“Thank you for the excellent coverage & scope of this true story. I was a model & actress in NYC when this story broke & was so saddened as well as shocked by it. I knew that this career was temporary for me as I did not like it much. Fortunately I had a college degree & other...”Read full review »

“It deserves less stars, but I gave it at least 3 for Dorothy’s story (even though she deserves more stars).
I do not like how this story is told! It makes it sound cheesy. I don’t think they did this story or Dorothy justice.
I am on the 4th episode and will try and finish it. I just really...”Read full review »

“Had never heard this story at all & this was an interesting way to listen to it. Really enjoyed the story telling format of this podcast rather than listening to it reportage style.
This of course does mean the storytelling aspect means it may not be for people who prefer just the facts laid...”Read full review »

“This is a well written podcast, but I couldn’t get past episode four because the person voicing Ryan has such a grating voice. I understand it’s supposed to sound probably sleazy and suspicious, but it did not work for me.”

“When I realized this was more of a narrative/story telling rather than “just the facts,” I didn’t think I’d like it…but I was enthralled from the beginning. Josh Lucas is excellent! Story so tragic and the many opportunities where Dorothy may have been spared.”

It’s not typically my area of interest. However, I found her story to be inspiring yet, incredibly...”Read full review »

“I was in high school when Dorothy was murdered, and I remember the story by Vincent Canby in the NYT titled Star 80, that spawned the movie with Eric Roberts and was stunned by the gruesome details and the sheer volume of people who failed her at every turn; so I felt this podcast would be a...”Read full review »

I’m thinking maybe Snider is a...”Read full review »

“This is a captivating story, coming from someone who was not born until the 90s.
