Love Keith Morisson!

I’m a big fan of Keith Morisson! The way he narrates makes a horrible murder story sounds like a Disney story podcast. Totally love his voice! Any story becomes so interesting when he tells it.

Inappropriate questioning of abuse

Keith Morrison - you’re an adult and should know better. The way you questioned “what kind of abuse” the boy had endured from his father in episode one is so incredibly inappropriate - he has to provide consent to disclose and should have never been put in a situation where he felt like he had to tell you. Unbelievable. Oh and then asking about Tylee too! That’s not his position to be talking about that; ugh. Just ugh.

Listened again and again.

I have now listened to Mommy Doomsday three times through. I’m an enormous fan of the narrator. Binge-worthy and epic.
