You guys gotta pick back up with the Feds now looking into it- Justice for Sandra

So well done. Great research. Shows respect for victim. I’ve been looking for a podcast on the Birchmore case and finally found one that isn’t just regurgitating Reddit and newspaper articles This is a must listen. Keep up the great work.

This is a great podcast, only thing that irritates me is Kirk cutting Mike off. There were so many times I was into what he was saying and he was cut off before saying anything. Or Kirk would ask him questions then cut him off.

As I was listening to the last episode of the second season, I felt the pain the host and producer felt for the job, which for now, seems like they did not accomplish after completing the season for Sandra. Giving the information of the explorer program to the audience to me, is enough of a job to be aware of this program and alert people about the damage they have caused in people’s lives. Also voicing out a voice for someone who does not have anyone in her life to do so, because of fear of repercussion from the police department, is the most noble act I could think of a stranger doing for someone they did not even know. Thank you, guys, for such a powerful two seasons, to your entire team, and please continue to voice out cases about people who cannot fight for themselves because they have dealt under mysterious circumstances. Spreading the word is what nowadays is the only way sadly, to get the police to do their job to put more attention to cases they don’t care about or think it is not important enough to keep investigating. Sadly, we live in times when netizens, YouTubers, and podcast hosts have to pay attention to a case for the police to re-open or solve a case.

I’m not usually a Barstool follower, but this is good important work. Much respect to Kirk for covering this subject matter with more respect and humanity than all the hosts out there navel-gazing about the ethics of true crime. Hope to learn more, there are so many people that die or go missing under questionable circumstances in MA who are neglected by the media. Thank you, Kirk.

Please tell me there is going to be a season 2! I have been waiting so long!!! Love this podcast!

Just started this podcast but thought I should mention it was difficult to tell where a season ends and begins without episode listings.

As a resident of the upstate of SC, I was unaware of the depth of missing people in Walhalla. Thank you for shining a light on these issues! Also - just to let you know - in SC the coroner does not need ANY medical degree yo hold the position. It is a fully elected position. I would be curious to know what the background of the Oconee County coroner actually is…

Love the story and the podcast, but when you speak, your sentences start out loud and then trail off. This makes it hard to hear, especially when listening in the car. Don’t let your voice trail off!

I love you’re pod I was just wondering when the next case is coming out?

This podcast has a lot of potential. Kirk has no shame and is not afraid to outright ask people hard questions, which is great. However, he does talk quite a bit and doesn’t always summarize. I found myself in season 1 getting a bit confused on who is who and what ties certain people have. Especially between poor recording, accents, etc., summaries would be appreciated. Season 2 started off really good. I liked the short episodes, but once the podcast turned conversational I started tuning out. This isn’t a sports recap, it’s facts regarding someone’s death. It deserves structure and thoughtfulness, not off the cuff thoughts.

Growing up in Massachusetts and studying Criminal Justice in college and hearing this podcast to study up on cases in my free time, the cases are very heart breaking. Hearing about situations like this close to my hometown and not knowing about them, hearing about girls my age or guys my age and families who suffer with these kinds of trauma and tragedies breaks my heart.

Season 1 was incredible. Season 2, was boring, uninformative, not well researched and really disappointing. Style TOTALLY shifted. Not great.

The information and data they present is jaw dropping! Great podcast that is easy to listen to.

I have loved listening to this podcast. Being from Oconee County, though, I’d love an updated episode on Faith Roach! ☺️

Love the show but just needs to let people talk and not always interrupt when they are talking. Just wait till people are done them say what you need to say. Otherwise love it.

I’m interested in the cases, but the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. The first season was good and led me into the second season. The second season is much different. There aren’t any interviews, all information about the case narrated by the host. This would be fine, however the episodes don’t seem to be written as a narrated podcast and the flow is off. There’s compelling stuff here but the delivery makes it hard to grasp and hard to get into.

He talks nonstop, he loves to listen to his own voice, his talks over his guests, repeats himself and then talks some more. A little less Kirk would be great.

Loved season 1 but season 2 makes me wonder if it was a fluke

I love this podcast! Awesome stuff.

There’s another case of suicide of a police explorer from the 70s, Sandy Beal was the girl’s name and she was from Maine I believe. There’s a podcast about her case. There needs to be more oversight or something if explorer programs are to continue because this has been an issue for way too long and too many children have paid for it.

I really enjoy this podcast and I feel like they do a thorough job on covering the cases. The reason I gave them 3 stars is because the one host is constantly talking over the other host. I try so badly to focus on what is being said but every time it’s time for a discussion it’s only one sided because the other guy can’t get a word in.

Barstool is one of my fav media outlets - but always just for sports of un serious random content consumption. When I saw that they also had a true crime podcast, I figured I would try to listen but didn’t have high expectations. Kirk - you knocked out of the park. I loved this podcast so much I can’t wait for more seasons to come out.

I love the podcast! And I love the attention you are bringing for these families!!

Please keep these stories coming. I love the layout of the pod.

Season 2 started off very interesting but now that they moved into conversational format it is sooooo boring. Not sure if I can even finish the season. No offense but we don’t need to hear your opinions, just the facts

Really like the investigative work, but hate that 2nd guy keeps getting interrupted all the time this season. But still think they are doing good work for justice.

Season 1 was great, season 2 not so much. I like the host but the other guy is obnoxious and annoying and ruins the flow of a serious podcast. Hopefully can go back to the way it was S1 or get someone else to help the host out.

The new conversational format fits Kirk’s persona really well, reminds me of the Cullen investigation and stands out from other scripted and over-produced true-crime podcasts. Great work, hope this case gets the attention it deserves.

Love love love this podcast!

That is all.

I came to this podcast from a TikTok. The investigative work is good. The story is infuriating. I’m glad some light is being brought to this case. I just wish Kirk would let the other guy talk a little more.

The case is interesting but please get a host that does not sound like he has trouble speaking. If you listen with headphones it sounds like the hosts are spitting in your ears.

Great investigative work. I love this podcast.

I have been a fan of Kirks for a few years, and have enjoyed both seasons of the case. His investigative skills are top notch. The fact he solved a murder proves it.

Kirk changed the game of investigative podcasts

Love the case! Kirk literally solved a murder in season 1. Season 2 is off to a crazy start as well. Love that there’s zero advertising so it doesn’t interrupt the show lol way to go barstool!

Season 1 solved a murder! Season 2 is us starting to heat up! Season 3 should be about the missing advertisers!

Great podcast!

Unbelievably well done by Kirk. Must listen

Must listen podcast

Kirk puts on a masterclass in detective podcasting. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Must listen

Best True Crime Podcast on the market

This podcast gives you better journalisming than you typically get from msm. Highly recommend

I love it so much I’m dying for the next 20 minutes all week every week!

This story is almost unbelievable.. Kirk does a great job telling it

Kirk Minihane steps into the true crime podcast game in a massive way. The trailer is epic!

Kirk Minihane gives hope to the populous as he brings common sense back to society. A lot of us think and live in practicality, reasonability, and civility, but felt a little hopeless to a bureaucracy that says we can’t do something. Enough is enough you can do whatever you want including solve murders and uncover systemic corruption across what are supposed to be the governing bodies there to protect us. Thanks to Kirk for speaking up and seeking justice for Sandra Birchmore may she Rest In Peace and may the millions of us Sandra Birchmores go into a better world where we have a cleaner chance to become ourselves

As good as season one. Thoughtful and compelling. Factual with great insights. Can’t wait for each episode to drop.
