Customer Reviews
Insightful and thorough narrative documentary
I’ve been enjoying listening to this thorough and insightful podcast documentary. The delve into the spirit of the times, cultural and societal environment, and Manson’s early development and influences is fascinating.
Nothing occurs in a vacuum, it is said; this podcast shows this is unhurried detail. The various influences of Nazarene religiosity, the prison-industrial complex, Scientology, even Dale Carnegie’s school (though, I’d argue that Carnegie doesn’t emphasize that everything boils down to sex and personal desire—rather, sincerity, which Manson even tells Tom Snyder that he used as a cynical tool, in his late ‘70s interview). The music and hippie elements, hammered by Bugliosi are shown to be less powerful forces than widely assumed. Manson used them for convenience, but really wasn’t part of either movement.
I’ve only listened to two episodes thus far, but eagerly anticipate the remaining podcasts. Exceptional job! I’m suggesting the show to friends and family.
Would be better as a book.
While the host clearly has done a lot of research and provides great detail, this would probably be better as a book. It actually sounds like Karina is reading a book that she wrote. Full of detail, but many parenthetical details mid-sentence that become hard to follow and disrupt the flow of spoken narrative. Podcasts should not be spoken essays, but more story-telling and conversational, like Serial. Overall not bad. I am learning a lot, but I don't think this will hold my attention until the end.
Hey I was thinking of going out there for the
I’m not sure what to tell her I don’t think she’s doing that but I’m going back to her room to do it for the day or something like that I just need a few minutes
