Well-researched, produced, and edited. I’m hoping for another season. The material is exceptional, and Ben Mankeniewicz is the most professional host.
Love the podcast but when does the 5th season debut?
But I’m not getting any younger. Please bring new seasons out quicker.
The Plot Thickens is my favorite podcast. I’m having withdrawals. The way you lay out each person and the pacing makes for a fascinating storytelling journey. I hope season 5 will come out soon!
Thank you for giving this amazing actor and inspiring woman this season!! Loved Pam forever but hearing her insights is a true gift. I hope her days are lovely—-she put a lot of beauty and brilliance in the world.
