  • Richie and Johanna

    I met Richie the day her move to Miami his Aunt and Grandmother lived around the corner from me next door and across the street from Tony Simmons. We use to ride bikes and watch TV holding hands at Tony Simmons house. His sister Lorraine and my sister Mary were best friends. I will never forget the day I got the news of what happened to him. I cried and cried. Went to his viewing with my sister I still have the old day pictures of him playing in the hose. I pray for Richie everyday. It was hi... more

  • Not bad, if you can get to episode 4

    This podcast is hard to review because the first three episodes are SO rambling and go down so many pointless cul de sacs that should have been cut or condensed. I would have dropped it if a friend hadn't highly recommended the podcast to me. Yet once it becomes clear in episode four what the story is actually ABOUT and why we're listening to this guy going on about his neglected teenage years and his pot-head friends, it becomes riveting and devastating. To its credit, the podcast does take on ... more

  • Not your typical true crime!

    Okay, so this is something different. Not your typical, goofy "two dudes/dudettes and a mic" podcast, and neither a mundane "read" style show that just boringly goes over the facts. A first hand account about what it was really like being a teen in 1978 and being involved in a concentric circle of weirdness that just gets deeper and deeper (*Hint: the murder is not the big story here!). Oh, and the music is awesome!

  • Very Well Done

    My father was good friends with Ritchie growing up but moved away from the neighborhood a little less than a year before this incident, which he learned about through his other friends. I always remember him telling me about his friend Ritchie and the booby trap story. Several years later I'm reflecting upon this story my father told me and decide to do some googling and see what came up. This podcast is really the only well developed archive of the booby trap incident and the narrator does a gr... more

  • The Miami Chronicles: Booby Trap - no spoilers!

    I found this podcast from the Apostrophe Podcast Network with Acast really fascinating before I knew why. Now I realize it's because the main narrator Michael Fragomeni starts it out by making it sound like he's your college roommate recounting his wild childhood then goes on to sound like it should be a movie only to end by proving why it's in the true crime category. No wonder he wrote a book. It could have been a movie. Not only is he a great s... more
