This is a different take on true crime. The storytelling is focused on painting a full
Picture of the victim. Lots of use of professionals to add weight to interviews and excellent research.
I know the Goodmans and am heartbroken for them and this story about their beloved Mother. Thank you giving them the chance to share their story.
I can’t get past the second episode. I like the narrator’s voice but the speech pattern is … the whole thing is like one run-on sentence. It gets better in the second episode but the pace is still weird.
This is one of the best in the genre. I like how the hosts work with families of the victims, and don’t sensationalize. The show brings awareness to disappearances and murders that may not get much attention otherwise.
What an incredible podcast. The empathy for the families and for our most vulnerable people. Thank you thank you for sharing these stories. ♥️
