    Ivy Insights

    The Jensen and Holes: The Murder Squad podcast is an absolute gem in the true crime genre. As a longtime listener since episode 1, I have been thoroughly impressed with the captivating stories and unique perspective that Paul Holes brings to each episode. I genuinely look forward to my Wednesday workouts just so I can listen to this podcast as I run.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the straightforward and effective presentation style of both Paul and Kate. Unlike many other crime podcasts that tend to be overly sensationalized or poorly researched, The Murder Squad offers a refreshing approach that is both dark and riveting. The chemistry between Paul and Kate is palpable, as they bounce off each other seamlessly and provide a natural flow to their conversations. Furthermore, the depth of knowledge that Paul brings as a seasoned investigator adds an extra layer of insight into each case.

    On the downside, some may find the content of this podcast to be too dark or disturbing. It can be difficult to hear about the bizarre and horrific deaths of others, especially for those who are sensitive to such topics. However, it is undeniable that these stories serve as a reminder to be more observant in our own lives, as crime can lurk just around the corner.

    In conclusion, The Jensen and Holes: The Murder Squad podcast is one of the most interesting and well-researched true crime podcasts out there. With its engaging storytelling, expert analysis, and the dynamic duo of Kate and Paul at the helm, it has quickly become a favorite among fans of the genre. Whether you're a long-time listener or just discovering this podcast, I highly recommend giving it a listen for its mature and educational take on true crime.
