    I love the show, hate the commercials.
    This has become one of my favorite shows of all time,you can’t create content fast enough for me, only issue I really have is one some others have mentioned before and is The disparity of volume between the show and commercials. When a commercial starts,the volume goes up and I have to turn it down, this is a constant and I don’t think I have this issue with others shoes, please FIX IT.

    WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?
    Great content, volume issues. Please correct the difference in volume between content and ads. Audio clips are at different volumes at times too. My eardrums would really appreciate it

    Too much Diddy.
    More often than not, I enjoy this podcast. If I don’t like an episode, I just skip it. However, I’ve had to skip every episode for the last week or more. I’m sick of the Diddy stuff. I understand it’s a big case, but do you have to make every. single. episode. about it? lots of other cases/crimes happening that could be discussed. I want to hear about those.
  • Rae NyC123
    Fascinating
    I really enjoy the breakdown in cases in the media. Truly looks at the law and how each side can navigate through charges.
  • ErinnBogen
    Loved it until recently
    I’ve been a big fan of L&C for a long time and loved this podcast. It gives you all the good points, sees both sides and the experts are great. I understand the Diddy case is a huge deal, it’s tragic and deserves attention. That being said almost every single episode recently has been about that while there are other large cases that attention could be brought to!

    A good dose of law
    Appreciate this podcast - I like the host, his questions, the guests and how he presents the information. Jesse recaps cases very well - I feel caught up on current crime stories.
  • LaughingSoHappy
    Audio is awful
    Love the show on youtube but the audio on this podcast version makes it unlistenable. Even if I turn my volume all the up, it is hard to hear. I am only leaving this poor review in the hopes that this issue will be resolved. Good luck!

    Great parenting, so good to see it continues.

    Good Content- Hard to Listen to
    The volume mix is terrible. Jesse’s voice is so quiet, then ads will blare, then other clips might be at a completely different volume. Makes it impossible to listen to this without being able to manually adjust the volume throughout the podcast. Great content though when I can listen. Hope this can be fixed.

    Chris Watts
    New follower here after listening to the Chris watts episode. The two speakers they had today were really good, I enjoyed listening but I wanted to share a couple of things with you guys about CW. My son was in prison with him and he says that CW is heavily guarded at all times. My song said he was rounding a corner and he literally bumped into CW. First of he said CW was a very small guy. He exited him to be bigger but my sone is 6’1”. He said the time he bumped into him he just felt his blood start boiling and CW and the CO quickly moved around. What stuck with me is he said make no mistake, someone will give him what he’s got coming. It’s possible that we could see some prison justice. Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. thanks guys, great show and I look forward to hearing more.

    VP Vegan Patriot hits women
    It’s never mentioned that VP’s car is beeping while she backs up! Audio warning that there is something in the back up camera area 🤦‍♀️
  • listener12777
    Please fix the volume
    So difficult to hear this podcast I have to turn my volume all the way up to get blasted by the ads..
  • Shccid
    WHY IS DIDDY GETTING MORE COVERAGE THAN TRUMP
    also fix your add volumes dog
  • Ads level vol.
    Volume off balance, either can’t hear or ads are SO FREAKING LOUD
    PLEASE FIX THE OUTRAGEOUSLY LOUD AD VOLUME! Or either the host etc volume is sooo low … fix please! Only flaw. But such an important one!!!
  • brooklynmuse79
    Hot mic
    Dude—your mic is hot. Lower the master volume on your mic.
  • W4gm
    HORRIBLY Mixed
    Listen with caution and your fingers on your volume control. The main show is so quiet you have to turn all the way up (and sometimes you still can’t hear) and then an ad at full blast will crash through. Take a second and set these levels. Come on post production
  • Little Hapa Girl
    Fix the ad volumes!
    Love this podcast but don’t appreciate the sudden blaring level of the ads. Really. Can’t the level of the ads match the volume level of the podcast? It would certainly be appreciated.
  • Rachelhstar

