    Can’t get the most basic facts right
    Yikes. This show needs better researchers. On the episode about the Sims family murders the piece gets so much wrong. It’s like they didn’t even use Google. It was a one story house not two. There are plenty of photos. The daughter called a funeral home for help - it’s in every piece online about the case. Shockingly sloppy.

    Left Wing Propaganda
    This show clearly has an agenda, and it’s NOT to talk true crime. They spend most of the time shoving liberal ideas down your throat. From the importance of a woman’s right to murder her unborn child to the wonders of communism to how Republicans are like Nazis, they’ve got it all. Glad they are heading to Spotify, good riddance!

    Great stories but the commercials!!!
    I have been seeking a true crime podcast to replace Canadian True Crime as I am all caught up and broken-hearted! Looking for the right method of telling the story as well as of course the voice of the podcaster. Hast been easy but I think this it! I love the idea and the stories she chooses are unique and interesting. But OMIGOD the commercials 🤮. Same commercial about waxing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And two, yes two, in EVERY. SINGLE. PODCAST. Girl these podcasts are only 15 minutes you gotta fix that and quick!

    July 27 & 28, 2021
    Shame! Shame! Shame! You really messed up and did a great disservice to the memory of Brandon Walsh by omitting him. You mistakenly gave the story for July 28 on July 27, and then repeated the same podcast the next day. Shame shame shame. You should have broadcast the one for Brandon Walsh on July 28, with a note that it was delayed. Shame shame shame!

    USA bad all the time. White man bad all the time. No need to listen to this podcast. I just summed it up for you.

    Your show title 07-27-27 The abduction of Adam Walsh plus the a show for 07-28-21!
    Is there something wrong with your link or my Apple phone? When I click on the show titled July 27 … The Abduction of Adam Walsh, it plays the Show for July 28 which is about a jewel heist? Can you check it out? The issue is only on the Apple podcast list. My thought is you won’t fix the issue since you are moving to. Spotify. Too bad. I can’t listen to you at work on lunch anymore since my Spotify can’t connect at work.

    Good Stories Bad Comercials
    The fact that they can only get the bikini wax and comercials regarding what you do in the bathroom are seriously annoying. Every day the bikini wax comercials! It's getting to the point I'm going to stop listening. The stories however are good.

    Less story, more ads… bye.
    Have listened to this podcast from day one. It has gone from a “must” to a “bust” with gradually more and more ads and less content over the last year, and the coming move to Spotify. It’s disappointing that Parcast is “excited to announce” their move to Spotify away from the platform and listeners that built its popularity. The move has to be about gathering more user data, profits, and ad revenue. I won't be following y’all there. Thanks for the entertainment over the years. Good bye.

    Could be much better
    Between the credits and ads, each episode is almost nothing more that a short newspaper article. And, seriously? These bikini wax ads aimed toward women as “self care” are ridiculously stupid. Am unsubscribing.
  • DMangs
    Way too many ads
    I do enjoy the stories, but it seems like there are more ads than content.

    RIP John B. Anderson, they finally got the Bosnian Butcher! Too bad he wasn’t hung by piano wire as we had hoped! ❤️

    Good bye 👋
    Won’t be moving to Spotify. Thanks for screwing your listeners

    Goodbye
    Although I have enjoyed listening to this podcast over the last year, I will no longer be subscribed once it’s moved to a single podcast provider. I refuse to add so many apps to my phone to listen to podcast, I prefer one location. Also the amount of ads on this web far exceed the actual storyline. Too bad as it’s a good show, just not worth the investment of time.
  • Dr. Donk
    Too much alliteration / not live
    I like the concept, but the writing is just too cutesy for a “true crime” show that has a disclaimer at the beginning…
  • Irishgypsy88
    Lost a listener
    I have been enjoying this podcast since day 1. Now you are moving to Spotify only. While I do have that app, I largely stick to Apple Podcasts as it’s just easier to stay in one place (I also have issues with Spotify, but that’s not the point). You will have lost a listener when that move happens. I used to listen to several others that have gone over there, but no longer. I guess eventually I won’t have any Parcast podcasts to listen to anymore. Not that you really care if I no longer listen, but I just wanted you to know.

    Decent
    I really do enjoy the history of these podcast, but they are at least 40% commercials, which wouldn’t be so noticeable but they usually only range from 10-15 mins so just seems excessive.

  • Cali Girli
    Too short & too many ads
    Why even have a podcast if they’re just a 15 minute show chocked full of ads!?!? WHAT A JOKE!!! Perhaps you should only stick to blogging because this ain’t it!!! A H A R D P A S S *unsubscribed & deleted!!!* ❌❌❌

    Interesting stories but way too many ads for a fifteen minute show.

    February 26, 2021 episode
    You mean to tell me that everyone involved from writers to producers and presenters don’t know the difference between hung and hanged? Haha
  • ChiliBean321
    Interesting
    Great show; look forward to my daily fix of crime facts from Vanessa. But please get rid of the woman who does the commercials. Her high nasal voice is super annoying.

    Do better
    Stick to crime
  • WindyCityMusic
    Ugh.
    I was so excited for this podcast concept but all these “par-cast network shows” are super short and 50-75% of the “show” is just the beginning and ending credits. Not worth the listen.
  • dispatcherdi
    Roe vs Wade is a “True Crime?”
    So an abortion court case is now a true crime? No,it’s not. Maybe your podcast should be called “True Politics,”not “True Crime”. I know it’s super important to you to appear super woke and all, but crime is crime, and abortion legislation is not .

