- Well…
Hard to listen to all the victimblaming! It is onesided from his family and too praising of Chris and everything “he can do”. They almost picture him as a Saint… And they keep blaming Kims family AND HER. Almost describe them as snobs because they are educated… all in all hard to listen to because of the praising of Chris and blaming on Kim!
Usually a fan of your podcasts tho not this one…

Now more than ever one sided “journalism “ is not acceptable- so many things not covered in the Illinois episode but what is most troubling is the victim blaming and sexism -

United States2 months ago - 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
Apple Podcasts1EskerChanceUnited States2 months ago - Conflicted
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. 🤦🏼♀️
