Well done

I really appreciate that the victims were a huge part of this podcast. So often it’s the killer that gets all the attention and the victims really do deserve so much more.

Mini series??

I loved the first season! I have not even finished this episode. As soon as you all got to the place where the body was found, and the poem was read... the images of the girlfriends, and the wine, and the pain, and the laughters... all the images. This could be a great miniseries!!!!

I love this podcast

For having no podcasting experience, Carole does a great job! Compelling storytelling. It’s Dirty John meets Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Right up my ally. I also like the music so I am not sure what people are complaining about. Peace and love to Gail’s family. May her story be a cautionary tale to women everywhere. Domestic violence needs to be taken more seriously.

Looking forward to season 2! So glad you are humanizing this missing woman who was once thought to be Gail.
