopsis or setup to what we are listening to, we are just immediately thrown into a rambling monologue of some random woman we later find out was right there during the shooting. But good lord, we ping pong around all over the place from the narrator being on top of a building at a failed political career, to being sort of introduced to about 20 people in a friend group, to a hellacious song by a cowboy? Like what is going on?

Season 9 was meh. I’ll try another season- this one had such an annoying narrator, like a literal caricature of a southern redneck, annoying intonations and all. The story was longer than it needed to be a

I usually enjoy all of The Binge’s monthly podcasts enough to finish them, but this was the exception. The victim isn’t really developed into a real person for the audience, and the suspect is painted as a shallow bigot without really exploring who he is either. The rich victim is said to have the same values as her husband/killer…who is continually quoted as being a pretty gross guy. It was just impossible to really care about such a preventable tragedy where literally everyone involved is complicit to an extent.

Had to go back several times to try and understand if I missed something? Nope. Just terrible editing and who knows what else. I couldn't get past episode 1. Delete from library.

The editing is terrible. An already slow-moving narrative is even worse when there are 10-second silent gaps interspersed in the interviews. And the audio levels of the ads way unbalanced with the rest of the show. Had to stop listening.

It’s an interesting story but there is very little new information, just the same thing over and over from different people. Could have been one episode rather than a whole season.

I feel like this is an interesting story even if the podcast jumps around at times. But I am surprised this even went to trial much less that he was convicted.

Ghetto homicides!? Not knowing how to deal with a crime because it came from “upper crust” of society!? Uhhh and just saying it like it’s normal acceptable conversation. Then y’all want to say you’re not racist. The host should have addressed that commentary. Not countering back means you agree.

This primary purpose of this podcast appears to be to offer the host an opportunity to name drop and make sure we all know how important he is in Atlanta society, punctuated with some very cringe interviews (e.g. the cop who simply couldn’t believe that a white lawyer intentionally shot his wife because his department usually investigates “ghetto murder”)

Not investigated well. This podcast jumps all over the place with nothing more than speculation compared to facts. Podcast would’ve been better with more input from the victims of the scams but maybe they didn’t want to come forward?

Ep 5 is just a repeat of Eps 1&2. Missing the episode about the trial.

Very interesting story. Luckily, much of the content comes from interviews because the host sounds like Mr. Haney from Green Acres.

So…. No one gonna fix Episode 5? Anyone? It’s still Episode 1. I keep coming back to try and finish this series, but it still isn’t fixed. Not good.
