    Hmmm
    Dialog just drags while loud and overly dramatic music imposes itself in the foreground. I’m not bothering to continue.

    Sloppy made for tv podcasr
    As interesting as the crime stories themselves can be, you manage to destroy them with the constant sound effects..Don’t you know just how annoying these sound effects and other emotive interruptions are? FYI, I am NOT watching tv, I am listening to a podcast. While there are many bad podcasts, for other reasons, this is yours. It is probably due to the fact that you don’t want to hire and pay humans to remake these narratives as worthwhile podcasts.

    Inside the Midnight Order-
    I listened to the beginning of Inside the midnight order- episode one, and it was unbearable to listen to. Murder should never be discussed in a manner using the “up speak” and vocal fry favored by bored and vapid teenagers. Discussing the murders of fellow human beings is serious business. I was cringing listening to this.

    Can the Previews be removed!
    I know the pod casts are straight from the TV show and the previews are played prior to commercials but for pod casts, it does not make sense to hear the preview since the commercials on pod cast are very short and in some cases the story continues right after the preview which does not make any sense and is confusing the story. And I agree with other comments about the background musics. This is a true crime story and not some fictional story to entertain people for enjoyment. Should really cut back on the background music so that we can hear the real people talking about their story. The sound effects are so distracting!

    Fantastic
    Riveting Stories. Love it. Thank you.

    No editing for Podcast listeners
    I agree with other reviews, about the clear sound of text messages being received but no narration for the podcast. There is no change from the TV broadcast to the podcast for the non verbal communication thats done for TV. Some is understandable but leaving out an entire text conversation that take up 2 mins in a pod feels neglectful.

    To Lacyladean
    Some episodes are called “From the Vault”. Which means older episodes are reruns.
  • Melidawna
    Lazy editing
    It’s obvious you don’t put any effort into modifying these stories for podcasts. I’m listening to the familiar sound of text messages popping onto a screen, but 2020 didn’t bother to narrate them for listeners. And 100% agreement on all the comments about stale, repeated content.
  • Inday_joy
    I was going to
    I was going to listen to this podcast but saw the name “David Muir” so I decided not to. Nope!
  • Lacyladean
    Music over the top and old cases
    Music is waaayy overboard. Also advertise these cases as new but many have been covered multiple times.
  • Matt_B_W
    Someone’s finally covering the Sherri Rasmussen case!
    Wait, sorry, this is the millionth podcast about it. Be sure to subscribe for cutting edge, fresh content like this!
  • Lincoln fan65
    No journalistic integrity
    David Muir ruined any positive thoughts I had for this network, the podcasts and the shows. No longer a listener or viewer.
  • fjbabcdefu!
    The girl who looked like me
    I genuinely like 2020 and most of the podcast you do but the race baiting podcasts are getting ridiculous at this point. In this episode, they’re talking about a girl who was brutally murdered and she deserved justice but no one reported her missing for a length of time and they were mad because Laci Peterson and Lori hacking was receiving national news. Both of those were pregnant women who went missing so it was an emergency that they be found, and the only thing that they pointed out in the episode was that they were white women. Tamika had she been reported missing before her dog was almost dead. They probably would’ve been a rush to find her. Her car was gone. It look like she went on a trip and they had no idea where she was intentionally making it seem like they didn’t care about black woman and I don’t think that was the case at all. All of these women were killed by violent men. That’s the issue here. Not race. Stop race bating people.

