First degree murder as liberation?
The narrator posits that when her marriage failed, “this anti-feminist self-liberated herself from [her desire for a perfect traditional marriage], you might say.” No I’m pretty sure I’d never say that, never equate murdering two ppl in cold blood with “self-liberation.” The music cues are bonkers and excessive. The cultural references are squarely boomer-centric, which is fine in and of itself, but they’re delivered with a lack of awareness that the culture itself (and true crime in particular) is no longer boomer-centric. This case is treated like The Case of the Century, and the center of cultural conversations about murder, and it prob was at one time. But not sure if the current true crime audience is coming to this story from that frame of reference and it would be better served to think about today’s context.

I heard about this story last week on Martinis and Murder so I needed to know more. Great podcast, good pacing, informative and keeps the anticipation!

The writing is obnoxiously drawn out and dances around the story. Not even sure if I’ll keep listening. Far and away the worst pod from the LA Times.
