PERFECTION
The entire production is a perfect mix of story-telling, first-person narratives, dramatization, and music. Ive long been intrigued about the Yuba County Five mystery, and this Podcast compiles details not covered by other broadcasts.
A bit of padding in the content great show
Too much recap/preview of other episodes for my liking but that’s my only criticism. Shannon McGarvey always brings a level of humility and humanity to her work and doesn’t make the cases about herself or discuss things in an insensitive way. So nice they were able to talk to family members for the show. I hope this can get solved but I’m skeptical the men were met with foul play, so I don’t know if anyone really knows why they ended up that mountain :(. Hope I’m wrong and someone figures this out.
Very Well Done
Amazing
