United Kingdom16 days ago - Good story, needs a different tone
I think the story is extremely compelling, but I did find the overly positive narration a little grating. It didn’t feel appropriate for the subject matter and it was kind of annoying.

United States2 months ago - Horrible podcast voice
I want to enjoy the story but can’t get past the host voice. It makes the story hokey and sound like a joke.
Apple Podcasts2L737472United States4 months ago - HBO Series!

This was such a juicy podcast, lots of details allowed me to easily visualize!
Apple Podcasts5Annie True NorthUnited States4 months ago - Well done
Even though some of us got our daily news through the traditional media. This was a very captivating history of a person who became the first Hollywood non-star
Interviews attempts and all good job!
Apple Podcasts5Ahmed.KUnited States4 months ago - True crime without the being overly sensationalist or exploitative.
I very much like the host - Vanessa. She's very balanced and provides hooks that actually follow through. Well researched, intelligent journalism. Would definitely recommend - even if I'm late to the party.
Apple Podcasts5Sarann68United Kingdom5 months ago - Gender discrimination
This is a heartbreaking story of a woman who was convicted on no evidence who was exploited by Dr Phil in a way that likely led to her early death. A well developed and harrowing podcast. A story of a woman who advocated for equality but received none from the police, courts and the media. An example of the devastating effects of corruptness and patriarchy.

Denmark5 months ago - Run, Bambi, Run
I absolutely love this podcast! Growing up in Wisconsin and living in Mequon in the 90s, I remember reading Run Bambi Run, so I was instantly drawn in. I’ve also been a fan of Vanessa Grigoriadis from her Infamous podcast. She has become one of my favorite voices to listen to. Her punchy lines, sharp research, thoughtful commentary, and engaging storytelling make this podcast a true delight. Thank you so much for producing this—I look forward to every episode. Don’t hesitate to give it a listen!... more
Apple Podcasts5Liesel71United States5 months ago - Just Not That Interesting
The podcast doesn’t make this story sound very interesting. The host doesn’t even spectate on what she thinks happens to the woman who was murdered and how. Idk it’s just a story of a woman falsely accused of murder but that’s not an interesting pull to me
Apple Podcasts2Ya'llMadUnited States5 months ago - Unlistenable
The vocal fry is off the charts. When will it stop?

Interesting story that is well told. Good production values, and a host with a great voice.
Apple Podcasts5imawindycitygalUnited States6 months ago - Had Potential
The story is intriguing, but the episodes are riddled with annoying sound effects and sing-song narration. I couldn’t get through the series but did start to read Lawrencia’s story online.
