Absolutely love this podcast!!
The stories are told in such a way that keeps me engaged and listening. And she gets right into the story which I appreciate. Her voice is so soothing and I love that sources are cited. I’m bingeing all the episodes and it keeps me so entertained while doing a summer deep clean.
This is the best true crime series I’ve ever heard. I am absolutely obsessed with the way Chrissy tells each story. She really makes you feel like you’re right there in the middle of things. I look forward to hearing each new episode.
I came across this podcast randomly and gave it a shot and have been binging ever since. I’m gonna be sad when I’m caught up 😆 great job love it!
I’m really happy with this podcast. I’m kind of obsessed with made for tv movies and I love Farrah Fawcett’s work in Small Sacrifices and others during this era. Thanks for doing this series!
