There are no words to adequately communicate the impact.
I’m not one to leave reviews, because… blah blah blah time, blah blah effort, blah blah blah no one really cares. BUT, this podcast warranted a review. I cannot say enough good about it. I’ve been a true-crime podcast junkie since I stumbled on MFM while sitting in my car waiting for my 80-yr-old mom to finish playing her cello in a concert with the Southwest Symphony in Southern Utah. (I know, I know, how do an accomplished musician and a BYU French professor produce a child who is addicted to murder stories?) Anyway, I’ve listen to hundreds of hours of true-crime podcasts. Some are good. Some are great. Some are funny (shout out to My Favorite Murder). Some are too detailed. Some are not detailed enough. Most are grizzly. THIS ONE, though, is in a category all its own. Here is the best way I can explain my experience: New neural pathways form when we encounter a new piece of information or a new thought. I genuinely feel like I experienced neuroplasticity as I listened to this podcast. A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of The Letter. The vulnerability of the families, and their willingness to share something so deeply personal, is valued more than I’m able to express. Side note to ExMos: I’m not LDS (though I was a True Blue Mormon for 48 years), and I tend to avoid Utah-based stuff in an effort to not trigger my own religious trauma. I took a chance clicking on anything KSL-related, and I’m so glad I did! Yes, there are the religious references, and yes, there are serious Relief Society voices, but the honest, vulnerable human side of these families and their tragedy comes through in a way that made those little Mormonism reminders fall to the wayside.

Great podcast and great story telling. Waiting anxiously for next episodes. I hope that my faith and I will be able to love as they do.
