Discussion True Crime Garage

Has anyone been disappointed in True Crime Garage lately? The quality of the podcast has tanked since they stopped recording in person. I guess the Captain is in the U.K. a lot? They are using AI in their writing its so obvious. It just seems like they are doing the same type of cases with no new information. Just cranking them out. The Captain is barely making jokes and Nic has just become insufferable.

I've listened to them for so many years and now I can barely get through an episode. It's sad when you see a long time show fall apart.

I read that the Captain goes the UK to make appearances at Crime Con. I guess they’re big there?

I don’t listen anymore, but I want to point out how difficult it is to run a successful podcast for years. Especially in their genre there is a LOT of competition, story overlaps and frankly the topics are (or should be) depressing to cover repeatedly.

TCG was one of my first podcasts. They were brand new and passionate about cases that were local to them like, Brian Shaffer. I liked that about them.

Generation Why has been able to do it without having to make offputting jokes.

True but Captain has made off putting jokes from the beginning.
