3.8 out of 5 stars from 183 ratings
  • Short but powerful artistry

    I don’t usually like dramatizations, but this podcast did a great job interpreting 200-year-old testimony to bring this trial to life. The frequent ads are annoying, but the series makes up for it with good writing and a constellation of talented actors for all the many witnesses. I especially appreciated the historical context added by the host’s narration, and how she always circles back to centering Elma’s story, which got lost in the trial itself. Then ending was especially poignant. I think... more

  • A couple of thoughts…

    I give it two stars because the story is very interesting and deserves to be told, so kudos to the producers for taking it on. However, as a member of the listening audience, I sorely resent the dumbed down dialogue and terrible acting. I'm not old enough to have been at the trial (rumors to the contrary) but I know that people did not speak that way in 1800. Oh, and just for the record it’s “Fraunces” Tavern, not “Frances.”

  • Interesting Story but Annoying Delivery

    I find this story interesting from a historical and true crime perspective, but I couldn’t stand the use of modern colloquialisms and accents. I don’t understand why some characters from the 1800s sound like valley girls or surfer bros. It really pulled me out of the story…

  • When zero stars is not an option

    Bad bad acting, not hysterical, too many “like” In a historical retelling. It’s unbearable and painful.

  • Complete fiction

    This podcast is not only ignorant of the law, it’s ignorant of history. They saw an opportunity to whine about “the system” to appeal to gullible leftists and ran with it. Read up on the story, you won’t learn the truth in this podcast.
