Great
Story’s great, sounds are sometimes too loud or too soft but it’s not too bad overall honestly. One thing annoying is that there’s quite literally like 12 minutes of ads each episode, it’s nuts! And to the guy who can’t imagine how they actually make the sounds for the woman struggling through the mental asylum, you’re totally missing the point of the show. Every episode starts with a little piece about how bad the institutions and their practices were back then, this show serves as a reminder of how horrible they were and what methods we should avoid in psychiatric treatment. Yeah, they’re gonna record some uncomfortable sounds, if you can’t deal with that, don’t listen to the show. The description and trigger warnings are there, if you choose to proceed or just straight up ignore them, that’s 100% on you, not the sound editor, not the advertisers, not the writers, not the producers. You. This show tells you a million times in a million different ways that it can be difficult for some listeners, if you still choose to proceed, there’s no one to blame except for you when it gets to be too much for your ears. The show isn’t bad or poorly written or poorly designed or poorly produced or poorly mixed because you couldn’t handle some of the sounds they put in to the show. Don’t blame the show because you’re too mentally feeble or ignore trigger warnings. The warnings are there, if you ignore them that’s on you, not the show. Shows shouldn’t be designed and catered to comply with your sheltered and weak preferences.

From the very first scene I was hooked. It was so engrossing that I thought I shouldn’t be driving as I listened. The rest of the world seemed to disappear. I am just old enough to remember radio mysteries from my early childhood. This is just like those. I just binge listened to the first 7...Read full review »

Would be a 5 star show if it wasn’t for the sophomoric Helen Huntley interludes, the totally take me out of the show.
