Not sure why people are saying he needs a vocal coach. It’s not that serious, I think his voice is fine/normal. Well researched and to the point, no bull like some other podcasts.

If you love true crime that is unsolved, you will definitely enjoy it.

Ive been listening to this podcast for years. More so lately since i work in data entry and listen to podcasts all day while working. So i am finding a new appreciation for this. It is well written and respectful without the dramatic tone other podcasts have.

Classic true crime podcast and I love it.

Robin always does a great job and all the complaints are stupid and petty.

I enjoy the content

Keep up the good work putting your stoplight on unknown cases.

UPDATE 2024: New music as of Oct 2024. Thank you! I just had to ff the other music. Voice is so much better without the high pitching. Always well researched. Solid 4.5! UPDATE 2022: I’m now 23 episodes deep and he has definitely improved the pitch and cadence of his voice. ____________________________________________ I like the cases he chooses to review, his content is good, he is succinct. However, the first few minutes of every podcast is a long plug for several things and it gets old hearing it over and over and over and over and over for that long. I don’t get the feeling that he remembers that these are actual people and not just fictional cases and it comes off as a little crass. His pitchy voice which goes up really high and then back down and back up, is hands down the biggest negative (like nails on a chalk board-sorry!) to this podcast. I haven’t decided if I will be able to continue to listen to it because of this alone. I really hope I can get used to it or he works with a vocal coach if he wants to take this further personally or professionally.

I enjoy the opinion and analysis at the end of each episode. I saw a previous review regarding racism. Describing a person characteristics that is relevant to a story isn’t racism in this specific podcast. The intent is not to be hurtful.

This program is very well researched and the content is very informative. The cherry on top is it’s all delivered by Twinkles the Clown!!!

Absolutely love the show. I’ve been listening for years. It’s done with dignity and respect to victims and their families. Robin’s research is done, and his delivery is direct. I respect the lack of banter. Keep it up!

I came across your podcast a couple years ago. Listening to your true crime podcast found some new old crimes that went cold. I wish that they would find some of these missing people. Highly recommended this podcast.

Great work you do!!!

One of the best true crime podcasts currently available. Robin does his research, and always blends the facts into an engaging narrative. I have been listening for more than seven years, and have been continually impressed. You don’t want to miss this one!

I really enjoy this podcast. Well researched interesting stories.

Hi there I am really enjoying your work, but I absolutely cannot stand the music break in between your show. Sorry don’t mean to be rude, Sincerely your fan

Love the podcast and honestly Robin is fantastic. Doesn’t speak too slow so that I don’t get bored but not too fast to lose info. Great voice and easy to listen to. Keep it up!

Every time a victim is black he has to point it out in the beginning. If a suspect is black he has to voice it. He doesn’t do this for white people. Be smart. Do better. Oh and I do like your voice. Don’t listen to those weirdos

This is a great one! Good job!

This is a great podcast! Robin does very thorough research and is very victim centered. His compassion towards victims and their family members is so touching. Sometimes, in covering true crimes, you have to discuss difficult topics, but Robin always handles it with compassion and a desire to provide factual information. Where appropriate, he adds a little bit of humor. Looking forward to many more years of The Trail Went Cold!

These stories are told by a true story teller! I appreciate that his approach is to see all sides and angles of possible outcomes and suspects.

Good stuff!

Brad was Brazen! Definitely a salesman who is still selling his story. Also if it wasn’t just for the money, them why sue? He had plenty. I’m sure the most of us have had someone look us in the eye to proclaim their innocence. And there are the key words, he surrounded his self with only positive of a posse . She had the work group policy too. No credit cards ever used? Bingo!

I think for the most part it’s pretty well researched, but I’ll be honest his voice can get a little tiring. I mean if you want to fall asleep, that would be perfect. He should switch to nighttime readings to help you fall asleep, and I would definitely listen. I don’t listen to him when I’m driving down the road for fear of falling asleep.

His voice makes a human’s ear bleed. Holy cow. Who is encouraging this guy to make podcasts? For Seinfeld fans, he has the exact same voice as the Rabbi who tried to hit on Elaine. Only worse. And the actor playing the Rabbi was playing it for laughs. Robin is serious. Can’t do it. I switched to Trace Evidence where the host has a melodic tone, understands plurals and possessives, and does intense research. Maybe Robin should listen to a few great podcasts before he attempts to foist his mangled attempt on the public.

I’ve tried this podcast twice but can’t get past the strange cadence with which the host delivers the stories.

Found this podcast after watching reruns of Unsolved Mysteries. Podcaster offered more info than UM and had obviously done quite a bit of research. Message boards rabbit holes, anyone? Thoughtful and calm narration. New follower!

