Interesting

This is a very interesting podcast. Narration as always with dateline is great. However, this could have been 3 episodes.

Compelling but insensitive and inappropriate tone

This is a terribly sad story in which two young lives are tragically ended for reasons the podcast is unable to answer. The tone of the narrators delivery felt far too jokey and light hearted for the subject matter.

Annoying as heck

I cannot stand listening to fake 1980s “drama voices”. It’s so irritating and distracting. Just talk normally!! I’m sure you don’t speak to your family with all those pauses and dramatics. If you do, I bet they don’t look forward to Christmas lunch!
