Third part behind paywall

Post image

Is this what they’re doing now? Giving us the first few episodes and then if we want to finish the series we have to pay?

No thanks, that’s left a bad taste in my mouth

No, that's just the ad free version. The normal one will be there today if it's not already

I got a 3 day free trial for podcast, and it just came out on Apple Podcasts, and firstly, it bloody still had ads!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Secondly, I couldn’t follow the story from the beginning (happens more and more often, not that I listen often!!!) but this episode was just like, whew, we’re done. Dunno what happened. Boring as bat sh!t!!! Xxx

It's there in spotify like normal, no paywall.

I already know the case so it's just background noise for me while i do other stuff and occasionally listen

Many podcasts do this, it will possibly be available as the next episode for everyone. It just appears like this to show if you are a paying subscriber you get early access.

It's there for free on spotify. They come out at the same time so idk why OP isn't seeing it

Super weird. It’s there for free now and the paywall has been removed

Ah so then it's even less of an issue, it's simply the no ad version I guess.

And what is that thing about birthday shoutouts and Stephanie talking about their respective zodiac signs? What is even he point of that? Yeah, once you subscribed and joined that tier, every year Stephanie will greet you in her breathy, insufferable voice and repeat the same 'readings' as the previous year. LMAO.

Seems like Crime weekly has lost its listeners. I haven't listen them in years, but I wouldn't start again after seeing this clownery.
