Great listen

I was intrigued by the opening intro and so glad I listened to this story. I truly believe that this was a coverup by the company and the OKC police dept. The company had too much to lose if the information got out. This woman was murdered to keep her quiet. It may be hard to prove, but there are just too many obvious reasons that point to it. being
Mehh

I think the story is fascinating, but how this podcast is set up doesn’t do it for me. It’s just two guys telling a story, with some live convos here and there. I don’t like how they finish each others sentences, makes it kinda cheesy. I feel like if the guy with the deeper voice talked normally it would be better. Seems like he tries to hard to make it so mysterious.
I was at trial

I have enjoyed this podcast immensely. I was a court artist for the Karen Silkwood trial and I was in that courtroom every day for 11 weeks. This was so fascinating to revisit all the people that took part in that trial, the lawyers, the judge, the witnesses, and the men in gray! I went back and looked at my court with sketches with fond, but sad memories of the story.
Interesting

I decided to check out this podcast only because I saw the name Kerr-McGee. They use to have a facility in West Chicago, Illinois and used all of their radioactive dirt as “fill dirt” as soil for new neighborhoods in the area, and people started getting sick, dying, and pets as well. I’m only on episode 1, but it great so far. These investigators should also look into the KM WC story.