    David Muir
    I am disappointed in how David Muir conducted himself during Presidential debate. He lost credibility as an unbiased journalist. Now I question what his motives are on reporting true crime. Are you going to ignore stories that make certain people/policies look bad?
  • Deej0616
    Repeat stories
    I would rather have less episodes posted than the same ones over and over again. It’s the same dateline and 20/20 episodes we’ve heard before and you just keep reposting them. The car on the bridge comes up to often. Also dateline and 20/20 post the same episodes back to back.
  • mejwilliams
    Needs better editing
    I love a good true crime story, but you can’t just take a tv episode, play the audio and call it a podcast. The length of transitional music in these stories may add to the drama when paired with all the visuals on tv but for audio it is PAINFUL. For a powerhouse brand like 20/20, many of these episodes feel sloppy. It feels like some simple edits could clean up the transitions and make it much more enjoyable to listen to.
  • Mom to sandwich lovers
    Stop with the sound effects!
    Such good stories but omg the sound effects are like a kid in the 90s with a brand new soundboard. Stopppppp the horrible musical effects!
  • bdog8346
    Unable to read on the podcast
    If you could have someone actually read the texts instead of the noise that they were sent and received. That would make for a more understandable podcast.
  • jm17230$$$
    Fake news
    David Muir=fake news that debate was a joke you embarrassed. It even ruined 20/20 for me
  • equitonic
    Enjoyable but…
    Enjoy listening to this podcast all the time. But the last episode on the Crumbly parents - you just hear text tones being sent/received but have no idea what they say! At least have the decency to add some audio reading aloud what they say. Other episodes have has missing pieces because in the tv episode they are showing a picture or something that isn't audio. But the texts where such a huge part of the case and gave context. Otherwise great listening for long drives.
  • Frustrated at the changes
    Not formatted for a podcast
    When you say “then texts were sent” and on the podcast all we can hear is the Apple text sending tone over and over, we lose context. So much of the “Sins of our parents” episode is lost to that poor oversight.
  • Pinhead12345678910
    Sins of the Producers
    Does anyone bother to listen to these shows before they are turned into a Podcast? In “Sins of the Parents”, there were multiple instances of text messaging, that obviously while watching the show you can read, but when listening all that is heard are multiple “swooshes”. Someone needs to read out loud what the texts are!!! Very important dialogue is missing, that made the show unlistenable. Don’t waste your time on this one!
  • bdak21
    No more!
    Bye ABC. We all know who owns you and your peoples!!
  • bachh55
    No more David
    Cannot trust a disgraceful Journalist that is so unprofessional.
  • Jaci oh oh
    Were ABC followers
    After the debate, we no longer watch ABC news with David Muir or anything else he or ABC is associated with. What a one sided debacle and terrible journalism if you call it that….. I think not****
  • ramjam2011
    Missing too many episodes
    I watch 20/20, and listen to this podcast occasionally. The podcast has vault episodes and special series, some of which are also available on Hulu. However, I noticed the podcast episodes are being removed. They only go back about two months. There isn’t much to listen to if you watch the TV show(s).
  • pantomime21
    Why boycott ABC???
    Why boycott ABC over the debate? He was fact checked bc of his constant embellishments. May I add, she did not lie. NOBODY has an abortion after a baby is born!!! If that was the case, they would call it murder. Miscarriages ARE called spontaneous abortions in the medical field. Good grief people, get your heads out of the clouds. He NEVER addressed the women. Kamala or Lindsay, the moderator. Only to “David” Muir by first name only. Stick those bias comments where the sun doesn’t shine. (In the cloud your heads been)

    Good content but Lousy editing
    This show is well researched and the topics/cases even if not new to the true crime community is well researched but the awfulness of the editing trying to just copied it from tv to a podcast is just bad, the repetitive parts that works well to let people know what is coming up in a tv programme doesn’t work in the podcast setting , please hire some editors with podcast experience to rework some things also keep volume at an even level Leave a few seconds if a commercial will be inserted but only if you have commercials otherwise do not , Hire people form the podcast world to start editing and please delete the repetitive parts will make a huge difference. Edit : The interview with Ashley Benefited is so bias , she is definitely a person with borderline personality disorder and is guilty, why the interview makes it appear as she didn’t know this guy was a widow, she lying about being poisoned ( proven to be a lie) Ashley was the one with the idea of a ballet company and there is zero questions about it, also both Doug and Ashley are/ were incredibly flawed individuals, she a histrionic/ borderline disorder and he a recently widow that prey in a young woman , this not the first time a new mom goes into a murderous phase when they get obsessed with their child … believing they are the only ones who can take care of their child. ( e.g2: 2 veterinarians , a physician,a psychiatrist ,etc) Both were Trumpers which add another layer of crazy , guns and stupidity.

    Hard Pass
    If you like hearing the same podcasts over and over and over, this is the podcast for you. If you like one sided reporting, this is the podcast for you. It is not the podcast for me and I am unfollowing.

    David Muir
    I will never watch or support ABC again after what you tied to do to Trump.

    Deadly Sound effects
    Please take the sound effects board away from the intern. Unlistenable- you are allowing the subpar audio production team kill your podcast.

    ABC News No More
    I used to love this show/podcast however due to the debate I will no longer watch/listen to ABC News or their hosts. David Muir…. Fact check Harris!
  • weatherlou
    Mr Muir
    Thanks to the disgraceful ambush that ABC and VP Harris conducted on President Trump, I’m done with anything ABC does…period. Journalists used to question and moderate political discourse in the country, now you’re simply tools of your selected cabal!

    The midnight order
    I was so excited about the midnight order episodes when I saw them. When I finally got to listen to them I couldn’t even finish the first one. The hostess and the woman she was interviewing sounded too much like the Kardashians. The way she would slowly drag the words out and everything. It was horrible. It also made it feel really slow and boring. Shes definitely not a host that gets her guest excited to tell their story. I just gave up listening because I couldn’t even focus on what was being said because I was so annoyed about HOW it was being said. I’m giving the show 20/20 5 stars. But if this was just a review for the midnight order episodes it would definitely be 1 star.
  • Chingonaism
    Chill out with the music
    I want to keep listening but the background music is too much. Less is more
  • a098521
    Not enough diverse stories
    I like it in the beginning but noticing a pattern like other podcasts. The focus is on stories with media coverage already. What about the ones that don’t make the news or stories that are overlooked for obvious reasons.
  • cecegrrl
    Wild Crime
    Good God ppl the music is GHASTLY! Choose a lighter genre.. sounds like a soundtrack from the movie Carrie, a fictionalized horror flick. This is a True Crime story after all, give the victims some respect; cuz it’s sure cheesy and makes following the script impossible.
  • annkruck
    Tone down your music throughout
    The journalism is great but the background music is foreground and so LOUD I shut it off. Bummer. So loud and disturbing. It hurts my brain. Can’t enjoy the program because commercials and music are too loud. I’m out
