  • 22 Hours: A Second Look

    The original American Nightmare podcast captivated me. This sequel (of sorts) has sucked me in again. The production, story-telling and attention to detail are top notch. I also appreciate the sensitivity of the subject matter and how well the hosts handle the crime and its survivors with tact and professionalism.
