Old faithful + update

Edit 3/2025: hate the post mortem episodes but love the rest. Edit 2021: Love the show but hate the ever changing volume of the commercials. Edit: May, 2019. They fixed volume and decreased amount of commercials, hooray! Moved from 4 stars to 5.

Bring back Troy Roberts

Love the older episodes
brainzmatter

Pretty good show

But one or two of the women are totally obnoxious—they YELL like they are doing a live report of a plane crash or gang shooting. It’s so jarring. It’s a program, not a newscast from the 80’s. Please put the name of the host in the description so I can avoid these women.
dipp34

Giving older episodes new titles

Why do you give older episodes new titles? For instance the episode Dark Voyage was renamed to Anchors Away. It’s like you are trying to fool the listener that it is a new episode that they haven’t heard before. 🤷
shantoocan

Sexist, glorified inaccurate facts

Peter Van Stant should be removed from this team. His sexist, chauvinistic and belittling of women is far from objective.
PDJOR

Who killed Jane Newman

Another episode in where it shows how stupid juries are!! When you think you know more then everyone else but can’t get yourself out of jury duty really says a lot!!
confused.jw

Love the Podcast Option

I’ve always been a big fan of the show, but love that I can run errands and clean house while listening.
TheDadalorian

Good Show

I’ll Pass on the commercial asking me to donate to “planned parenthood” though 🤝

Too much judgement in Hollywood Secrets

I love listening to 48 Hours but, I found this dated show hard to listen to. The fact that the victim had multiple boyfriends was raised over and over again. She was an adult, and I have a feeling that had this been recorded today, the commentary would have been less pointed.
ShaSha827

Love this show

This is the show that got me interested in true crime. The recent episode about Susan wright made me mad. “Oh she was a stripper for two months when she was 18” so obviously that means she’s not abused and didn’t kill in self defense. Then Jeff’s dad “I don’t know why this other woman is trying to save Susan. Sisterhood of the strippers I guess” he needs a reality check.
The G-Raff

Fantastic!!

48 Hours is a news staple for those of us true crime fans. Absolutely one of the best news shows in history. Really love the Post Mortem episodes, they are a wonderful edition to the episodes. I love the behind the scenes style perspective we get from those who reported on the cases. It’s obvious the 48 Hours team cares about the cases they cover.

Make work enjoyable

48hrs podcast gets me thru my graveyard shift At work.
EmilyCSBK

Insensitive

Have liked this show, but am disgusted by the El Segundo episode that just re-aired, which spotlights DA Darren Levine, a man promoting hand to hand combat techniques used by the Israeli army, which is currently perpetrating genocide and mass war crimes against innocent people in the Middle East. Poor taste, 48 Hours.

Very nice to fall asleep to.

Post Mortem

Ridiculous that the Post Mortem episodes begin with a recap of the podcast from the previous day. Try following Dateline's lead – – they tell you in the first five seconds that if you haven't listened to the podcast yet or seen the episode, go listen to it and then come back. They don't waste time in their "Talking Dateline" telling you what the episode from the day before was about. Then again, there's a lot you could learn from Dateline. And Anne-Marie could just TRY to be a little bit enthusiastic -- narration is soooo dull and monotone. Horrible.
TEXHND

Typical

I enjoyed Candyman until it became a typical, racially motivated, episode. I’m done.
cupcakesobrien

Snooze fest

I literally just yelled in frustration “THIS IS BORING”. Too many ads, interviewers are dull and hard to listen to. Seems like a lot of ripping off recent dateline episodes as well. I love true crime and listen to loads of podcasts, but I’ll probably unsubscribe from this one.
Deborah PDX

Great show; please lose the opening music!

These shows are excellently produced and I like that they are about 45 minutes instead of an hour and a half. However, I cannot stand the opening cello music!! I always have to fast forward through it. Can you please get some better music? It doesn’t have to be all scary and dramatic. Thank you.
Pual.

To many ads

45 min pod cast with 20 min of ads, also a lot of this are just copy and paste from dateline
RachelMe1993

Does anyone edit this?

Within the first few minutes we get an intro sound bite of an investigator? … who knows it could be a random person but they included it in the main intro he says something like “most people who get murdered are not innocent or victims… but this gal was both”
Caitlin CC.

Great collection

Good reporting- the least sensational of ‘this’ type of podcast.
NorthSeaNY

What’s with the planned parenthood ads?

