  • Totally hooked!

    I found myself offering to run errands just so I could get back in the car and listen to this series! I’ve followed the MacDonald case for decades but did not know of the story between him and Joe McGinnis. Fascinating listen. Keep ‘em coming!

    This story grabs you in chapter 1… and won’t let you go. Mark Smerling is amazing. His homework has been thoroughly researched. His team is spectacular. Whatever they do, is done well. Take a listen.

  • A fascinating journalistic perspective

    I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. It isn’t a deep dive into the evidentiary aspect of the case, rather the moral relationship between McGinniss and MacDonald. The research, narration and production are top notch. It was wonderful to listen to so many of the letters and tapes of the correspondence between MacDonald and McGinniss. Kudos to all involved. Thank you very much!

  • Brilliant

    Everything Marc Smerling does is brilliant. Another interesting story told using a mixture of dramatisation, archive audio and modern interview.
