The rewind noise…whyyyyy?!!!!!!!
First, Great show, it really is.
For the issue, I’m on edge when I listen. I’m just waiting on that horrible rewind noise before a commercial. Please make it stop.
Well done
I moved to the NYC area in the fall of 1976. From Rochester NY. I lived with the fear that gripped the city and was actually in the parking lot on Long Island Berkowitz last cruised days before he was caught. This podcast with Jack’s reporting and insight revealed more about Berkowitz’ psyche than I ever knew before. Makes me wonder how many of these monsters walk amongst us? I look forward to the same depth in examining Mark David Chapman in season 2 of Killer Tapes. (I did read Jack’s book).
Well Done!
I listen to ALL the crime podcasts. This one has truly been the best. Written and produced so well. Appreciate all the work put into it. David’s own words to tell the story make this all truly shocking.
