Could’ve been an interesting story if presented better. It needed another host that new how to professionally speak and communicate. The host kept mispronouncing Louisville and his delivery was a sleep inducing monotone.

Very compelling story, and the storytellers recognize and protect the dignity of the very many victims. I’d subtract only half a star because the music is strangely inappropriate at pivotal, poignant moments—when you’d expect a cello or a piano, there’s a dippy clarinet or oboe.

Well written, clear and concise presentation.

I am so glad I decided to binge this podcast, very well done and so very sad for all people involved!! I loved it and I would recommend this podcast to anyone that likes true crime!

This podcast has absolutely fascinated me. It is so well paced and presented that it’s difficult for me to set it aside. I’ve listened to many podcasts about killers and the fact that I’d never heard of Ed Edwards just blows me away. I also now follow Matthew Dear’s music. It’s wonderful! I’m currently watching the documentary “It Was Him…” simply so I can put some faces to the names in your podcast. I’m completely hooked on following whatever murders may be cleared up in connection with that monster. Thank you for allowing me to be aware of him.

Will be checking out other pods by this team. Really well done.

In a market saturated with true crime podcasts, unique ones can be hard to find and GOOD unique ones like unicorns. Meet your unicorn! An abused daughter discovers as an adult her father is a serial killer and sets about trying to solve his cases and get closure for the victims’ families. On its surface, that’s what this podcast is about. Look deeper and you’ll see it’s how human beings cope with trauma and make sense of a senseless world. The way murder has impacted the lives of those affected by it is something glossed over in too much of true crime and this unflinching look, particularly how the daughter of a serial killer bonds with the families of her father’s victims and suspected victims and they move forward, is extraordinary. The reporting throughout is quite good and we’re not just left with more information about a killer and how they work but how those left behind pick up the pieces.

I don’t often write reviews for podcasts, but I also don’t binge listen or cry during them either. I found this podcast on Sunday and was finished with it by Sunday. I give the biggest credit to April for doing the right thing. The last episode had me in tears listening to a father describe his son and what was lost. The fact that the two have gotten along so well is spectacular. Great job to the whole team on this series!

Everything about this podcast was excellent. Bring us more like this Josh Dean!!!!

This is one of the best true crime podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I am sad that I finished it. I wish they would do another. Very well put together.

These people that do the podcasts are trying to hard and need to talk a little slower and stop enunciating so much .

This whole case is so complex but it’s very well put together. It definitely challenges you to think very hard about all the elements of a major crime and those intimately involved. Quite fascinating. Nicely done!

The podcast deftly balances the pain and struggles of all those involved—culprits, victims, victims’ families, investigators, journalists, and April. There is much of value to be contemplated in everyone’s stories. The podcast, while thorough and detailed, does not seem exploitive. Even Edwards is humanized, which makes his role in all these lives more desperately awful.

Currently on the 4th episode. Wondering how retired Detective Cameron was a detective at all? Maybe some of his old cases need to be looked into. Outrageous leaps and very illogical. good lord…

I cannot express how much I admire this woman. This podcast made me cry and made me laugh. The family members of the victims and this amazing woman far outshined, in love and light, what the dark and evil E. perpetuated on innocent people. This podcast was done beautifully and the narration and sequencing was superb. Thank you.

First of all, I love Josh’s voice. I love this podcast and wish there was more or more seasons!

I’ve been listening to true crime podcasts for several years now and I’m typically a pretty harsh critic when it comes to the way a story, with such sensitive content, is told. I’m honestly at a loss for words with this one. Such a work of art and will forever be in my top 10 favorites.

The story is incredible. The storytelling is incredible. The production quality is incredible. I only wish that I could go back and listen to this podcast again for the very first time, over and again over.

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts. This one stands out. So well done and riveting without being misleading or glamorizing.

What is the music at the of the podcast? I really like the song. Great podcast! Its crazy why people used to get away with before technology. People still get away with things but hopefully not as crazy as this

I am a fan of podcasts but honestly this one is a podcast I would share with those that do not understand podcasts because it is so well formulated and well thought out. I deeply enjoy the level of information and detail and the story telling that ties everything up neatly.

Highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in true crime. Curious why it’s moving to Spotify exclusively.

Such a heartbreaking story but also very lovely. Absolutely loved the ending! 🥺❤️

Beautifully produced! Hard, well told story. The last scene could not have been more perfect and poignant. A lot of courageous people represented here.

Love the show sad it’s going to Spotify, I won’t be following. Really not a fan of the platform.

