To think someone can operate openly without consequences is naive. When you fly to close to the sun, you will get burnt. It’s pretty obvious she was a informant, it’s happens, everyone has a snitch list.

The refreshing candor of daughter-mother, Jamie and Karen as they revisit a fascinating time and place in American history hits so many high notes as they take you on a journey of a watershed period in their lives.

A fascinating mystery podcast but so much more! Truly a captivating portrayal of a time and place in American history that I did not know about, but instantly wanted to learn more. The story unfolds in a beautiful way, great music, great interviews, but grounded by Karen and Jamie’s personal...Read full review »

The story of Marsha is fascinating— what a character! I appreciated how the narrators’ understanding of her evolved from “Coolest Person Ever & Radical Saint” to a more nuanced picture: a powerful, kind, beloved, but real and flawed woman who got into some kind of bad trouble. Where the...Read full review »

I expected to hear more about Marsha’s actual disappearance, about the people she interacted with leading up, and the facts of her case. Instead this was a podcast of random people who knew Marsha reminiscing about how much drugs and sex they had in the 80s.

Brought me back to my youth living communally without TV. I could identify with a lot of this story. I hope that someone is able to add to what ever happened to Marsha!

Privileged “counter culture” boomer reflects on how cool she and her people were all while failing to actually investigate what happened to her good friend who disappeared.
AmbahJ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/23
This podcast is so engaging; the investigation is fascinating, but the design and the style of storytelling are what’s making me hit move to the next episode as soon as I finish one. It’s an amazing experience to follow along.

Loved the dynamic mother-daughter hosts telling the story of this flawed and complex character that is Marsha. Wish we would know what happened to her but sometimes in real life we just don’t get to know. Still a fascinating journey! Well done!

Loved the mother/ daughter relationship...the honesty about a very different place and time was raw, sometimes shocking, but beautifully described. They strung together the interviews and commentary very effectively. Highly recommend.

Hard to capture this time period but these hosts did a great job. Would love to hear more from the mother daughter team. People are definitely complicated!

Got this recommendation from Stephen King’s tweet. Great story! Love the mother daughter hosts.
Tweetrec via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/23
No greater praise than one from the legend himself! I’m only 3 episodes in but I will be finishing the rest today…shortly in fact! I’ll be recommending this to everyone.

This missing person was not as interesting as these women think she was. Also, I have grown weary of all the podcasts aiming to solve a mystery that clearly won’t and don’t. Then we all have to pretend that the journey is the destination.
Heyyy67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/23
Thorough deep dive into the back to the land movement in West Virginia in the 1970s and 80s with a true crime hook. Fun story! This would make a great tv show
BKlisten via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/23
Love the sound of this pod, and it brings something new with the mother-daughter relationship
VZ_320 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/23
What a wonderful show! It really transports you to different place and time. Jamie and Karen were great hosts, and I love that this is a true crime podcast that actually feels compassionate and nuanced. Jamie and Karen knew and cared for Marsha, and it’s a nice change from the often exploitative...Read full review »

So much more than just true crime. The story of Marsha and Jamie and Karen - loved learning about counter culture West Virginia
Mich Dale via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/23
Craving more! I grew up with a hippie (single) mom. I can relate to this. I totally raised my kids opposite of how I was raised. But even if you didn’t have a hippie mom or hippie parents, doesn’t matter. LISTEN TO THIS. Takes a lot to keep my attention. But this does it in a lighthearted way....Read full review »

This podcast draws you in immediately with the warm connection and ease between mother and daughter and continues mounting intrigue as we learn more each time about the colorful star, Marsha, and what exactly she was keeping from her friends and loved ones. Bonus if you love hearing about life on...Read full review »

The NYT picked this as one of their top podcasts of the year? What? Completely unmemorable. Not particularly well done. The episodes drag on, don’t present much new information. I struggled through the first few but found it pretty boring and wont be finishing. Waste of time.
KathanMat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/23
How many podcasts start off about a 'missing person' (true crime... ?) and are able to weave Jello Biafra from DK along with wild stories (the laced coffee at a Klan meeting is brilliant!)? Could they have nipped and tucked the whole podcast by at least a full episode? Oh yeah. Still a...Read full review »

What a useless pointless waste of time. Self indulgent podcast.
like satie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/23
I like the hosts, but each episode is so drawn out and it doesn’t really make much sense, she’s missing, she sold drugs, the end
Keyta7777 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/22
Really beautiful storytelling, and so interesting. It’s a great story with the added bonus of a mother and daughter telling it for a dynamic layer.
AnnieRuthie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/22
Very well done!

