Infamous America

I truly enjoyed this very entertaining and informative podcast!! 5 Stars +

This has to be two of the best podcasts of all time, Legends of the old west and Infamous in America are so interesting and well done, I recommend it all my friends and listen to it all the way through and have several times! Thank you Chris!

The way this season is told just perpetuates stereotypes against women. Every accusation is depicted as fact. There are no qualifiers that make it clear that those accusing women are liars or explanations about why they’re lying. It’s all portrayed as if the women truly are witches. I got through two episodes and just couldn’t take any more.

There was a time where there was absolutely two podcasts I couldn’t miss when they came out. This is one of them. I started with the Salem Witch Trial, and wondered where it could go from there. Then they had Black Sox, which was interesting even though I’m not a baseball fan. Over the years, there has been so many great episodes. I probably need to revisit some of them. Leopold and Loeb is the only one that made me nauseous, because Chris Wimmer is that good of a story teller. I’ll be honest, one of the things that annoys me is when Chris is talking about the podcast and suddenly goes into how great Hello Fresh is. There is no pause to indicate a commercial is coming up and he never says there will be a break. I feel like there use to be a pause, and am wondering if it’s a ploy to get people to subscribe to ad-free. I also prefer the stuff before 1950’s, usually, though like I said, all of these podcasts are good. I keep hoping he will go to back to things like the Roanoke Island disappearances, the World Fair murderer (H.H. Holmes), the Underground Railroad, or The Beautiful Cigar Girl. After all these years, I still really like this podcast, even with the ads breaking my flow. I get excited every time there is a new season. I just wish we could go back to the 17th-19th centuries once in a while.
