“I enjoyed this podcast once it really got started and I got used to the presentation style. I enjoy this sort of podcast style with interviews and field work and the narration with a hint of humor. I had never heard of this case before so it was intriguing and I appreciate the amount research and investigation work done on this. I didn’t have issues hearing the guest interviews or the hosts while driving.
That said, the first episode and a half are a little slow and more of a teaser. If I weren’t driving a long trip, I might have dropped it but it did pick up later when they started to describe the family and follow a more linear timeline from there. I agree with a lot of other reviews that there is something off about the hosts’ delivery. They are clearly reading from a script (probably to avoid talking over each other and to avoid tangents and excess chatter) but they sound very unnatural and robotic like they are not actually recording together and reading the script for the first time. It is jarring. Their “field interviews” are much more natural sounding. (Epic Jersey slide!)”
