The Fall Line: True Crime

This show shines a light that needs to be shone. Sensitive and truthful. My thanks for your compassionate reporting. Jane Grace, Canberra, Australia

Episode 1 of the murder of Travis’s Smith was dragged out to the extreme. For example, when the host was talking about Travis’s Twitter posts on the night he was murdered she talked for ages about the difficulty they had in finding his tweets. On and on about how Twitter works, and how hard it was to search through all the tweets by people with the surname Smith. It sounded like she was explaining that they couldn’t provide the tweets for this episode. Then she revealed that Travis’s friend was able to provide them the tweets. And finally she read them out. Like pulling teeth! Although the host has a pleasant sounding voice, it is a bit monotone. And because she talks so much and barely pauses, I found it started to became exhausting to listen to. If episode 2 is as drawn out as episode 1 was I’ll have to pass on this pod, sorry.

Little research, dubious ethics

Good pods cast, only problem some of the people that they speak to are hard to understand. Also a few to many advertisements.
