I just listened to this episode and I am so impressed with the way it was covered. I'm glad I've finally found a true crime podcast that gives their opinions in an honest manner! I know you guys are currently on a break, which makes me incredibly sad because I just learned of this podcast. But I will be binging the rest of the episodes while I have a break from school. I'm a fellow Texan, and I believe I may even be local to you guys by the descriptions of roads mentioned in this episode, so I feel like I have found my people. I hope things get better soon and the additional stress subsides soon. Not only for the sake of the podcast, but for the sake of you guys' wellbeing. Y'all have a new fan!
Pronounce your L's.
Jasmine behaves like a mini Brit P (Crime junkies) with her useless oohing and aahing side comments; sometimes they talk over each other or Megan speeds up all of a sudden until she becomes unintelligible.
I will continue to listen to sideline sleuths I'm on episode 1. I feel like the main host just talk a little 2 fast...
No, Oklahoma doesn't have to best education system, but you can't act like everyone in the entire state is stuipd. Your attitude and comments don't make yourselves look good, and further more, make me uninterested in the entire episode.
