“The narration was banal and needlessly slow, with no apparent redeeming resolution to the story. When she mis-pronounced ‘scion’ (with a hard c) it reinforced my feeling that this journalistic exercise was thin indeed.”

“Mismatch between story and the story teller? It’s like a b movie. She takes strange sultry pauses— hard to follow, even though it’s slow moving. Over handed, off putting audio. Nothing fits in this one. Weird but not good weird!”

“What an amazing story, it’s fascinating, the host does an amazing job of telling the story and the interviews give the human side to what is an unbelievable true story. It’s heart breaking but full of strength, love and family bonds
I can’t recommend this enough”

“An intriguing story which makes us ponder how and where myth, reality and fact intersect, blend and overlap. Most admirable journalism.
I do wish the NYTs would leave off with the artificiality of the big music on their podcasts. It seems as if they don’t believe the story worthy enough to hold...”Read full review »

“How could a person write a story so obviously for her own benefit and at the detriment of a family so broken by history and mental illness? She even hints at acknowledging her selfish intent. But never apologizes and speculates the “story” will continue to be told despite her hand in exposing the...”Read full review »

Their journey and individual stories are layered with complexity & fascination. And yet also utter heartbreaking. I left the pod...”Read full review »

Such a shame the podcast only scratched the surface and left so many questions unanswered. I don’t understand so many parts as it completely jumped from the beginning to the end of the story.
How did she find the missing brother? When did Silas die, how? What happened to...”Read full review »
