D4vid story reporting
I lost count the number of times Natalie Morales and Matt Gutman said “you know…” and “I mean…” So distracting!
Whatever happened to professional reporting? Why does everyone sound like they’re in a middle school cafeteria?

Show is good- but
I started listening and enjoyed most of the episodes until recently. Not sure why- but now that I’ve made it to the 2018 season the show is very very quiet and the ads are unbelievably loud.
I just can’t stand having to constantly adjust the volume. I’ll be listening intently and nearly have a heart attack when they change to an ad.
I’ll try skipping ahead a year. Maybe the issue has been resolved.

I don’t love Erin's voice. The rest is great

I’m sorry but my kid is four years old right now. He farted the other day and blamed his brother. (Who was at school) I find it horrible to try and put this kid on the stand. No four year old KNOWS forsure what a lie is. I’m not saying the brother did it. I’m saying something happened and you shouldn’t just take a four year olds statement as what happened.

Great
I love listening to the 48 hrs podcast while busy doing other things. It’s the next best thing to watching it on TV.

Can hear editor’s mouse clicking through episodes
I cannot recall all the episodes I’ve heard it on, but I just tried listening to “good cop/bad cop” and I can hear the constant sounds of a computer mouse clicking. This isn’t translating well into podcast format as it is, but the clicking makes it unbearable. Hopefully it’ll get cleaned up and I’ll try again!

Good reporting of true crime and no cussing.

Bye bye 48 Hours
Peter Van Sant shows such stunning ignorance around domestic violence and trauma in The After Show: What the Neighbors Saw that I don’t think I can stand to hear his voice ever again. Try educating yourself or developing the empathy to imagine a human experience other than your own.

Don’t mind the show but…
Erin Moriarty sounds like the vist cigarette smoking bagel shop lady in New Jersey who used to pour my coffee every morning.
And Troy Roberts needs to stop with the put on breathy voice. Can’t anyone just be normal?

Exceptional
This is my favorite podcast! You all deliver the story in a compassionate and delicate way that I hope feels as respectful to the families as it seems to the listener. Your delivery is exceptional.

Journalism or Victim Shaming?
In the Abducted episode, whomever interviewed the child and his mother, and the sexually abused daughter needs to apologize to each of them. How dare you doubt and question and trigger children. And how dare you question a survivor.
This needs to end. There are better ways to corroborate. A formal apology must be made. You were not questioning a murderer. These are kids and this is why they don’t come forward.
Do and be better. DNF the episode.

No More CBS
As much as it pains me to cut ties with 48 Hours, it’s clear that the parent company has no interest in the pursuit of truth.

48 hours
This is one of my favorite podcasts, but it repeats the same episode over and over with different titles and dates. It’s honestly kind of annoying. I want to listen to all the episodes, not the same one 3 different times.

Erin Moriarty, Host
With all due respect, Erin Moriarty needs to retire altogether or move on to another career. She has the most hoarse, scratchy (reminds me of nails on a chalkboard) voice of any journalist or host of a long running podcast and television show that I have ever had the misfortune of listening to. Not anymore. I am done listening. It is nearly impossible to listen to enunciation, voice inflection, and overall narrative tone when the sound of her voice is so abhorrent. How has she possibly kept her job this long?And to think that she also hosts an additional crime show as a solo host. Please use other hosts to narrate subject matter that is this sensitive and sometimes perplexing.

Favorite podcast
48 is my favorite true crime podcast. They always do a good job covering the crime, the criminal and the courthouse.

ADS
Why am I still hearing ads when I pay for the premium ad free edition?
Navyswthrt
Why use one narrator?
I subscribe annually but if Anne Marie Greene is going to narrate all episodes I will not renew. Not as enjoyable to not have original.

Pull out supplemental shows
Enjoy listening! Constantly skipping any episode that is not the original format.

Ironic
Very detailed and well done. I found it really rich that the daughter of Claudia Northam was appalled that Prop 57, which she voted for, would be used in this case for her mother’s murderer. So she was fine applying it to the victimizers in other people’s murders, just not her own. Typical progressive moron.

