- The tone of the presentation is inappropriate
The host is waaaaaay is using a sensationalized tone and delivery that is gross and inappropriate. Stop making it exciting and give it the respect and grief that these victims deserve.

I’ve heard of this story before but this podcast had me edge of my seat and I didn’t want it to end. Narrator was professional and engaging and compassionate. Great use of time and editing to keep listener following. This story is truly unbelievable. And the ending of podcast was “wow”. I got a little choked up. It was powerful and moving.
