Fascinating subject, terrible podcast

“I feel like this is a great story that is in the hands of not great storytellers. There’s a TON of repeat information, and then at times there are really important bits of info missing, or told in a convoluted way. There’s a lot of lazy production. I’ll try to avoid spoilers, but for example, we hear a whole episode with a knot expert and the teacher. Then, in a later episode we hear a phone call between the teacher and a woman, where the knots are brought up but it’s from before the teacher had the conversation with the knot expert. So they are talking about stuff we already have more info about and know that what they are saying is incorrect/inaccurate. So, why include that part of the phone call? Edit it out. And that’s just one example of many.
And I respect letting people tell their stories and speak the way they naturally speak, but you can help them out a little. You don’t need to include every tangent and stumble. And you can certainly edit the way they tell their story so that it makes sense to listeners chronologically.
I also heard a few times where a sound bite is used as if it’s part of one conversation and then reused as if it’s part of another conversation.
And finally, I kind of feel like the students didn’t really do much. Basically, the teacher’s expert guest came in and was like, “probably a truck driver,” and then it’s presented like the students put it all together to come up with that. Again, just one of many instances where I felt this. Maybe I’m wrong and they contributed a lot more, but it didn’t seem presented that way.
It’s like the producers have an idea of what a true crime podcast should sound like and they are doing their best to imitate it, but it ends feeling like just a really bad imitation.”

“This was supposed to be about how some high school students cracked a murder case?
All I hear is Alex Campbell trying to become famous with one of the worst interviews ever. Very disingenuous. The poor survivor was treated badly .”
