An emotional investment that pays off

I heard about this series as a fan of the delightful Movie Crush podcast, of which Noel (the supervising producer) is a regular contributor. The sincerity of his recommendation on that show piqued my interest, but I waited months before I actual started listening. I didn’t feel up to the challenge of listening to something that I was sure would be emotionally draining, however valuable it was. For whatever reason, I finally felt the need to test the first episode last night and, my god, what a story it is. While I wouldn’t recommended it for anyone trying to fall asleep at night, not just because it’s obviously grim but also too engaging, I am so in awe of the subjects of this podcast. The most beautiful take on the true crime genre that I have seen. Brave and vulnerable interviews and exquisitely produced.
