First of all, Heidi A+++++ FIVE STARS. On a SCALE 1-10, 10 being the best, you get 100. I loved this true crime story. Not the crime, obviously, but the way you dropped us into the story. So as you were narrating, I felt like I was in an open air tour bus, with a group of crime story writers and we were in the story. I live outside of Portland, a newbie, originally from Carmel, Ca., and as i listened to your podcast, i felt like bragging to my author friends back home, that “this happened only a town over ! And I’ve driven by where it happened!!” It really is so surreal. You and everyone involved in assembling this story for your podcast, did a fabulous job! In fact I sent your story and podcast to a friend of mine, also an author, whose husband is a famous child actor. They love stories like this. And I sent to many of my friends on Facebook..many best selling authors … I know they will follow you, like I’m doing. Thank you for such a well done story. I look forward for your next one ! By the way, I found an excerpt from Nancy’s , “From My Navel to my Knees” and oh my gosh, it was published in 2012 but it was made for TODAY…all about women’s rights ! Have a wonderful week!

Good story, boring delivery

The story of Nancy is made for podcasts, and it feels like this particular podcast wasted it with mediocre writing and narration. It’s fine, but could have been SO MUCH better if the pacing, suspense, and character development were better executed.
Enjoyable presentation of a crazy story

Some very harsh critics here, almost feels like astroturfing. I enjoyed everything about the script and presentation. I especially liked the dramatization of Nancy’s books and the tie ins. Makes for a unique true crime experience.
Unbearable to listen to

Poor story telling in the beginning and overbearing/way too frequent sound design made this show feel very hollow. I had to literally stop listening because it was irritating to listen to.
