This is like my 3rd time listening to this podcast, so clearly I enjoy it (while agreeing with all comments about the women’s voices and Debra and Arlane’s delusions). But for the love, who edited these security ads literally mid sentence multiple times per episode?! It’s so distracting and could have been done so much better. Cmon Wondery.
The ads are f’d up

Podcast is fine, but how incredibly manipulative and messed up to play home security ads in the middle of a story about stalking!

Great storytelling, but man, is it manipulative to intersperse home security ads while the victims are describing their fear mid-sentence.
