Customer Reviews
So Hollywood. So fascinating!!
Wow. This podcast was captivating. Very old. Very Hollywood. I love how factual Scott made every detail about Beth Short… Black Dahlia, carrying us as the audience through her life as a beautiful journey that ended horrifically. Very poetic and well spoken. Mesmerizing.
Scott’s take
It would be a fantastic podcast if he didn’t go off the walls so much! Each episode Scott brings facts which is excellent but he goes off the rails constantly on other stories and it makes it so hard to follow. He should do different episodes on each murder he describes.
Can’t stop won’t stop
I am not normally a huge true crime fan, but this podcast takes the best parts of mystery- the drama, the flair, and the suspense- and combines it with film noir and iconic LA history. It is the perfect companion on my daily commute. I can’t wait for the rest of the episodes to be released.
