Usually listen on Spotify but came over to audible to listen to an episode that was locked on Spotify. Generation Why has been my favourite podcast for years now. Justin and Aaron's discussion of crimes/missing person cases/ mysteries/incidents and accidents is measured and fair, but they call out injustice when they see it, making it clear that they are givibg their own personal opnions and they do not sensationalise. They can be funny and self-deprecating as well as serious and respectful which is a great combination.

Been a listener for years but only recently moved to listening on Audible. I just love the calm easy manner of both hosts. Gently and calmly taking you through some horrific stories. They always make me feel safe even when confronted by the horror of some events. Love this podcast, it truly is one of my favourites.

Easy relationship between co hosts
