Really excellent, but for one small thing…

I’d give this one five stars if it weren’t for the all-too-frequent advertisement breaks that last at least three minutes— that’s longer than commercial breaks on network television (average is around two to two and a half minutes). She always calls it a “quick” break, but it really isn’t, especially compared with most other podcasts I’ve heard.

Otherwise, truly one of the best true crime podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Very excellent research and reporting, and I love that they don’t put all of the emphasis on the cops or the killers; they actually do a great job of making the Roden family feel like real, three dimensional people.

Season 2 and 3 just don’t need to happen

Season 2 and 3 are just people talking. The people that did it were caught and 2 even confessed to the murders, so they’re still going on about how it could be the cartels and some other random stuff…? The background music in season 3 is just too much. It’s this weird ethereal overly dramatic music, and they constantly cut to different speakers and use this annoying thunder sound to enhance whatever is said and make it sound more dramatic. This is just so overdramatic and seems to be dragging out the story.

Great, but the mispronunciation of words is driving me nuts.

Talk to locals here in WA State to find out how some of our locations are pronounced. Also, Dennis Rader’s name. They are easily googled, so I don’t understand.
