Concerned, not impressed
There were many things about the first episode that concerned me and I won’t be listening again. It seems more like those YouTube compilation videos of “10 worst myths” or whatever and nothing like journalism. Did you try to interview anyone who was a child in the 70’s or 80’s who might have given you a clearer perspective of the stranger danger? I grew up in the Bay Area of CA in the 80’s and can cite several famous stranger kidnappings from that time. The way it affects me and others my age was serious and your tone felt so mocking, not curious, not explanatory, mocking. Also, Etan Patz’s last name is pronounced with a long A, and Des Moines is pronounced “de- moyne”

This is a great show. It is stories from my youth. I love how they are dismantled. Look forward to the future shows.

Loved these first episodes! Gives me all the pleasures of MFM but with more incisive cultural critiques and connections — looking forward to more
