She has a great way of telling a story, no matter how sad or tragic.
Very good voice for podcasts. Very sincere and gentle.
Very strange podcast. First time listener. The host and the guest started talking about the case without providing any backstory, setup, details, or anything. This was after they spent almost 20 minutes about the guest’s life. I had to give up, sorry. This was the Annie McCarrick episode. Baffling.
Very interesting cases and clearly well researched. However, I found it frustrating that the presenter often sounded like they were reading directly from a script. The tone can come across as a little fake and overly rehearsed at times, almost AI-generated, which can make it hard to listen to for long periods despite the quality of the content.
Thank you for this excellent podcast. I found it through seeing an ad for Lines of Inquiry on a social media platform—your show is my favorite, LOI is second. I have Irish and Scottish ancestry (50/50) and am a writer of essays and poetry, and an English teacher. I admire your intelligent and candid approach to these stories, as well as the show’s mission about focusing on the people who lost their lives. I’ve listened in Paris as well as here in sunny California, my home. Brava!
Finally a podcast that gives heart rendering accounts on the Victims behalf!! I never miss an episode-fantastically written & so empathetic for the victim who is Always at the centre!
