Intelligent.
They don’t have great chemistry. It always sounds like two strangers getting together. Also, Kate doesn’t know any words other than “mhm”. She did it so many times in one episode that I had to write this review. Love the network, love the show idea. But goodness me.
I really enjoy this show BUT the Alcatraz episode needed fact checking. Kate said Whitey Bulger was on the run for 56 years. That is simply not true. He was on the run for 16 years. At first I thought she misspoke but then later she repeated this. I knew a bit about him because he was in a prison in Florida near me before he was transferred to the prison in West Virginia where he was killed. Simple google search would have told the correct facts.
Why can’t you show all the pictures that Paul looks at. That’s the whole reason of watching . Otherwise I enjoy the podcast
Excellent podcast. Very professional and well done.
