“I picture Josh Lucas in the recording studio and pausing at every other line to ask, “and you’re sure this is right…?”. Only to be told that 2 fourteen year old girls were hired to write it and the only direction they were given was “Make it reeeal sophisticated… You know, like how grown ups...”Read full review »

“I love true crime and don’t like leaving bad reviews, BUT omg SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME. The writing was so brain-numbingly vapid, I couldn’t get through it without skipping the last episodes. It’s AI-cyborg-algorithm-filler meets knockoff 60 minutes. Skip this & go listen to ‘Stolen: Surviving...”Read full review »

“Had never heard of Bonny Lee or Robert Blake before listening to this podcast. I was truly hooked though!! Sad that a woman (or any one for that matter) could be so obsessed with being “famous” or married to a celebrity that they lose all sense of self and of reality. Spoiler alert ***
I think...”Read full review »

“Brilliantly written, Josh Lucas and Tracy Pattin are well chosen as cast. The build up episodes to what came to paints a terribly captivating picture of tragedy and conspiracy.”

“The story is interesting and well written but I didn’t care for the voices of the narrators. They were too contrived to sound like hard reporters which I think was unnecessary.”

“I appreciate the way that the story was told. Respectful of the victim and family, but still using partial re-enactments to keep the story moving along. Using recordings when available, and trial transcripts. Great job, as I’ve come to expect from wondery.”

“Tragic story about the two main characters. Sad that he was minding his own business and gets conned with a desperate ending. Sad that a baby was used to close the con. I felt for Bonnie whom was clearly lost in life and I felt that it’s so sad that the killer or killers got away with it. Well...”Read full review »

case bankrupted the old man is a tragedy. Bonnie Lee was a con-woman, & Brando was in LA, had time, and more than enough opportunity. Civil trials are...”Read full review »
