Kate: Ok Paul I have a case from 100b.c. . Privileged person kills under privileged person(we all know what it was like back then). Unfortunately I don’t have names, descriptions, location or eyewitnesses. So what do you think? Paul: Hmmm It would really help if I had a picture Me: Its been a fun ride but maybe we let true crime go to sleep for a little while

I love Kate and wicked words. Wish she would just tell us the story. So BORING!!! Way too much chatter. Paul over explains the most basic things. Most here are true crime addicts we know what lividity is for god sake! Just tell the story. Kate cover them on wicked words. Too boring to follow. Take away 90% of Paul’s input and it would be good.

Love this pairing! The way Kate introduces the case is truly like coming upon it and working one’s way through the event and material from a cold case perspective m. Being a Contra Costa kid with law enforcement ties, Paul is one of the good ones and brings understanding and knowledge that true crime lovers want to know and ask the questions that we hope we have.

I’ve enjoyed this podcast since it started. I love the combination of Kate’s historical story telling with Paul’s experience. Please can we have “There’s a pathology there” merch !!

Gosh darn it, too many part twos!!! Skip the nerve damage and c section chatter and you’ll have plenty of time for the whole story 😜

I love it. I listen to each one the moment it is uploaded to my phone. Yes I listen when I get home from work and multitask all the heck out of this podcast. Good listen.

Interesting podcast that offers a new perspective on true crime. Plus, Paul Holes is all I need to catch my attention.

The only problem with this podcast is that it only comes out once a week and I immediately listen to it (and then have to wait a whole 7 days!). Love the banter, love the experience Paul brings to the show, and how much I learn about history and the logic that detective work uses. Kate is an excellent host and a great story teller.

Have such bad grammar? It’s the tool of their trade. Use it properly. Stop mixing plurals and singular terms. Be educated.

I don’t understand why KWD describes herself as someone who has written about true crime for 25 years, then constantly acts like she is shocked by totally normal elements of crime. Is it an act for the show or has she truly lived such a sheltered life that she is constantly stunned and baffled by her own area of “expertise”?

I found this podcast about six months ago and have binged every episode! Absolutely love it.

I binged this podcast in an unhealthy way. It’s Amazing!!

Having had tangential connections to 3 murders as a child (between 8-10) I have always been drawn to crime and murder investigations. And because only one of those murderers was prosecuted, long forgotten, unsolved murders are fascinating to me. Paul is one of the heroes who has evolved as science and technology has enabled a few of the monsters from the past to finally be brought to justice. Paul, If you ever want to take on unsolved cases in South Carolina, I have some info to get you started! Kate is a first rate storyteller and historian. I love her other podcasts, so I knew adding Paul could only make a great show even greater-er 😊

But did Paul Holes work on GSK? He never EVER mentions it, so I'm not sure. I do love KWD puts him firmly in place as her assistant. It's nice to see his ego have to shrink a bit. Stories are interesting too. Nice break from gory present day true crime. Edited to 5 stars because I love that 'liberal whiny woman!'

I love this podcast! I always look forward to Wednesday when the podcast drops. I enjoy the history that Kate unfolds while Paul gives his expertise in the law. It is very top notch!!!

Stories are interesting and seem well researched. Love Paul Holes, on the fence about Dawson. Listening to Coyote Flat it seems like filler telling the listener many times that they were racist in 1920, yes, we know. Also, to inform the listener they called them Indians, but we say Native American now is not necessary. Stop with the PC and just tell us the story. Had to unsub when you start making excuses for a murderer, I’m out.

They just chat most of the time. They aren’t witty or interesting. It takes so long for them to get to the point. It takes half the episode for them to get to the point. And this type of cold case true crime podcast is one of my favorite genres.

Sorry guys, I’ve listened to every show and LOVE them but the “you knows” from both Kate and Paul are getting out of control and are distracting. I will totally update this comment later. I get that it becomes a habit so just wanted to point it out.

Two types of medical degrees: MD (allopathic) and DO (osteopathic). Both must complete a residency and pass their boards to be licensed physicians or surgeons on the US. Surprised you didn’t research this prior to your episode on Riverdale, NJ hospital.

Thank you…

I could listen to these two talk about anything. Great chemistry between them. Good true crime concept. Very respectfully done.

So hard to find good podcasts without any bias in them. Paul Holes in very intelligent. Enjoyed his commentary. Female host, good grief, liberal all day. Whiney woman.

Every week I look forward to hearing Kate and Paul discuss another “buried” mystery. Their interaction is great and the stories are always intriguing. I love all the anecdotal information about their families and fish. I also feel connected because I live north of Austin and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. Great job!

Why does Kaye laugh and chuckle and the most inappropriate time?

I love hearing these stories and the insights Paul can provide on how the outcome could have been different.

I LOVE this podcast! Kate asks all the questions I’m thinking, and Paul answers them so intelligently while also not assuming facts about the case or over-romanticizing what may have happened. Very easy to listen to and every episode is incredibly interesting.

