Shattered Souls

I’m a huge fan of true crime podcasts and this one is high on my list of favorites! I love how Karen unpacks the technical details but doesn’t forget to tell the story… and the story is so good! Completely hooked and can’t wait for more!

These folks are from my town and I heard about this podcast from one of my favorite podcast hosts so I was really hoping to like the show. I realize it’s not on anymore but I have to say that the way they talk about people with substance use disorders is horrible. I really wonder if the drug epidemic has not affected them and they have developed some empathy… but it’s unfortunate that someone with a history of drug use or a loved one of a person who does has to listen to their judgement. Otherwise it’s a good show but I can’t listen. It’s too bad. Hopefully they have learned something since. Substance use can affect anyone.

The Car Barn Murders version of the podcast is dull. And will it ever end!? She’s gone on and on with a narrative that’s difficult to follow sometimes. She’d have been better off making this a book; it would be very successful. I’m on the episode after she’s handed it off to the listeners for a verdict. At this point I’m just listening to see how it ends. I lost interest in the case long ago. Why am I still listening? Curiosity mostly. I prefer the old format when she discussed her Jacksonville cases. I lived there for 20 years and I guarantee there are 20 years worth of podcasts with all the crime that happened there.
