I have no idea how many times I had to check to see if I was in the correct episode due to sooooooo many repeated sections. Absolutely the most frustrating podcast I’ve listened to in five years.
The underlying mystery really hooked me. Had me shaking my head at some testimony and nodding along.
Good story that could have been wrapped up in three episodes
This speaks to privilege that these people stalked him and racism in how they saw him. I wonder if a person of color covered this story if they would talk about that. They add access to his monitor! They continuously predict violence but he was incarcerated at 16 years old. How can they definitively know that. This is a story about racism and privilege
The topic is interesting and the character depiction is great. The teling of the story is too long(winding) for me and quite repetitive at times. I can imagine as a podcast maker you want to tell many details about a three years quest for “the” thruth, but as a listener not all steps in the proces were interesting.
