The Minds of Madness - True Crime Stories

I listened to this on the treadmill. I prefer this type of podcast when I'm exercising or doing chores, while it other times I enjoy a one voice narrative. I appreciate the contributions from loved ones and those involved in the legal aspects of the case, as well as others. My hope is that these are ethically sourced and that the feelings of the families are always approached with sensitivity. I appreciate how the cases are presented. There is always complexity to be considered. The recent case of the young man who killed his adoptive parents is an example. I wish the podcast had done a little more to address the topic of adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and attachment. I believe well-intentioned parents seeking to adopt a child are not always given enough information about the realities of children who have experienced loss and lived and orphanages. Giving these kids love and opportunities is not going to easily fix those realities. I don't know enough to say what went on in this case and agree that it is tragic. What he did was entirely wrong but the narrative that he was simply ungrateful to the parents who gave him everything is a bit simplistic also. These types of adoptions can be extremely complicated and all the inspiration and expectation that goes along with them is not necessarily helpful. This is one of many interesting cases presented on this podcast and it is nice not to get yet another repackaging of cases that have already been covered repeatedly.

Became instant fan of your show years ago. One of my favorites for sure. I usually skip through everything after the story ends, but NO MORE! That closing track is so wicked-good! Love it. Any way to listen to a complete version of that song? And who is the artist behind that insane voice?

Been enjoying the show since the beginning. Closing track has me rewinding and playing over and over. We need a full track available for download… please

Disagree about the voice. It’s a classic, like the late Wm. Pierce of the Boston S.O. He should be the voice of the Toronto Symphony. Good writing, narrative. Choice of stories is less covered/ familiar. Growth in interviews with LE, interested/involved parties, recordings. More immediate and less opinion than most. Go you Tyler.
