Customer Reviews
Wow!
I can’t believe how much I related to her experiences with her father. Mine were so similar, in nearly every way except that my dad isn’t a serial killer, or if he is he hasn’t been caught. Thanks for this- I’ve never heard things quite said this way. It made a lot of sense to me.
Great story, terrible audio
The story is great and I am really enjoying it. But for a product the is 100% audio based, you would think they’d know how to/hire someone to mix it properly?? My volume in the car would be on half or less, listening to someone speak, and then BOOM ear-piercing monotone music that rattles my car. And it wasn’t just once or twice, it happens EVERY EPISODE. There are parts where people are talking while the monotone music is blowing out my eardrums and I skip what they say rather than hear the nonsense. I almost didn’t finish the season because I was getting so annoyed by how often I have to mess with the volume dial. Idk how things like this happen. It’s a podcast! 100% audio-based media! Audio can’t be an issue for the audience!
Interesting but couldn’t finish
Each episode is about 45-55 minutes. But in reality it’s about 15 minutes of actual content. The rest is melodramatic crappy music every time someone finishes speaking. Then 3-4min of ads every 8-10 min. Melissa had another podcast Life After Happy Face and I was really looking forward to that one. The first episode was well set up and riveting. Looks like this one took precedence. Had she stuck with the first podcast and that format I think it could have really took off. Instead I can’t even bother to finish the episodes.
