“Tracy Pattin and Stephen Lang are THE most incredible storytellers I’ve ever listened to. You cannot stop listening and yet somehow they also lullaby you to sleep. The creator’s and writer’s content of Young Charlie will blow your mind. 🤯Listen to all the Hollywood and Crime stories for more of...”Read full review »

“Can’t play any of the episodes beyond Episode 2! That’s the only reason for the low rating. If the full series isn’t available, take it off the menu, please!”

“I think it is dumb that I have to pay to hear the full stories of all of your latest productions.
Note to others: do not start to listen to if you don’t want to pay money to Wondry to finish the full story. Apparently it’s a new thing that all podcasts are going to so they can make more money...”Read full review »

“I love the stories, I’m surprised I don’t recall any mention of Linda Kasabian, the driver of the get away car the night of Sharon Tate murder, but I think she may have gone the second night. Linda was the states start turned witness.”

“I have never known the whole story surrounding Charles Manson and the 1969 murder spree . I was 6 years old in 1969 but remember hearing about him years later. I was impressed with how the story was told in this podcast. I wonder what would have happened to him if his life had gone down a...”Read full review »

“If you enjoy that sort of fast-paced, urgent tone, and embellished descriptors, much like a one of those “celebrity-news” shows that comes on after the evening news, then you’ll enjoy this podcast. The listener is, however, might be easily distracted by the reader’s dramatics.

“Both of the narrators have any amazing way of telling a story and painting a picture in your head. The one thing I would say that could push these podcast by wondery over the edge would be actual sound clips. Interviews, police testimony, victim accounts.”

You were barely submerged in one era before the story is interrupted by a flash back. Think Wondery’s usual format with chronological events works best as they’re so...”Read full review »

“Material is great but the telling is a little too embellished for me. Would have preferred interviews with real people who touched this story rather than the dramatic interpretation. Ending is very abrupt- would like to have known more about the victims families perspectives.”

“I thought the narration of the Sharon Tate murder period was well done and the writing reasonably concise. The ‘young Charlie’ sections were dull, lifeless and extremely prosaic. I enjoyed half of the podcast.”

“The ending was abrupt. I wasn’t sure it even ended. This could have carried on to the trial. You spoke of Charlie’s death, but no mention of the family trial. You had my attention, then just ended it. The podcast was done well. I knew the back story of Charlie Manson and still learn new information.”

“I didn't really know much of the details of Manson's life. His "heyday" occurred when I was only five years old. Wondery has done a good job of painting a vivid portrait of this infamous anti-social low-life. One thing however: as a Scientologist, I am interested in how people in...”Read full review »
