Customer Reviews
This is art.
First review I've ever left, and I felt compelled to do so because of a negative comment that I read about the story telling. THAT is the podcast. That is what sets it apart. The human thought process behind looking at something so closely that carries so much pain for a family.
Less pontificating please
Compelling material that is completely squashed by a meandering storyteller. This podcast is only 20 minutes long, and half of it is taken up by the narrator's pretentious pontificating. I'd much rather hear from the characters involved in the case than the narrator's bloated description of the landscape or his recurring dream.
Not into it
Ambling, pretentious, vague. I'm listening to this to hear about the family not the narrator's reoccurring dream. The podcast could definitely benefit from longer sound bites from the interviewees and less narrator. Otherwise it sounds like someone who desperately wants a spot on this American life.
