Customer Reviews
Pretty good podcast.
If you ignore the ads and actually listen to the story you’d see the the podcast is very good. I understand that ads can be annoying at times but if you watched breaking bad before it went on Netflix then you would be saying the same thing. BUT, ads don’t make the show a bad one and sometime you have to look past them.
disappointed
I was excited going into this, but by episode three realized this was going to be way too drawn out—not good storytelling. Each episode was so repetitive it got to be ridiculous. I couldn’t make it past season 1 episode 7…..ended up heading to print articles and Wikipedia. What a wasted opportunity to make a good series.
Really boring and very monotonous….
This podcast really is hard to stay focused on. Clearly this podcast is just getting any and all information and presenting it. Really very little to do with the massacre. It just seems they tried to get a long podcast for money. It’s kind of sad really and it’s also terribly boring to listen to. The presenter that narrates the podcast is really boring and seems would be better tasked putting people to sleep. I would never listen to this podcast it’s really a waste of a lot of time.