Great quality, intelligent, informed women talking about really interesting things. Fab!!!

Listened to it in a work day. Entertaining, fresh .
ZBUteGuy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/22
Retread 60’s stories. Time better spent would be listening to Steppenwolf live. Unrepentant stoners. WTH. Getting wasted with your kids around.
Billy1790 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/22
There are so many levels to the story. The 70s/80s hippie culture, motherhood, drugs, activism, friendship, and of course mystery. I wish I could listen to this for the first time again.
Dedemario via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
The hosts bring their hearts and memories with them as they take us on a search for answers about the disappearance of a real force of nature. I remember this time frame and hearing about communes and “back to the earth” movement. Thank you for bringing this story about Marsha to the forefront.
ursula.s via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/22
Good story, held my attention. Not interested in listening to promos for other non true crime podcasts, especially those with a political slant. Otherwise, good job!
NJmyers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/22
Good listen. The answer seems very clear
Daytime Ri via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/22
Not a true crime podcast …. It’s a cultural reminiscing of the 70’s and a failed culture , the poor lady that went missing , this doesn’t help her one iota
COWBOY68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/22
Profound Complex pod cast
Tami Kashia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/22
This was a really interesting, thought-provoking, nuanced and well done podcast, which explored the disappearance of their family friend as well as their experience with the 1960’s back-to-the-land movement. Great conversation starter for mothers and daughters!
NanMercado via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/22
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I was young during those times and it was interesting to go back. Marsha was one of a kind and it was interesting to see her different fastest.
Madeline Marie Jones via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/22
Really enjoying the story and really wanted an MMM bucket hat. Are there any plans to ship merch outside the US?
rinaferris via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/10/22
I loved the way this podcast was done. Sound quality and speaking was very clear. I never lost track of the story.
vandrea10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/22
The missing lady must have had quite the personality. Because she is revered for…doing drugs, opening a bar for friends which failed financially and supposedly did volunteer work at a prison only to get matched up with a prisoner selling cocaine. Then she gets into a drug deal and goes missing....Read full review »

Marsha’s story is a trippy-hippie tale of wonders. All of the loved ones in this show explain details and memories of Mudd in a way you can identify with. Long Live Marsha!
Izybelll via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/22
This show is about so much more than a missing person. It’s so well done and well researched. The interviews of all the people who knew Marsha give a very complex picture of her. It reminds me that we’re not just good or just bad, you can’t simplify the complex and jump to judgment. I love true...Read full review »

It was good! Got to episode 6 and got fed up with the feminist agenda.
theidtsveiz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/22
I’m so glad I happened upon this podcast while looking for a new true story to dive into! The interviews are great and storytelling really takes you right into the world of Marsha “Mudd” Ferber and friends.
JayceeSinclair via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
My Uncle and Aunt went to WVU during the time frame when the disappearance happened so I felt a special attachment to this podcast. It was so very well related that I had goosebumps during several parts of this. The connections that the ladies make with past, current and new people during their...Read full review »

Well produced, great story, I love this period piece. Also love that there is not a lot of darkness. Definitely an enjoyable listen!
Grace Y G via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/22
I loved how Karen and Jaime combined true crime with personal stories. It added such dimension to the podcast. I actually wanted to know as much about their back-to-the-land experience as I did about Marsha Ferber’s disappearance.
deefia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/22
I really enjoyed this podcast. It was a very honest and real podcast!
podcast club member via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/22
I finally stumbled upon this podcast…maybe it was the name? And my search for people who carried dark secrets and came up missing and/or presumed dead? This mother/daughter team does a great job in telling the story and weaving the present with the past. A true pleasure to listen to!
