Love this podcast but...

I do enjoy this podcast but I hate how much they cuss. I just feel like so much of the cussing is very unnecessary. That's really my only con. Other than that, it's a unique idea behind the podcast.

BREAKING: OG Firstie drops first Audible review

You see it on the news, you see it on the paper, you see it on Facebook…This is the kind of podcast that is supposed to happen in movies, not in real life.

As I write this review I’m sitting very far away from Jan Vanek, very far from Alexis Linkletter, and even further from Slenderman (Billy Jensen). (That is because I live in KY.)

And in case you were wondering…today is National Microwave Day.

First things first, there is no cooked fruit in this review. You’re welcome, Alexis.

I’ve been listening to the true crime podcast that you might end up on since day 1 and The First Degree continues to slay. The group banter is funny, witty, clever, and relatable. I feel like I’m low key Alexis on the inside, but act like Jac on the outside. And Billy is my awkward but cool step-dad.

The stories put the victims first, include the right amount of detail, and are unique (for the most part) from other podcasts.

If you haven’t heard any of this podcast yet, start from the beginning. The episodes don’t necessarily have to be listened to in order, but the production and polish on the show have grown along the way. Great work. I blame Jared.

Well that’s enough of that… let’s turn down the lights and turn up your anxiety. Because enjoying this podcast…could be you.

After you’ve Killed Some Time reading this review, be sure to…
-go buy some merch from the First Degree merch store
-order your grub from Daily Harvest
-buy your designer duds from The Real Real
-obsess over playing Best Fiends
-bundle your policies with Geico
-express yourself this holiday with the best styles and gifts from Express
-go set up your SimpliSafe in about 30 minutes (even Jac was able to do it)
-join The First Degree Facebook group where we are talking true crime all the time

Thank you for reading this review of a Podcast One Production,
-Leah (your first degree reviewer)

P.S.
Only you can prevent serial killers.
Keep your friends close, but not that close.
P.S.S. Happy national microwave day.

Touching Story

I really enjoyed this episode. I feel for this man and completely agree that our leaders in Texas need to push getting rid of old laws that are written because of parties.

I just can’t anymore

I really wanted to enjoy this podcast because I enjoy true crime and I like the premise of focusing on someone who is connected to the crime in some way. I listened to at least a year’s worth of episodes, and but unfortunately the mispronunciations and misuse of words, phrases and metaphors just drives me insane and I can’t listen anymore. It seems to be getting worse as time goes on. The podcast seems to have decent writing, but it often sounds like it’s being seen by Alexis and Jac for the first time at the time of recording, as if they’ve only been briefed on the content but have not rehearsed. I won’t give it any more of my time. I’m grateful that I won’t have to hear, “As ALWAYS our first degree is ALWAYS our largest source,” again.

I am trying to figure out how to delete this

non crime series from my Audible account. Nothing about crime, and two girls one boy was a bad idea to begin with.

horrible podcast-- cackling women, constantly off topic. Nothing good hard to listen to. Can't get through a full episode.
