Where is the racism? The crime was brutal the victim innocent and the perpetrators vile humans and police incompetent. But unless I missed something the one & only time race was even mentioned was in the police audio surveillance. Even the victim was at a loss as to why he was attacked ! Yet the entire show was about racism. Can we all do better? Especially those with a platform and a louder voice.
I had to stop listening.
There are way too many ads.
I’ve enjoyed this podcast over the years but am starting to notice the attention given to the murderer is not warranted. For example, in the latest episode, the host goes into detail about his time in prison, his health issues and how he dies. I don’t really care to hear that nor give any more attention to a homicidal maniac. Simply saying “he died in prison” is enough information, in my opinion.
Love the content of the show. The frequency, length, and repetitiveness of ad breaks is infuriating.
I love the long-format. If I want to read a summary or one article on a case; I would look it up on a search engine. (I tend to be wary of 27-30 minute episodes)
