Ransom

After re-listening to the first episode, got hooked and binged it while I gardened and ran errands today. I have really enjoyed the production of this podcast and am now memorized by the narrator’s soft easy listening, great story telling voice. Bravo.

I listen to a lot of true crime, and a fair amount of true crime out of Texas. I was surprised to find a story relatively “recent” that I hadn’t heard covered by another Podcaster. I appreciated the research and the participation of people involved. I will say that the bonus episodes from the producer I could’ve completely done without. I even skipped one or two of them. I’m not sure what production experience he has, but his interview technique came across as kind of amateur. 😬 His tone lacked confidence and his questions weren’t delivered with the type of storytelling skill shown by someone “in the business”.

Such a sad, compelling story. I can’t believe how much airtime the author of the book got. He sounds like he was seriously hoodwinked by the murderer and sadly, we had to listen to way too much of his piffle.