Interesting cases. But voice coaching needed. The sing- song character and some squeaking with high tones is distracting.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for awhile and I think it’s well put together. I’m amazed at how many cold cases there are out there and that they’re not forgotten because of podcasts like this one. I enjoy listening to Robin’s ideas and opinions and i think he does it in a way that’s respectful to all involved in each case. He says he’s NOT an expert in forensics or crime solving in any way, but he does well in providing facts. There are a lot of negative comments about his voice and the way he narrates, while I agree he isn’t the best, it’s really not that bad.

I randomly binge a few episodes of this pod every several months. I usually like the cases covered, and I think the host cares about accurate reporting although he tends to omit known, relevant details. He also says things that hurt his credibility and/or general knowledge about which he speaks. For example, he uses cause and manner of death interchangeably. I’m not sure if he gets them confused or doesn’t realize they are two separate things. Overall, it’s ok to listen to when you run out of your go-to pods.

The content is always interesting and I actually like the narrator’s voice. He really does a deep dive on each episode.

I'd found this podcast a few years ago and while I really think the research and writing are solid, I just cannot get past the host's voice and delivery. There's bizarrely fluctuating and delivered high notes that are almost a squeal of excitement. There's a cadence that's choppy and...odd. It's jarring as a listener, and so weird for a true crime podcast - a narrator that sounds like he'd be perfect for Sesame Street? Reading through other reviews, it's clear the host has gotten this feedback a million times over, but still hasn't sought out a vocal coach? It's the one thing that's holding this podcast back from being a top contender in the true crime category, and it's such an easy fix that I can't understand why Robin doesn't seek some help. I guess I'll try again in a few more years and see if he makes some changes?

He makes opinions as if he has some superiority over us.

Voice seems better for a children’s reading at a library

Came back hoping some of the constructive criticism had at least been appreciated & changes made accordingly, that is not the case. Come on! Robin needs vocal coaching or just a new host, it’s still unbearable. I tried.

I like the show and the format even if I disagree with Robin’s opinions on cases sometimes. I’m a long time listener and will continue to listen for as long as Robin produces episodes. The first thing that irks about the podcast is when he covers extremely old cases that have absolutely no chance of being solved whatsoever. All the information is always terribly reported because of the shoddy police work and poor journalism at the time and rest of it is based on hearsay. It just doesn’t make for a good podcast episode. Also, I don’t really see the point in covering cases that can’t ever be solved because isn’t the point of the podcast to highlight lesser known unsolved cold cases in hopes that the right person could be listening? These extremely old cases also are no where near as memorable as a episodes about cases within the last 40-50 years. I know Robin finds enjoyment in these cases but I just thought I’d put my two cents in as a listener. The other thing I think Robin needs to work on is that he seems to stereotype the American south a lot as if it’s still the 1960’s down there even if the case’s time period is far removed from segregation. I’m guessing this is because he’s Canadian and hasn’t spent any or a lot of time down there. It’s just something to think about. EDIT- DUDE JUST BECAUSE A VICTIM IS BLACK OR GAY DOES NOT MEAN IT’S POTENTIALLY A HATE CRIME.

I truly enjoy this podcast. Robin is a wonderful host and he chooses great content!

But why does Sean sound like a kidnapper calling to ask for ransom! I must listen to his podcast to find out more about this voice 🤣🤣

The show is well researched, but he HAS to find a replacement narrator. He must hear this constructive criticism often. I’m not typically sensitive to voices and sound, but I cannot listen anymore.

I am Wil Hendrick’s oldest sister, Becky. Thank you Robin Warner for the extensive research done on this Podcast. You have had the most correct information of any of the podcasts done on Wil’s case.

It seems wrong to call a TC podcast enjoyable, but that’s how I feel. Robin does a lot of research and I especially appreciate hearing the stuff that Unsolved Mysteries left out or got wrong. He doesn’t dwell on the gory aspects of the crimes, but gives the factual information of what happened I also like how he will occasionally throw in an episode that updates cases he has covered with any new developments.

I love this podcast. Thanks!

I like Robin as a narrator this is probably my second favorite podcast behind Trace Evidence but i like how Robin is consistent with the weekly episodes and seems to enjoy doing this podcast I’ve sent him a few cases and i hope to hear one on his podcast soon he does a good job at explaining each case and he seems to go straight to the point on most of the cases he does.

Remember some from Unsolved Mysteries! Been enjoying this podcast!

It would not be shocking to me if this dude was some day arrested for the kind of crime he so gleefully describes.

Y’all are a comfort to me as I try to go to sleep each night. I know you are there working hard for justice for the victims. In my spirit, I am there with y’all , hoping for the best. God bless your work and your sacrifices that are made so that victims have justice and families have peace.

Robin is such a great host and carefully crafts the content.

Robin does a tremendous job covering cases where sometimes there really isn’t much information to go on. To those who criticize his voice for being too high I am truly flabbergasted. It’s his voice, go listen elsewhere if you don’t like it.

I listen to a lot of TC pods but Robin Warder’s The Trail Went Cold is one of a few that I never miss and never tire of. His cases are so well researched. One of the best.

And I love this podcast. His research is thorough and unbiased.
