• Lack of Variety in Hosting Style: Although Charlie Spicer’s storytelling skills are praised, a few listeners have expressed a desire for occasional guest hosts or different perspectives to bring a fresh dynamic to the podcast.
• Insufficient Background Information: A few critics have mentioned that certain episodes assume prior knowledge of the cases or lack in-depth explanations, making it challenging for newcomers or those unfamiliar with the specific cases to fully grasp the context.
• Repetitive Themes: A small segment of the audience has pointed out that certain themes or case elements tend to recur in multiple episodes, leading to a sense of repetition.
