Enjoy the content
But their audio issues need to be addressed. I’ve listened to quite a few episodes, and they really need to fix the problem of talking at length at the same time. Perhaps they have…in which case, great!
Could be better..
I would have rated it 5 stars because I love the in depth of the stories but my gosh the guy keeps cutting her off as she’s talking and it’s very annoying.
Very disappointing coverage of the JonBenet Ramsey case
The podcasters sadly continue the insinuations that the family was involved based on their faulty understanding of the case. For just one example, they say six handwriting experts thought Patsy wrote the ransom note. The six experts chosen by the Boulder police all thought that she didn’t write it. If you want a better discussion of the case, listen to The Prosecutors and the Mombies (esp episode 4) podcasts. Before blaming the parents, consider that after the blow to the head she was alive and had no marks on her. The skull fracture was only discovered at autopsy. For all the parents could have known, she could have had a concussion and could have recovered.
