  • No audience updates

    Understandably, there are things you do not want to put out there and hoping nothing bad has happened.

    These people are hurting and maybe they want the show to roll like this. Who knows? We as listeners have to shut up and wait for an update.

    My plan is not to listen anymore.

  • Not David Ridgen, But Good

    The cases in season 4 were super interesting. I found the length and overall organization of the season to be messy and too long. As others have noted, there is a lot of recapping- too much- and trite armchair analysis. Some sensationalism that isn’t necessary when the storytelling is strong enough. But I went back and listened to season 1. Loved Payne’s interview with Markus’s mother, and glad that he pressed Brooke (who was equivocating like a MFer) in her interviews. I wanted to shake Brooke ... more

  • Payne is truly amazing

    I have listened to every single episode of up and vanished. And I have to say the most amazing part about this show is truly the natural curiosity that Payne Lindsay embraces in every case. he’s never satisfied and he’s just curious and he looks at things from a different perspective than most of the law-enforcement. He just goes at it head on. I thoroughly enjoy Up and Vanished and I wish there was hundreds of more episodes. I could listen to this podcast every day all day.

  • This last season lost me

    I used to love this show but this last season felt like more of a “look at me” production from the host than a podcast with clear storytelling and a search for justice. It all feels performative and the starts and stops and “oh wait we have to take a break but trust us it’ll be worth it.” Spoiler alert it wasn’t.
