- Good, but…
I love your show, but I have never yelled at a podcast more than your guest talking about the Exorcist. As an LCMS Lutheran, there are so many details he got very wrong about the Lutheran aspect of it. We absolutely believe in possession, participate in exorcisms (my former Pastor went to Madagascar to observe and participate in them relatively recently), heck—our St. Louis seminary has a room walled off to this day because that’s where an exorcism tied to this case was performed. Which is disap... more

I love this pod and am not going to change my rating. But, as a Grand Rapidian, I was looking forward to Allie Seibert's story, but was very disappointed. She essentially told the whole story - why read the book? And here we have another case of just because someone can write doesn't mean they can speak. She has a grating voice and terrible style.
Apple Podcasts4PW from GRUnited States3 months ago IMO Steve Hodel proved his father knew ES and perpetrated her undoing. Not buying this take on her murder. Still great interview questions, sadly very biased answers.

Eric, I have left you a review before, but I just had to tell you that your interview with Chris Pouy is fascinating!! I remember seeing his mother on TV as a child! Thank you for having him on to tell his story, that should be a much more well known story. I hope it gets the attention of a producer because it would make an excellent movie or series!
