Incredibly meticulous research and well presented
Thank you for this gripping true crime podcast that really goes into the details of the cases. I am following from Germany and am excited for every new episode. In particular I like how respectful you treat the victims. They are not just pawns of the perpetrator in your narrative but people with their dignity and agency intact. I also like that you rarely delve into speculation and - whenever you do do it clearly indicating that you are discussing a theory or hypothesis rather than the facts. All in all absolutely worth 5 stars (I wish I could give 6!)

Excellent show with great hosts!
This is the best introduction to the Zodiac Killer I've come across so far. Even though I thought I knew a lot about the case, turns out I didn't. The hosts are easy to understand, speak slow enough to hear, and as someone without great hearing that means a lot, they have good chemistry. I am looking forward to hearing more! And, even though I know this isn't the tagline or saying of this podcast, keep your own time ticking.

Excellent podcast
I checked out their 1st two episodes, and love what I'm hearing so far. Even though for some true crime aficionados the Zodiac Killer case may be old hat, the clear presentation the events from many different sources puts on a fresh spin, and it's also probably one of the best introductions to the Zodiac case there is. Can't wait to hear more.

Phenomenal Podcast
I had listened to several episodes of "True Crime All the Time" before listening to this podcast. I wasn't a fan of the Mike Ferguson/Mike Gibson podcast. For me, the joking was annoying and distracting in that podcast.
I gave this podcast a try and it is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to in the true crime genre (and I have listened to MANY). It is obvious that so much research and effort goes into each episode of this podcast. I love this Mike and Mike combo (Mike Ferguson/Mike Morford). They make an excellent team. They bring in consultants who add so much depth to the podcasts. I just finished listening to Season 1, Episode 11 of the Zodiac series. In Episode 11, Dave Oranchak, an expert in ciphers, explains efforts to decode the ciphers written by the Zodiac killer. It is a riveting discussion.
In the first episode of this podcast series, Mike and Mike promised to go deeper into these cases than traditional podcasts and they have more than delivered on that promise. I can't give this podcast high enough praise; it's phenomenal!

Interesting details, fantastic presentation!
I rarely give five star reviews, but this podcast has earned every single star. I love listening to true crime podcasts, but the presentation of this one is particularly unique as the hosts devote an entire series to each case, giving a unique perspective by covering details that would otherwise be omitted due to the time constraints of trying to cover such extensive cases in 1-2 episodes. The hosts can be repetitive at times which was mildly bothersome in the beginning, but in the beginning I was binge listening, and now that I'm caught up I find the repetitive nature to be extremely helpful in placing you back where they left off at the last episode, especially with the level of detail they are covering in the case. I have one minor complaint about the ads in recent episodes; as you're listening they will be talking about the case and in the next sentence they are in an ad. The clever placement is the only thing that keeps this from being entirely jarring, but a pause or a lead in (i.e. "I'd like to take a moment to talk about our sponsor) like they did in earlier episodes would be helpful, or even a jingle. But the ads are relevant for the most part and some are even interesting (the True Crime magazine, for example) so I really don't mind it so much.
This is currently my favorite podcast out of 10-12 other podcasts that I'm listening to. The hosts are very clear about what they are presenting. I can't say enough that their presentation of these cases and details is effectively flawless. The hosts have a good back and forth between each other and it helps to keep the podcast interesting. I look forward to see the quality of this podcast continue to rise as the hosts discover what works and what doesn't. Thank you, Mike and Morf, for a great podcast.

Great Show
This show does a deep, deep dive into that seasons chosen. This season the GSK case has been super in-depth. Mike and Morf the hosts really make it about the victims and there stories. Also has great interviews with victims and people involved in soling the case like Paul Holes and Carol Daly.

Excellent show, highly recommended!
If like me you have trawled through countless shows on tv and radio about the Zodiac killer you will know that a lot of them are lacking in detail and quality. They tend to sensationalize rather than concentrate on what really happened back then in the bay area of San Francisco and the true horror of his crimes.
This show is the polar opposite, packed with detail, research and genuine enthusiasm for the subject.
It is informative and entertaining, every episode leaves you ready and eager for more of the same.
Criminology is fast becoming a classic with a simple format devoid of too much silly background music and overly dramatic narration, a pitfall that so many have fallen into.
It is an excellent place to start for a newcomer to the subject who may feel over-faced by the sheer mass of data available on and off the net.
Mike and Morf sift through it for you and deliver a concise, pared down and detailed version of events and timelines in a enthusiastic way that keeps the listener glued for the whole ride.
