“First, this story is incredibly important for true justice and the lives of those who have been broken on all sides. There’s nothing more gratifying than finding a lost crime that can still be resolved. Also the clarification and making history more accurate and therefore more useful to our present.
My frustration, which I find in so many podcasts, is the assumption that the audience is ignorant and uninformed. Just because the podcaster is not aware of something doesn’t make it necessary to speak to the audience as if they need spoon feeding. It’s the patronizing way that much of what is crucial to this story is conveyed by the narrator. It’s so infuriating to hear the snide judgment calls from these two people before they even spend time learning on their own about the issues that are germane to the story they are trying to tell.
For example after finding this Pandora’s Box they spend, according to them, 4 (not 7, not 12 etc) hours digging through these vintage documents and because the evidence is not immediately clear (which due to their admission of scientific ignorance is not surprising) they leave immediately afterwards doubting the credibility of the woman that they tracked down, not her coming to them with her story, they found her. Then she mentions the documents and miraculously they still exist and they even more miraculously get them without any pushback. Everything this woman has said so far has been true…. Why are they suspiciously doubtful about her?
Anyway, I am only 3 episodes in and even though I want to hear this story from original participants, the snark factor and the “I’m so confused, I can’t be bothered to research basic serological facts, it’s so hard..” nonsense and the assumption that this audience is just as dumb and lame and therefore will somehow relate to her narrative told in this chummy “ha ha, we’re all dumb about this, am I right” manner, obviously I am at least irritated enough to feel compelled to write this out.
Great story, but never patronize your audience or find yourself with the best story in the world but no one wants to listen to you tell it. Stop pretending to be dumb. I hope it’s pretentious. Otherwise…..?”

“Great podcast, thoroughly researched and reported in a very entertaining package. You know how some podcasts are like soap operas, you can walk out of the room for a minute or two and come back and really haven’t missed anything? Not this one. You’ll want to rewind it so you don’t miss a word,...”Read full review »
