- Songbird good, Vaughn worst of the worst
I first listened to Songbird Road and while not perfect, it was reasonably good. I turned to the Chris Vaughn season and it is among the worst podcasts I’ve listened to due to its total bias and awful tone. I was going to listen to the other Murder in Illinois seasons and Murder in Oregon but I now have no trust in this podcaster and will never listen to another by her. Sadly, does a disservice to the genuinely wrongfully convicted. I’m not even saying I believe or don’t believe the result, just... more

Aside from giving stars, I’ve never actually reviewed a podcast. Murder in Illinois has changed that. For context, I listened to Murder on Songbird Road and, while I thought it was a little slow, I enjoyed it. I’m now listening to Murder in Illinois. I’m appalled by Chris’ parents and brother. Who knew being educated is a bad thing. According to the Vaughans not being able to cook, reading books, being a female with a strong personality, going to college, and socializing for fun are undesirable ... more

You seriously opened the Vaughn series with saying you chose the case because his mugshot looked like he probably didn’t do it. 🤦🏼♀️

Australia2 months ago - Awful, host is one-sided
This podcast is so bad it’s laughable. Chris’ parents are the stereotypical ‘boy parents’ who think their son is the sun and the moon. I knew nothing about this case before this and the whole podcast makes me think Chris is guilty. The parents are delusional and the podcast host just goes along with their delusions. The host repeatedly says no one from Kim’s family would participate in the podcast. The host could have presented the other side by referencing trial transcripts but chose not to. Wi... more
Apple Podcasts1craycraymichieUnited States2 months ago - Awful garbage
Update after listening to Songbird Road — still terrible. So biased and a whole episode on Julia being pregnant and the baby being taken after birth. She was an accused murderer of a child in her care. Of course they did. Also, glossing over “bad facts” that caused the jury to find her guilty is very biased. They gloss over the blood found on the steering wheel, car handle, and a bunch of other places as “well there was no blood found in the office” and the lie to police that she went to Walmart... more