Subscriber Feed is a Mess
Great program, excellent reporting, thoughtful analysis, and solid technical quality.
Issue is subscriber feed and difficulty in sorting the content, specifically the special programs from the regular and extra episodes. It’s all jumbled together. Please sort your content and label it the way Dateline and other similar programs do. I end up skipping some of the content because it is a pain to sort and find easily.

Ignore the haters. It’s one of the reasons I listen to 48 Hours. We’ll written and narrated. Keep it up!

Reporter Erin
Love the show and content, however Erin the reporter has the most obnoxious voice. She’s clearly struggling with vocal cord issues or breathing issues and it makes listening less than enjoyable

Me too
An amazing story. The resin I stay was the day after. He would hit me pull my hair lock me in the closet but the next day he treated me like he loved me. Sick looking back.

Great!
Good story telling! I find the post mortem episodes feel a bit like beating a dead horse… but the other episodes are very good.

48 Hours
Long time listener. Love the show but what the heck is up with this tedious “Spiral: Murder In Detroit”??? YAWN! First, the quality is no where near as good as the regular 48 Hours episodes. Second, the host is obviously not a professional - her voice is really annoying. Anne-Marie Green’s voice performance is just so much more compelling. This special, or whatever it is, is just not as interesting nor on the same level of story telling as the regular episodes.

Beware the “Free” Press
The takeover of CBS has started and they are now compromised. I’m sorry for all of the real journalists and hope they find another outlet to pursue real journalism. For now, time to boycott.

The downfall of an institution
I feel genuinely bad for all of the great journalists that made 48 hours and CBS a trusted news source for generations just to see it be perverted and destroyed by the likes of Bari Weiss on behalf of the Ellisons and their pursuit of total right wing media domination

I LOVE IT!!!!!!🥰

If you are going to hate i am sorry if this podcast was anything less that 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LGBTQIA is great
Do Better 48 Hours
The Amanda Knox episode was the final straw. Five minutes in and it’s clear what they want you to think about this case. A case that has been proven to be full of police corruption and media bias. Yeah, we know her story changed. It’s because they deprived her of sleep, and every other basic human right. They physically assaulted her. They wrote the confession. They didn’t provide a translator. They convinced her to sign the document, promising it would all be over if she did. It’s medieval what they did to this woman. It’s 2025. We have DNA evidence and a legit confession. If you want to stay relevant, then release episodes with relevant information.

Repeats
This show constantly has reruns. Indy podcasts don’t get to do that and you guys have a whole teams and money. I don’t get it. It’s disappointing especially for the price I pay!

Horrible narration
Speakers sound old, slow and horrible to listen to.

If I could rate 6 stars I would

Stop Spoiling
I can’t understand why you spend the first two minutes telling the entire case and blowing all the spoilers. By the time the actual episode starts, there is no mystery!
Angry Paid Subscriber
Troy Roberts sounds ridiculous.
He sounds like Snagglepuss. Why do broadcast companies think phony narrators like this are a good choice?

Chronic!!!
You all sounded so white and so old.

Why pay?
Why am I paying for a subscription when the full series isn’t made available to me. I love this podcast but unfortunately I’m dropping my subscription because I’ve no idea what I’m paying for. I can’t binge new series, have already heard old series on the free edition and there are rarely new shows. Plenty of reruns but rarely new material. Sorry guys. You used to be one of my favorites until I paid to subscribe. Rates aren’t cheap and I get nothing in return. Goodbye.

I surely hope you uploaded a very old episode today because you’re trying to put together a piece about the senseless murder that happened yesterday 9/10/25 , if not, I’ll be unfollowing

Huge Fan
I’ve always been a big Dateline fan, but 48 Hours is a much better podcast!

Getting Ads with Paid Subscription
I am still getting ads with paid subscription and I’ve done all the things that are online and the podcast. I’m listening to says it is a subscription story. When I listen to dateline and I have paid for a subscription, I never get an ad.
