I’ve consumed so many true crime podcasts in the last decade. Seldom do they emotionally impact me anymore. Tears came on often with this one. Skip’s storytelling, the music, the hard and confusing mystery all just punched me in the gut over and over.

I was on the edge of my seat through this entire story. I am disappointed that they never talked about the grand jury. What happened? Why keep talking about the young man’s alleged use of adult incontinence briefs, which is the proper terminology, not diapers! As an adult who has to utilize incontinence briefs, it’s disrespectful to keep referring to them as diapers.

Stories told with grace and dignity that have a fierce poignancy that never fails to provide the true crime lover with a worthy binge.

A very well produced podcast, as all Texas Monthly stories are. But, my god, what a judgmental group of people! That poor kid. Canadian does not sound a warm community at all.

There are several interesting stories here not the least of which is “Tom Browns Body”. You see, while I grew up in No. Va. my Mom was from East Texas, and every month on our coffee table was a fresh copy or Texas Monthly, which I read cover to cover. Wonderful publication. Next, my Sister-in-Law was in the movie industry an attended the Sundance film festival for many years, and her studio bid on Bernie, Skip’s film. So let’s move on! Tom Browns body was incredible in so many ways, and it was my first ever podcast. But I blew through all episodes in two days because it was so intriguing. Skip, the Texas Monthly Crew, producers, etc. we’re amazing. But the story is one you couldn’t make up if you tried. What do they say, “truth is stranger than fiction”. I can’t wait to hear the ultimate truth to this incredible story. All I can say is do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast, you’ll blow through all of the episodes like I did. To Skip, please release a bunch more. What a talent.!

I could and would listen to Skip tell a story about paint drying. It just so happens this story is fascinating. Loved it. I'd give it 14 stars if I could.

I’ve been a true crime buff for years and this was the first Texas Monthly podcast and it kept me in binge mode! What an interesting case with Skip doing a wonderful job of covering all angles! I highly recommend this show and I pray some closure can come to the people of Canadian, Tx and for Toms truth to set him free!

Hard to follow when Episode 6 is missing

I laughed out loud, I sobbed, I gasped. I did so many chores because I couldn’t stop listening to this at night. I hope Skip does more. There were several times I couldn’t tell if I was supposed to be laughing. Mostly at the private investigator. Skip did a stellar job staying neutral but also sending us a few unspoken winks. Amazing how good writing can do that.

This is so well done! Kudos to Skip and the Texas Monthly team for such an intriguing podcast. I thought I was listening to a Who Done It novel. He does a great job of putting it together and narrating the true story. I highly recommend it!
