Interesting but a bit disjointed
Overall an interesting podcast of a terrible crime. I enjoyed it but This podcast suffers from showing its age in a genre that’s evolving and professionalizing quickly. At times the pacing is too slow and at others very fast. It seems that this was filmed in progress so they needed some fillers and it might have benefitted from being fully scripted. The hosts seem genuinely interested and invested in the case but also clueless and hopelessly naive. They’re shocked that a public defender would try to defend her client? Have no idea what trauma responses are? (The criticisms of their badgering of witnesses who were children are valid and were very uncomfortable) They seem surprised that an FBI agent won’t verbally admit any possible errors. In many ways it seems like they’re new investors having the scales fall from their eyes about the “real world”. The sheer amount of badgering and leading witnesses undermines much of the investigation. This wasn’t biggest issue- almost everyone they talked to could have taken all their cues from them to “remember” specifics

A brilliant podcast. A shocking story of murder that is presented with clarity and humility. If you are new to crime podcast this is perfect way to start.

Stephen Nolan voice the whole anchor style of this is so off putting - BBC really struggles to get podcasting right despite all the resources
