Father Wants Us Dead

NJ.com

In 1971, a mild-mannered accountant and Sunday school teacher from New Jersey named John List murders his wife, mother and three children — only to disappear and begin a new life entirely on the other side of the country.

  • Annoying

    Really wanted to like this. A story I’ve never heard of and was interested. But SO repetitive. The whole first episode could be condensed into 20 mins. And that’s true for the next two. I couldn’t get through episode three. Nothing specific, nothing super detailed. And the “we had to work so hard to get interviews, listen to all our cold calls” killing of five mins was a real turn off. Too bad - with a different presentation and more serious presenters, this could have been great!

  • Repetitive. Stick to your expertise.

    Truly great true crime podcasts are rare, and this is not one of them. At its best when discussing the particulars of the case. Not so much when talking about feelings, real or (more often) imagined. I stopped listening on the middle of episode 9 when, after the break, they were going to discuss the victims and the legacy (¿?) of the crime in the town. Especially galling, in the same episode, were the authors’ discussion on the role of List’s OCPD in the crime. The justice system found an a... more

  • Interesting podcast

    It was a very bing worthy podcast. Kudos to the reporters who I can see put a lot of effort. Shook me up a little bit, however it was a great podcast for true crime people. It was so tragic and the depth went into this horrible, horrible tragedy was insane.

  • Good story, weird presentation

    Repetitive and literary cliches galore. Seems like the hosts are actors, who don’t know each other, reading a report. The horrific story is presented as a journalist big break rather than experienced writing about a subject. Felt like I was being preached at by the end with rehearsed differing opinions that added no substance to the story.

  • A for effort -

    I give the two reporters A for effort but the podcast is lacking in substance. We do not know more about John List at the end…there’s a lot of repetition and the 8 episodes could probably have been done in 4 or 5. It would have helped to hear directly, more often, from the people they interviewed as opposed to the hosts’ summaries of what they said. more
