Customer Reviews
Respectfull, thoughtful, and thorough podcast
Yay you’re back !!
I tried …
Update: My first review was from more than 2 years ago. I kept the podcast in my feed because I’m willing to give another try after some time. Well, I tried again and I find the same observations I made previously. The host covers stories not likely to be heard on other shows, but still has not learned the art of editing interviews. They drag on and on and on. This time I’m out - removing from my feed.
Original review:
I listened to more than half the seasons, and tried to listen to some others, but ultimately I have to give up on this podcast. Some seasons are better than others. The downfalls are 1) interviews that drag on and on and on (other podcasters edit to hit the relevant points) and 2) the host dragging on and on with her theories. I like multi-episode series, but this just moves way too slow. I appreciate hearing about crimes not covered elsewhere, but I can’t anymore with this one.
Fierce Emma
My heart broke for Emma, as you told her story I could not help the tears that rolled down my cheeks for Emma and all of her siblings. So strong and rightly angry at the decisions of the adults around her and yet just a vulnerable and traumatized kid in the end. Godspeed Emma.
