Good I guess

I am just watching. Interesting so far!

Great reporting. Intro recaps way too long

Episodes are short, which is fine, but the intro recaps are way too long.

RiliRoad ,

Great summary of the case!

I was already familiar with this case from other sources (and already knew of the sequence of events and the ending.) so this was more of a refresher for me. This podcast was a great overview of the full case and it kept me engaged!
