“It’s great storytelling but I have to say it - it’s 2024 we don’t need keyboard clicks and twitter whistles to understand that the voice is reading a text/tweet, especially when the narrator literally says it’s a tweet. It’s so distracting and annoying! It’s making it incredibly difficult to listen to the podcast. PSA for all podcasters: PLEASE don’t add that in. We don’t need it. We are smart enough to follow along without the sound effect.
As far as content, I agree with many other reviews that it feels overly drawn out. Interviews come across more like small-town trash talk and gossip rather than telling the story of what happened. Audio quality is disappointing with the interviews as well. It’s a compelling story but I’ve heard many other retellings that are far more interesting. There is so much focus on Rachel and Sheila that you almost completely forget about Skylar. I know they’re being portrayed has high school mean girls but all the interviews and even the narrator commentary feels like more means girl talking about other mean girls.”
