Join Jackie Flores for more true crime cases in “What Happened?,†an expansion of her popular YouTube channel. Each week, Jackie dives even deeper into notorious cases - both solved and unsolved - delivering her signature reporting and respectful analysis along the way.
The What Happened...? with Jackie Flores podcast is an exceptional true crime podcast that brings awareness and diversity to the genre. As a listener coming from YouTube, I am thrilled to hear Jackie cover cases about Latinas, a demographic that often gets overlooked in mainstream media. Her dedication to representing minority cases is commendable, and it adds a unique perspective to the true crime space.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is Jackie's ability to captivate her audience with her clear and articulate storytelling. Her voice immediately grabs your attention, making it easy to get lost in the narrative of each case she covers. The way she explains the details of the cases while staying on track is impressive and keeps listeners engaged throughout each episode. This podcast has been my introduction to the world of true crime podcasts, and I can confidently say that Jackie has set a high standard for future listens.
While there are many positive aspects of this podcast, one minor drawback for some listeners might be the use of unnecessary sound effects. While these sound effects may add some dramatic flair for some, others may find them distracting or unnecessary. However, it's important to note that this is purely subjective and does not take away from the overall quality of Jackie's storytelling abilities.
In conclusion, The What Happened...? with Jackie Flores podcast is an incredible addition to the true crime genre. It brings much-needed diversity and representation while delivering captivating stories with empathy and professionalism. Jackie's dedication to shedding light on lesser-known cases is admirable, and her storytelling skills make each episode addictive and engaging. I highly recommend this podcast for both long-time true crime enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
