At times, background “mood” musics softly totters along despite not apparently having any relationship with the narration. The “mood” is set for a feeling of bewilderment , as if some important clue/information or reveal is occurring. Typically this would convey a sense of mystery but here it is just disconnected from the narrative and disorienting. Very annoying and distracting. Sound editor needs to reconsider these choices.
Sorry to nitpick but I can hardly focus on the narrative.
This latest season is especially bad and just confusing. I’m not sure how this is a story of friendship betrayal. It doesn’t sound the two people interviewed were friends with this girl to begin with. She sounds really unwell. At what point is this just punching down on someone that needs help?
Not sure why this show took such a turn. I still come back to re-listen to old seasons. Really hate what it’s turned into now.
The second chapter of season 26 is just gross. Mean girl behavior dominates and I’m truly shocked by how much this podcast has changed. Tiffany was doing good work and talking about such important topics in the beginning. In the latest episodes, this “friend” openly says she never wanted to be friends with the girl and was just leading her on to try and out her. Clearly this girl is mentally ill, but these people were responding to and engaging with her so they could gossip about it.
does anyone else find it bizarre that the host is giggling along with these kids who are at least 15 years younger than her as they plot to bully and “expose” a young woman who is clearly unwell? this show has gone so off the rails in the last few seasons, and this season is downright shameful. this is not journalism, it’s not protecting survivors; you are using your platform to gossip with 23 year olds. tiffany, this is the wrong way to try and stay relevant; it’s embarrassing and icky.