    FROM: A New Listener; my Evaluation
    Love this informative law (case study) breakdown kind of podcast. On that note, while this podcast, host presentation, & all topics are 100% superb, the host & some of his legal guests seem to loose objectivity regarding cases involving high school aged minors & improper relations w an adult or teacher. The host stated on a podcast about female teacher having sex with a male student that predators come in all genders & those males are traumatized victims. Imo, this is an example of how emotional, media hysteria since the late 90s has killed ‘objective reason. It has put these kinds of laws on steroids to such a degree that a true victim of violent or coerced SA shld feel slapped in the face; bc sentences now tie the hands of judges to MMS w/o regard to ‘harm done’, or ‘intent’: but only if you haven’t blown out 18 candles, so a victim who is 18 + who has permanent injuries from a violent assault, torture, or SA can’t be assured their assailant will receive anything close if they had been coerced (threatened), manipulated, or an violent SA’d, no punishment similar to those under the age, who simply had a relationship that wld be completely legal with someone more than 3 or 4 yrs older, some states only one or two years older, & in a relationship that was completely normal had she not been 14-17. Secondly, D.C. Activist group-lobbyist funded research is tainted intentionally to cont conditioning the public that if you haven’t blown out 18 candles you’re a ignorant sheep in mind & a perpetual victim. Actually, research shows only 5% of male teen minors who slept w a female teacher or adult later feel any trauma towards it. Also, surely there’s a standard deviation lowering that 5%, knowing we all constantly hear ‘no, you are a victim too’. Really..? So, this fantasy of most every H.S. Aged teen Male, that gets em high fives in the locker room if they brag about it, should be considered the same as what a woman or male goes thru getting violently beaten & forcibly SA’d? I believe the harshest penalties should be reserved for that & all violent bodily injury crimes that leave permanent wounds. How is a victim of getting locked up & tortured gonna feel ‘justice’ when her perpetrator has NO mandatory minimum which a judge has to give, no consecutive mandatory sentence..simply bc the victim has blown out 18 candles on a birthday cake..as if the same pain can’t be as great as if he or she were 17? Sentencing should be based on sadistic intent, reckless indifference to endangerment & harm done to a victim, not this ageist philosophy. This is the logic I’m not hearing from the lawyer host of 27 yrs, & literally that’s kinda scary, no offense to him, bc it’s wide spread among many in the legal field. I wanna hear disgust from the host an legal guest as to how & why Gis Maxwell can’t face her accusers according to the constitution..seriously…simply bc they were teens? These same teens can and are tried as adults in many cases. This ‘mature minor’ philosophy is what’s called ‘rule of 7s’..going back to law prior to our constitution. Such a philosophy was always in place in all 50 states until the late 90s. 14 yr olds have always been considered different than little kids..until recent times when one can’t consent & even a bare picture of them is considered worse than murder itself..but totally normal in a relationship if she were 18. So its until the spell is lifted by simply blowing out 18 candles then? Yes, at which point, all in one day one goes from not being able to consent to a normal one on one relationship to being able to do that, plus you can strip in a gang infested dangerous club & somehow you are immune to all that REAL DANGER, plus an ‘only fans’ account, meeting up with real perverts online simply bc you’re 18, it’s all good? I’m not advocating that under age & adults should at all be legal, but all statutory offenses (but this particular one) start from minimal penalties & increase by intent, endangerment or abuse..Certainly, pre teens should be in a different catagory than teens, which is where I’m drawing lines. One must remember, the father of IQ testing said that 14 year olds tested on adult levels. However, this doesn’t support the emotional based laws & sensationalized narrative, does it

    Volume is Broken
    I’ve listened to this podcast since they were new, but something happened to the volume some time back, and they have yet to fix it, despite many other reviews stating the same. The volume has to be turned all the way up to hear the podcast (this one specifically, other podcasts are fine). While you have it turned up, the ads cut in and hit you full blast, right in the earbuds. It makes it hard to listen to, no matter how good the content is.

