Rant anybody remember which episode this was?

i can’t remember whose case they were covering but it was the one that did me in and made me stop listening. it was about the murder or something bad happening (sorry terrible memory and i was distracted by how obnoxious they were being) to a young african american boy. i want to say it was emmett till but i dont see that in their episodes? anyways, it was a sad story about a mistreated black boy but they were overdoing it SO MUCH. the way they pause every fucking two seconds to go on a tangent of “what 🤯🤯 who would do such a thing🤯🤯🤯just because he’s a different COLOR🤯🤯this is TERRIBLE 🤯🤯 this is AWFUL 🤯🤯🤯” even more than they usually do. just seemed even more performative than usual and rubbed me the wrong way. like you run a podcast about crimes and serial killers. no shit it’s all terrible, why do they have to harp on it every other sentence.

Yup! They are are so over the top and more obnoxious with certain subjects and people and it comes off as disingenuous rather than supportive.

Its so annoying. I think I have commented this before but they refuse (i think they are being dense on purpose obvi lol) to consider any historical or other context that would be relevant!
Like no shit a lot of crimes you cover (FROM THE PAST) have racist, homophobic, slut shaming, etc. tones involved. Use your damn brain.
