“The case was interesting, but it felt like the host didn’t really fact check a number of claims that people speaking to him made. Maybe he did but if so it wasn’t really in the podcast. My takeaway here is that almost no one in this podcast is a reliable narrator although it doesn’t seem like the case against Chapel is very sure. I would’ve also liked to have seen it explore a little less of the conspiracy idea of the prosecution and more of the momentum idea - often it seems like cases like this get a little momentum toward one suspect and then it becomes about finding all the corroborating evidence. It’s not really a conspiracy (which is hard to prove) as much as it is myopia. Unfounded conspiracy claims just make the podcast seem less grounded.”