    Sound effects?
    Why the strange sound effects? It doesn’t add anything!
  • hopefulhobo
    Volume only negative!
    I learn a lot from the show and appreciate how delicate issues are handled-but please FIX THE VOLUME!!!
  • Cellfish2010
    Audio levels are too low
    Please fix the audio levels on the podcast. I have the volume set all the way to max on my phone and I can barely hear the podcast, but oh my goodness I certainly hear the ads. I can barely hear the content of what you’re trying to broadcast. PLEASE FIX THE AUDIO LEVEL!! it will likely not be fixed because no one ever reads the reviews anyway.
  • Falmouse1
    Fix the audio
    The volume has to be turned all the way up to barely hear the podcast and then the ads come on and blast! Please fix the volume or at least make the podcast and ads match.
  • cms.mbg

  • Ree ree ree

  • leanneh333
    Sound issue
    Please fix the sound issue! I literally have the volume up to max and still have a hard time hearing what some are saying!!
  • carol seaver
    For the love of God, hire an audio engineer
    This podcast is good but the sound is SO bad. It’s playing at near mute levels, and when the next podcast in my queue plays, it’s deafening levels of loud. I hate it, use some of that ad money on fixing the audio.
  • CheyCiara
    Love the Podcast-HATE the audio quality!
    Please hire a qualified sound engineer!! I have to turn the volume way up to hear interviews but then the ad comes on and it absolutely blasts my eardrums! The audio quality sounds completely amateur and that is disappointing. Do better please!
  • ChrisKutha
    Audio Problems
    I love all the work done at Law and Crime but most of the time it is so hard to hear Jesse and his guest without having to turn the volume all the way up. Hopefully they’re able to sort out this audio issue.
  • bobcat6977
    Love this
    Host has a voice which is very powerful and I love the crimes covered, and follow ups.
  • JenniinNC
    Audio issues
    I love the content but the audio makes it difficult to enjoy listening. The audio is low and muffled except for the adds.
  • EG.ME4ME
    Audio sound
    Great podcast but audio is always so quiet and commercials pop on (way too often) & are so loud! Please fix audio. Less or better quality ads would be great too.
  • Photographer93747282910
    Please fix the volume!
    I love this show, but someone please hire and audio engineer. The volume is all over the place and making it difficult to keep listening. Some clips are barely audible, so you turn up the volume. Then the host comes back on and absolutely blasts your eardrums. The ads are so loud it’s actually painful
  • Cdubbsftw
    Fantastic show, but ads are torture!
    I have always LOVED this show and the hosts are phenomenal. But lately the ads are literally torture and are making one of my favorite podcasts borderline unlistenable!!!!! Please 🙏 please 🙏 please stop with the ads every 30 seconds busting through conversations mid sentence. It’s a 10-15 minute episode with like 8 full intrusive ads in each, ugggggh!
  • tabbytoes1204
    Good podcast
    Very well researched and thorough layout. I appreciate the updates.
  • toshij
    Love the show!
    The November 21, 2023 show is great! Jesse’s got the guest in the corner! I love it! There’s no way he hasn’t done the crime. Hyundai, dna come on lady…

    Attacking Alex Jones to fit agendas
    Biased liberal far left propaganda. Host attacked Alex Jones for no reason. Embarrassing.
  • 2020BHC
    Trash
    makes excuses for yt criminals and demonizes minorities. not worth the listen. Go watch paint dry instead.
  • IP Jerome
    Great News
    I like the news that goes around the world!!!
  • cobeans03
    Grand Jury
    Great podcast but FYI…grand juries are always secret. While we may know that a case is going before a grand jury, we never know when. It concerned me that you might have implied that the state was acting improperly, in making it secret. It was all legal.
  • Hogs Win
    Enjoying but a request
    I enjoy the content and the editing but a request: please less of the “whoosh” sound effects between clips. The volume of these sounds are louder than the regular audio and are disrupting to the content. As someone that listens on earbuds it can be really uncomfortable in the listening experience.
  • RMyersPhoto
    Angenette Levy!
    I especially enjoy watching Sidebar on YouTube. Angenette is an intelligent, curious, compassionate, fair and honest journalist. She’s listed here as a guest but she’s a co-host with Jesse Weber, who is also doing great work! I’d like to see Angenette in longer format stories as well.
  • Sjeckers
    Definitely Not Mormon
    Describing these two individuals as Mormon is like calling Ted Bundy a Catholic. Please be more careful with the language used in your reporting.
  • Keeblizzle
    How?
    How am I just now discovering this podcast? I am an avid podcast listener, I have them on while I work, run, workout, clean etc… so why haven’t I hear of this gem before? It’s fantastic! I’m extremely critical of podcaster voices and cadence, this one is so perfect on all levels! No biases, just facts… only thing I would change is the length… I would love to hear longer episodes so I’m not constantly having to stop what I’m doing to change the episode. A+
