Bait and switch

These reviews are for Dirty John, but the podcast has been rebranded and is now a ripoff of Crimes of the Centuries, a long established crime and history podcast that has even covered some of the same cases. It seems unsavory to reuse a popular podcast feed to rip off someone else’s work.
Disappointed

I really enjoyed Dirty John but am disappointed that this feed has now been taken over by a completely different podcast that sounds just like so many others right now. I know it’s the same host so I would have loved more content in the vein of Dirty John.
Revictimizing the victims?

Just listened to the episode of The Dream podcast that does a deep dive into how Dirty John was actually made. It certainly appears that the LA Times and Goddard misrepresented and took advantage of their subjects here. Now I feel a little dirty for being complicit by listening in on a story that in retrospect clearly did not center the victim’s experience.
