Ads really affect the flow of otherwise good series.

Great storytelling, interesting interviews. The amount and frequency of ads were very jarring though, and interrupted the flow. Possibly could have been 2-3 episodes shorter too.

Decent but little slow and way too many ads.

Good podcast. I want to hear the story but the amount of ads make it almost not worth listening too as it feels like you don’t get much out of the episodes.

I cannot believe the amount of ads on this podcast! It’s sick. You’re talking about such a horrific story and grieving family then every 2 minutes there is upbeat music and 3 minutes of ads. So distasteful and disturbing.
I truly hope the family are okay after being taken advantage of by this podcast for advertising revenue