    Biased Reporters
    Can your reporters possibly do a podcast without injecting their opinions into the story? The name of your podcast is “This Day In History.” I don’t see “.....and my opinion” added to your title.
  • deckerhad
    Likes till it got to Political and opinionated
    When this podcast first came out I loved it. At some point it got very political and it says sticking to crime they went to giving their opinions on things. At first it wasn’t often, but then it became almost every episode their opinions were given if it went back to the sticking to the crime and leaving their opinions out of it I would get another listen and better review rating
  • Still Pixilated
    It used to be one of my favorite podcasts
    After the Monica Lewinsky episode, I unsubscribed. Bill Clinton is not the victim in that story. I used to love this podcast because it seemed like it was the unbiased re-telling or true crime stories, but that seems to have changed as of late.

    Good
    At times seems more politically leaning to the left rather than staying neutral.

    Like Coffee
    Every morning I have a cup of coffee. One cup. And, every morning when I put my EarPods where they belong (now, now), my first listen is to Today in True Crime. Despite the fact that I'm not enthusiastic about every episode, I enjoy your familiar voice as well as your appropriate modulation and I'm a sincere fan.
  • poiimmnhggvfdcxxeghmmmm
    Unfortunately too many commercials
    Content is interesting. Voice of female narrator pleasant. Just too many darn commercials that I find disruptive to podcast.
  • kristenhello
    In desperate need of historical context
    The South African pieces are shocking in the lack of understanding of historical context. Whoever wrote these pieces needs to study history so it is not repeated. Absurd and sloppy, lazy at best
  • KateriLeigh
    Ugh
    Papa John's?? Jimmy John's?? Nope, sorry, can't subscribe.
  • OzrikKnob
    It’s and advertisement masquerading as a podcast.
    I liked it early on, but over time it’s become more ads than substance.
  • Mainer1975
    Charles Manson
    Your episode today had inaccurate info. Manson was actually born on Nov 12th, not the 11th. A New York Times article written regarding his death even mentions this. All of his biographies imply that his he was born on the 12th. Misinformation regarding the 11th has been debunked.

    If I killed someone
    I will put them in a feld full of dry dead grass! My victims will be tied up except for one arm They can press a button that will set the feld on fire 🔥 the longer they don’t press the button the more toes I make the other victims bite off and swallow!
  • kayferguson13
    Too short
    Done before you blink....with lots of commercials in the middle.

    Ideologically driven leftist bs
    To compare apartheid era South Africa to the situation in the US with leftist mobs burning down (also black) businesses supposedly in the name of equality is a great disservice to the actual victims of racism in the former country.
  • Hejdkdndn
    Clarence Thomas
    Clarence Thomas episode was horrendous. Assuming guilt in the Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh cases and saying progress has not been made. Apparently it bears repeating, no corroborating evidence was found. Ridiculous.
  • Littlewardle
    pro leftist garbage
    I’ve listened to this podcast since it started, and at first I’ve been really happy with it. However, the host is getting more and more political. In the Epstein episode, no mention of bill clinton and this latest episode, the host actually said “communist peace summit”. 🤯🤯. I have no idea what history the host is referencing now. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Update: How in the &)@/ is justice Clarence Thomas a true crime story???? Oh, he’s republican.

    You make a point of say he is black you make a point over and over but you don’t make a point the men with guns are black?
  • Nanadx3
    Always interesting
    I enjoy the way all of the facts are given. The way the stories are told in such a way that it keeps your constant attention.
  • ACarr86
    Great Daily Lesson
    I love all of the history I’m soaking up! Also, is the narrator also the narrator for the K12 online school? I swear it is!

    Editing Mistakes Abound
    I was so excited for this podcast. I mean: a daily dose of Vanessa’s narration and True Crime...yes, please! It started off strong, but the editing has gone downhill. The episode on John Wilkes Booth kept starting over halfway through and the episode on the Amana hotel murders (9/11/2020) was a mess. The host says the murders happened on September 13, 1980 (the correct date), September 13, 2020 (today’s date) and September 13, 1930 (no idea where that came from). This should’ve been caught before releasing the episode, y’all. Come on. Those are just two obvious issues. This pod is such a cool idea. Bring the editing up to the quality level of the other Parcast pods, and you guys will be set!
  • jlejlar
    So so
    Been a long time listener, but am tired of military history being touted as criminal history. Quit using topics that have nothing to do with the definition of true crime and find actual events that should be remembered like assassinated victims (you missed a big one with Benazir Bhutto).
  • Love the birds!
    Used to be good
    There is a very clear political slant going on these days, and, aside from that - the show is called “True Crime,” and I feel like there’s less and less stories about crime. (Which, I guess it would be hard to keep this daily format up over multiple years and not repeat).
  • rosallea
    Fascinating and necessary
    I live the stories and agree with the truths reached through serious investigation. It becomes so tiresome to read such ignorant responses by the close minded people who think in limited dimensions about every social concept and fail to grasp the historical and evolving meanings and the possibilities going forward. Before understanding the complexity and intention they are so eager to stereotype and fire their verbal dribble calling others leftist (so stupid) or progressives as though it’s a dirty word. And of note, it is only these paranoid, closed minded people who do all the name calling while they cannot put forth a coherent idea or stream of logic that makes any sense or has a no factual basis. Fox Entertainment has been so deleterious to our country. It is nit a news organization, they admit it. Wake up those of you who are so ready to attack and dismiss ideas you cannot begin to understand. Seek truth and pop your bubble , the world will be better if you invest your energy more productively My only complaint about Parcast is the constant advertising and recommending over and over new offerings. I wish I could support you more to hear less hype. And we can support you.