Totally blown away, listened to this podcast in one day. April seems like such a genuine, sweet, empathetic woman; I’m touched by her existence. She always seems so warm with great manners when meeting anyone. Ugh what a woman! My heart aches for her, she is a hero for trying to get real answers for victims of her father

I was riveted by this podcast and it stayed with me long after I stopped listening. April is an amazing human.

I listen to many podcasts involving serial killers. This is the first one that was done so skillfully with thought, compassion and realism. It touched me in many different ways. I’m grateful!

Incredible true story!

When it ended I had chills. Healing happens ❤️

Started this podcast not realizing it had ties to Wisconsin and the Concord House, where I too have been for a wedding. So well told! I especially loved the very end with April and Tim’s dad. It was so sweet and brought a tear to my eye. I hope they are both a little more at peace. Would love to hear more from you all.

I stumbled on this podcast on accident and I live in Watertown, WI where April lived at one time! Mind blown!

I’m always skeptical about podcasts just as a general rule, that being said; this one is like a little diamond that I was kicking around all I had to do was look at what I was kicking. I was trying to get my brother interested in a tv show and he countered with this, a truly excellent podcast!

Well done. I hope it helped April come to some healing. What a brave woman!

Very well done podcast! Great story and it flows very well. Interesting story about Edward Wayne Edwards, who knows how many victims he had. Similar to Israel Keyes yet very different personalities. I thought it was crazy the way he tried to set other people up to take the blame.

I am so glad that April has found some peace! Excellent job reporting by Josh. 5 ⭐️!

Excellent investigation. Lots of integrity. I appreciate the narration and tone too- it is not sensationalized and rather his journalism style treats everyone with caution and care and thorough deliverables from thorough investigative thinking. I wish there were more crime podcasts like this!

I could not wait till the next episode!! Great job!! Stephanie Texas

I just found your podcast yesterday and couldn’t put it down. Amazing job!

Great series, you can hear the passion from everyone. This wasn’t about Edwards, it was about people. Fantastic.

I love the storytelling! And, fantastic host. It’s one of my new favorites.

Not a bad listen. Too bad you can’t leave your disdain for “fringe” radio out. You probably believe Biden actually won the election

I listened to the entire season just because I like true crime. About 3 episodes in I knew it was going to be difficult to finish because the storytelling is just not there. The story is great, but (as mentioned by others) the arc is weak, the narrator’s tone doesn’t invite you to stay, at times I was bothered by the joking, and by episode 5, I was super annoyed by the jingle! It’s a crime podcast and the jingle sounds like something for a morning telenovela. Bad choice in music throughout, IMO. Not something I would recommend to a hardcore true-crime-fan.

Lots of better crime podcasts out there. This one suffers from the narrator’s persistent downward inflection and monotone drone, which made it very frustrating for me to listen to. And the entire series arc is severely lacking in suspense, making it ultimately pretty boring and dull.

This is the perfect true crime series. Some of my issues with other true crime podcasts are that they tend to be drawn out and repetitive, or spend entire episodes on minute details just to get more episodes in and become boring as a result, but the pacing in this podcast is great and every episode is engaging. I also find that a lot of the investigators/hosts in other true crime podcast come across as pretentious, like they’re doing the world a favor by exploring these cold cases. This host isn’t like that at all, he’s both entertaining and empathetic to April as well as the victims.

It’s a really good podcast, that’s my only issue. I understand everyone needs to make money but, too much advertising is crammed in. I read other reviews and I disagree about the narrator. He’s fine. I will listen to the rest but, I’m not going to Spotify to finish it because, Spotify takes advantage of artists.

For once I wasn’t disappointed about events not wrapping up perfectly because that’s not how life works. In every episode I was hooked by the storytelling. I love the introduction of new voices throughout. Very well done!

This show is so bingeable, but also great for just an episode. The stories are narrated in a way that makes it easy to follow, even if you have to come back to it later. Professional, but not super dry. Honestly, a great listen.

I think this podcast started out promisingly but I cannot get into it. I’m four episodes in and I’m not invested. I don’t really care about what happens next. I don’t think the host is very engaging and I don’t think the story is told well. I find myself very bored while listening. It’s too bad because I think the story is important.

This podcast does a wonderful job of telling a true crime story without any of that shock factor so many of them seem to have. They aren’t trying to scare or gross out their audience, thank you! The story is fascinating, it doesn’t need to be camped up. It takes you on a journey exploring Edward Wayne Edwards’ crimes, his impact on victims family and his daughter’s journey of discovery and I think, some healing.