Please, PLEASE, stop saying the crutch phrase - “you know!” But, you know, absolutely love this podcast otherwise.

I love history and true crime! This is literally the perfect podcast.

I was so surprised when they first announced this duo. They seemed like such a weird combo, but I LOVE the show. It’s usually an historical glimpse into history and murder (perfect.)

I love hearing the perspective that Paul has on the cases as well as Kate! Paul has so much knowledge and sheds light on things I never knew. My only dislike of the show, as it has gone on, it seems like Kate puts extra attention on race issues, how females used to be treated etc. Not to say those issues aren’t important and they weren’t real with the timeframe however, it seems like there is too much time spent talking about it on every episode. We all can acknowledge how things were in the past, it’s time to move forward.

I would love to listen to these guys talk about more recent cases. The super old cases are just boring. Great team, love the way they communicate. The subject matter is lacking. I was pumped when they talked about a case from the 1980s! 1700s-1800s, who cares!?

many true crime podcasts are disappointing that this is not one of them. Both people involved, Kate Winkler, Dawson and Paul holes, our exceedingly intelligent people, and they bring perspectives to historical crime that are thought-provoking and well worth your time. I give 10 stars if I could.

Paul and Kate are the perfect pairing. The way Kate unfolds each story while Paul analyzes is both fascinating and entertaining. Keep up the great work you do!

Love this podcast! I keep up with it weekly. Good work 👏🏽

I followed long ago and just turned to this morning. I’m not too far into the podcast and I love how the cases are broken down and looked at differently than any other podcast I’ve listened to. And I listen to quite a few true crime podcasts. I will continue to listen. Thank you for the wonderful podcast y’all!

I love the actual true crime part of this podcast. But the first 5 minutes of most episodes are just the hosts pushing their books and praising each other so much that it almost gets uncomfortable. It’s too bad because when they finally get to the subject of the podcast, it’s always a good tale well told. The banter just ruins it for me. A little friendly banter is nice, but this is over the top.

I am a huge fan of true crime podcasts. Finding one that is so different and unique is hard to do. Kate and Paul look at cases in such a compelling way that only they can do. 10/10 recommend!

The only reason I give this podcast any stars at all as for Paul holes. I was so excited to have them back in the podcast, but this one is just bizarre. This woman claims to have all of this experience and true crime but I have been shocked at the things that she doesn’t know and honestly with the host like Paul holes you need to be able to keep up with him. At least know more than true crime 101. She asks some of the silliest and most ridiculous questions about things even a lay person would know the answers to. It’s a complete waste of Paul holes.

So well done and incredibly interesting! Thank you for all of the work that the whole team puts into this one! It is so good!!

You two make my day go by so much better at work. Thank you

Regarding the Lucy Pollard murder Your perception of Southerners as “white man bad” is just tiresome. You speak of people from the South as if they woke up every morning with the intention to either murder blacks or railroad them. And your disbelief that blacks could actually commit crimes and were always innocent is puzzling. (The North was segregated in case you ever want to look into that.) The use of lib buzzwords “racism” and “sexism” are inappropriate words to use for 1895. These people were a product of their time. To scold their behavior now is just silly. Solomon was a poor black man in possession of a $20 after a robbery and murder. Looking at him suspiciously is common sense not “racism.” I happen to believe his white man story. Aside from that, I listen to your podcast religiously. One more thing. “Often” is pronounced “offen.” The T is silent. I learned that in second grade.

I’ve been obsessed with true crime for as long as I can remember, but never listened to podcasts about cases older than about 1960’s. The format with Buried Bones has me hooked! I love the way Kate likes the story up for Paul and how he picks it apart from an investigative standpoint. Don’t ever stop!

I love all of your podcasts, but I beg you to stop saying supposeBLy. It’s supposeDly.

I think this podcast is great, but recently there have been so many 2 parters that could have been covered in 1 episode. If the 2 parts were released closer together, that would be fine. But now, I don’t bother listening to episodes that are multiple parts because its not worth waiting a week just to get the rest of the story. If this starts to change back to the OG format, I would likely update my review

I love this show. I’m a big fan of these two. I’ve listened to ‘all that is wicked’, and read Paul’s memoirs. This podcast is great. 99.9% amazing. It would be 100% if they created a sign off. The and of the show is always a bit jarring and quick. I wish Paul and Kate had something they said at the end of the show so the end isn’t just a sudden cut off- you know, like SSDGM from MFM. Otherwise it’s perfect the way it is.

Fascinating conversations thank you both!

I liked this show, now I love it! The Minneapolis Miracle!

The rapport between Kate and Paul is great, and they both bring their strengths to this podcast! I enjoy the lighthearted banter at the beginning of the episode before they dive in to the crime stories!

Great dynamic, great stories. I truly look forward to every week.

The chemistry is insane, you both seem like great friends and colleagues, it’s great to listen to both of you riff off each other. This makes me want to work in forensic science! 🤍 love yall
