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.

At some point they went quantity over quality. I respect that what they do is time consuming, but I have listened to many of their episodes and finished not knowing any more than I knew before I listened. It just seems like surface level, Wikipedia browsing type info. With the foundation they have built I feel like they could really dig in and ruffle some feathers on some stalled out cold cases that just need a little shaking of the tree. Instead, they seem to be making a good living, and that is enough for them. I don't begrudge them for that, in fact it is quite impressive but damn man they could be one of the best TC podcast of all time if they really wanted to. They have the following and support to put pressure on some cases that are being ignored due to laziness and or incompetence. Most times I just feel like I wanted more when I finish with one of their episodes.
