There are several interesting stories here not the least of which is “Tom Browns Body”. You see, while I grew up in No. Va. my Mom was from East Texas, and every month on our coffee table was a fresh copy or Texas Monthly, which I read cover to cover. Wonderful publication. Next, my Sister-in-Law...Read full review »

I could and would listen to Skip tell a story about paint drying. It just so happens this story is fascinating. Loved it. I'd give it 14 stars if I could.Read full review »

Hard to follow when Episode 6 is missing

I’ve been a true crime buff for years and this was the first Texas Monthly podcast and it kept me in binge mode! What an interesting case with Skip doing a wonderful job of covering all angles! I highly recommend this show and I pray some closure can come to the people of Canadian, Tx and for...Read full review »

I laughed out loud, I sobbed, I gasped. I did so many chores because I couldn’t stop listening to this at night. I hope Skip does more. There were several times I couldn’t tell if I was supposed to be laughing. Mostly at the private investigator. Skip did a stellar job staying neutral but also...Read full review »

This is so well done! Kudos to Skip and the Texas Monthly team for such an intriguing podcast. I thought I was listening to a Who Done It novel. He does a great job of putting it together and narrating the true story. I highly recommend it!

Intriguing podcast. The actions of Sheriff Nathan Lewis were suspicious from the beginning. He needs to be looked at again more thoroughly.

My son passed this along to me because he lives in Stephenville, attending TSU. I started listening and could not stop. I am done with both seasons when is the next one coming out. Great content, music and just gripping stories. Keep it up!

Well narrated. Nicely executed. Looking forward to any up dates.

First things first- the sheriff is definitely guilty of something. It might not be related to this case, but he was acting real shady the entire series. The host is clearly a seasoned journalist! I appreciated his ability to hold people accountable and ask the tough questions. I do think there...Read full review »

Not every story have a perfect, happy ending. I appreciate the work that went into investigating Tim Brown’s death. Skip did an excellent job, continuing the search for answers for the family, community and listeners.

I couldn’t stop listening! My only disappointment is towards the end it seemed like Skip was adding fuel to the rumor mills and kicking up painful emotions with Mom and Sheriff. Coming from a small town myself, I found that irritating and lacking compassion.

This series is gripping and addictive. I will say no more, as to not give anything away.
muffinloaf20 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/23
Seriously? How have you not corrected the episode order? The podcast has been enjoyable thus far, however, the episodes being out of order really ruined the narratives flow and progression. Shame.

The thicket the first episode 8 is actually episode 6. Listen to that before episode 7.
NikB0317 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/23
Loved this. Skip Hollandsworth is a master when it comes to telling a story. His factual account, in his soothing and beautiful voice, is almost a ballad and poetry. Loved the weaving of the Averitt Brothers melancholy music with the story. There were many times when I became tearful as the music...Read full review »

Unsolved mystery.
HousecleanerK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/23
I just came across this series and was glad I am a little late so I could binge it all at once. I got through it in about a week. After everything I still do not have a strong opinion as to what happened to poor Tom. It is still a mystery. Hope we get answers soon and Tom gets justice one day IsA.
Roxi9020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/23
Episode 6 is mislabeled as one of two Episodes 8. Make sure to listen to The Thicket between Episode 5 and Episode 7 as The Thicket is actually Episode 6

Only marked it down because I consistently felt that the community was incredibly toxic and it was hard to listen to. The way organised religion is used in some societies is regrettable. A very sad story.
Abbypinkcustard via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/30/23
Great report. So sad that there is no closure. The girl that reported she overheard where Tom’s body was, was she ever asked who she heard talking about it? I listened to all episodes and I didn’t hear that that was ever disclosed. Was it?

Where is Episode 6? It goes from 5 to 7??
TessiHen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/23
Excellent reporting, pace, narration. No commercials. Highly recommended.

I love this podcast. Very well presented. When I started listening to it, I couldn't quit! I still have a lot of unanswered questions!Read full review »

This is a very fascinating mystery. Definitely one of my new faves!! I still think of this case daily and I have my suspicions about Penny and Tucker… so many dead ends and unknowns left on this one!! I was totally wrapped up in this. Thanks for your hard work putting this together.
ksmeonx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
Don’t stop. Keep these stories coming. Insightful, forthcoming, unbiased, true-facts. Skip- you’ve found your niche. Please never stop. These truthful stories need the light you & other researchers/reporters shed on them to end what’s been covered by many for far too long. Ira Glass - watch...Read full review »

This podcast very very intriguing. I feel so sad for the family. Its a suspicious story. Hope closure comes to them soon. Great work Skip!
Reidaw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/23
I feel like this was a true crime series told in a Garrison Keillor style. I LOVED it. The journalists draw you in with their description of the little Texas town and the people in it. You feel like you’re there and you know everyone in town. I’m heart broken for the family. The story is just...Read full review »
