Customer Reviews
Interesting Topic, nice pacing
Love this podcast! If you are looking for an investigative, true crime but not gruesome, well produced, documentary style podcast to listen to while doing the dishes, this is a good one.
Love it
Love it! The podcast is so well researched. I learned a lot! I’m hoping for more content soon!
More great reporting from Ben Lewis
This podcast is up there with everything else Lewis has written and produced. Impeccably researched and constructed episodes. This is accessible to anyone outside the art world but incredibly knowledgeable and insightful about it as well. I was amazed but not surprised that he got these insiders to go on record, but he does it every time. It’s got suspense and a keen sense of humor. I’m hooked on this.
