“I have some vague memories of the news of Bambi Bembenek, though I was in middle and high school when her case was happening. This perspective is an intriguing reminder of how few years ago it was that women were so blatantly discriminated against and it’s my belief that she was framed and didn’t...”Read full review »

“The story is compelling but a mistake that big making it into episode 8 was honestly shocking to me. What else wasn’t fact checked???? I’m questioning the journalistic integrity of the host and those involved.”

“I stumbled across this podcast and I am glad that I did. The podcast puts things into perspective. It was well thought out, well investigated and well told. This podcast gives Lori Bembenek justice.”

“As a midwesterner, I couldn’t believe I had not heard of this story. Appreciated all of the descriptions of the Milwaukee in the 80s. I enjoyed the quick pace. As for the story itself, pretty wild. Consider this more of an in depth look at Laurie Bembenek and her experience with the Milwaukee PD...”Read full review »

“Overall an excellent story. Grigorious is one of the best. HOWEVER.... Despite the laborious effort to set this story in the context of the struggle for equal rights and changing mores of the time .... the narrator consistently calls the grown-up, profesional and worldly protagonist "just a...”Read full review »

“Who cares how she looks? That is all the pod talks about, sadly. Also, too much social commentary. Just tell the story! I could not even finish it.”

“I really enjoyed this podcast and love the narrator she did an amazing job. And Kris radish seems really cool. Great story about a woman who had the courage to stick up for herself and other women back then. Most women never got a fair deal and we still don’t but especially back then and to...”Read full review »

“I’m sure the show is a fascinating story but I’ll never know because the inanity of the host made this one unlistenable. “She was, like, you know! A hot deer.” What the heck? Unfortunately really obnoxious.”

“Overall this was decently told and kept your interest. I docked it 1 star in my rating due to the clear bias that came through frequently, that Bambi was really a near-genius level intellect whose only problems in life came from oppressive men who were out to get her. No troubles she faced were a...”Read full review »

“This is a great story and I was really intrigued by it. I thought that it would get better and the narrator would grow on me, but she really tells the story in a less engaging way. I lost interest after Episode 4, where the previous Apple Original I couldn’t wait for the next episode.”

“I really like the story but the narrator is kind of bothering me - it’s like she’s reading a cheesy gossip column in Cosmo, not a murder cop mystery. Also I’m on esp 4 - what is with the Halloween-clown-town-funhouse music ?! Distasteful…… It’s bumming me out. I’m going to finish this podcast but...”Read full review »

I’m not a fan of that vibe, I want the story. This feels way less indulgent than most others I’ve listened to recently, has...”Read full review »

“I’m currently at episode 4 and the amount of accusations being thrown around without quoting the source is starting to piss me off. I’ll keep listening because it’s an intriguing story, but so far it comes off as completely speculative.”