Yuck! Why not substitute a St Jude’s children hospital ad? That’s one most Americans can support!
leslie_will

Gross

CBS didn’t learn their lesson and are still advocating for planned parenthood and shoving their ideology down our throats. You’re already a joke for news and politics so I guess it’s only fitting that you ruin the one decent thing you still had.
GorpBorkZ

Don’t pay for subscription

Still tons of ads with paid subscription!!
Matt_B_W

Troy Roberts is an embarrassment

His contrived voice affectation is laugh-out-loud ridiculous. Why do broadcast companies think phony narrators like this are a good choice?
Heather7936

Wondery plus

The start says wondery plus subscribers listen ad free but it’s actually a 48+ subscription. You need to update your intro.
mw11385

Why buy a subscription?

“Ad-free” isn’t really a thing, apparently. Do better, 48 Hours. This is getting tiresome.
Deacon YoMouf

Too many ads

3 sentences then ads 4 sentences 2 the same as before ad 2 new one then more ads 6 sentences only 3 new ones and so on
2244356745

No one wants to hear ads lying

About reproductive rights being taken away. Please stop begging us to kill babies. Deleting this podcast. A mandate was spoken. Stop this madness. Planned parenthood wants to kill off black babies.

So interesting! And well told.

Waste of time

Post-Mortem Ruined it

I like the regular podcast which is the one I actually subscribed to. At some point they added follow up discussion episodes where all the reporters and people involved just give their opinions. It’s dumb and I have to manually remove every one of them from the queue/up next, etc. feeds. This is incredibly annoying because I always wear my headphones and don’t always have my phone near me. I’m usually listening while doing something that requires me to stop, wash my hands, find my phone, etc. just to remove it because I don’t want to spend the next 30 minutes listening to something I can’t unsubscribe from. When post mortem episodes are removed from the actual show feed I’ll resubscribe.
this show used to be good

Liberal bias garbage

Snobby liberals jerking each other off. Typical of mainstream media.
Deedle Doe

The voice

Any of the episodes or ads with Erin’s voice cause me physical and mental anguish. I physically can’t handle it and I feel bad because I want to hear the episodes but it’s torture when I hear Erin talking
ict71

Good stories too many ads

The ads are annoying. I don’t mind one maybe two at the most but this is way too much. Each ad break has several ads so you end up hearing so much extra junk. No thanks. I’ll pass.
Chuck201212

Awful music and bad host voices

The music is awful and distracting, the episodes featuring Erin Moriarty are unlistenable, and why is there often what seems like a second host who comments only infrequently during most episodes? Copy Dateline.
pauln483

Too many repeats!

I love the show but the repeats are really annoying.
Toot56

vocal fry

I wanted to listen to the Black Swan episode but the Vanity Fair contributor’s vocal fry was like nails on chalkboard. When are young people going to drop this annoying affectation?
sportyspice11

Repetitive and over the top music

Many repeat cases and the background music is ridiculously loud and makes it difficult to hear people speaking. Imagine having a conversation in the same room as someone playing the drums. This podcast is marginally better than that scenario. I only listen when I’ve run out of other podcasts to listen to, and often not even then. People keep complaining about it in the reviews but apparently no one’s listening.
dani.dani

Repeat cases, promos for bad shows Midnight Order

It’s not like there aren’t enough unsolved murder cases out there that need public attention, why so many repeats? And have you actually listened to the Midnight Order hosts’ obnoxious “valley girl” vocal fry? They sound like annoying bimbos, idk who can stand listening to that.
TLummer

Rate and review

Enjoy listening to the podcast I won’t say that I love it because sad Lane I started from the beginning and I have came across the same episode at least five times I had to go back and look and make sure that I had it on unplayed episodes. it wouldn’t bother me so much except for I listen when I ride or while I’m doing something that I have to either listen to the repeated episode for the time stop what I’m doing to Market is played
KWC42292

I can’t take it!

The distracting addition of jazz music throughout the ENTIRE podcast episode makes it intolerable for me.
psweenz

Knockoff Dateline

Pretty good stories, but it drives me absolutely nuts that dateline and 48 hours just post the same stories with “slightly” different interviews and act like it’s brand new. They are both guilty, not pointing fingers here. There are tons of murders- can’t you find an original story?
Snow 🦊 White

Amazing

amazing podcast🤘🏽🫶🏽

one of my favorite podcasts!
Real12thWoman

Music needs to change

Like others have said, the music is too loud. It doesn’t hit the same like Dateline or 20/20. They need to improve the music and turn it down. It’s so outdated.
chardun20

Why do interviews

I like to hear facts, not the opinions of the hosts. Why do interviews if you already formed an opinion about your questions?
