The podcast is great! But Deb made me want to slam my head in to a wall. How many red flags can you ignore!? And how can you just ignore The kids that are screaming at you to get rid of him? But Here comes Debs Mom! And it all Came full circle! These ladies are walking morons! You have no loyalties to your Children. Thank God the Daughters have a lick of Brains.
Wondery has done better

Didn’t get through it. Mostly interviews which are difficult to understand and to keep track of who is who. Truly disappointing from this company. There’s a great story here, but presented terribly.
Audio editing is horrible
Aug 16
The audio editing on this podcast is *so bad* that I felt compelled to review. Ads are always placed abruptly in the middle of a sentence, and there are 3-4 (very long!) ads per episode. So someone is speaking, then in the middle of their sentence it cuts to a 3-minute ad, then it abruptly cuts back to the rest of their sentence. Makes me hate Simplisafe (the advertiser), even though it’s not their fault. At least once (episode 3 I think?), the audio company promoted themselves on top of the podcast, i.e. two different voices were going at the same time. The storytelling is good, but it’s borderline unlistenable.
Bad editing makes this too annoying to finish

The ads abruptly cut into the narrative at random times. The storytelling is too slow. I tried to stick with this to hear the end but couldn’t listen anymore.
