Atlanta Monster - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I grew up during the timeframe when the Atlanta murders were happening - the era of serial killers. Lindsey creates a compelling narrative to tell the story.

All the interviews where the interviewee is allowed to do all the talking - I loved it. Lindsey didn’t make the story about him, he let those involved and impacted tell the story.

Before and through most of the podcast, I had the impression that Dwayne Williams may have been wrongly convicted. And although I still can’t figure out how he threw grown men over the edge of a bridge - I now have no doubt he committed many of the child murders.

There are too many coincidences where Williams was always there when the murders happened, those who he tried to abduct but lived to tell about it, nothing doesn’t point to Williams, nothing. There’s a relief that the right man was convicted in this case. So many Black men are wrongly convicted and framed, but Dwayne Williams in not one of them.

I liked that Lindsey didn’t try to steer the listener one way or the other about Williams - he just shared all the information and left it to the listener to decide.

I listen to many of the productions done by Tenderfoot Tv and have enjoyed all the ones I’ve listened to. Payne always does a great job at anything he investigates.

This podcast, in comparison to the others I’ve listened to, has more advertisements. They are lengthy and frequent, sometimes sounding like a 5 minute long television commercial break.

I understand that ads and sponsors are needed to make a profit from these time-consuming investigations and productions, but this series has far more than the others Tenderfoot has produced. I found it annoying.

There’s so much tragedy and so much happening with these still open cases that it can become overwhelming but this show is thoroughly researched and balanced. I love the John Douglas interview at the end. I think it’s really great that after Payne’s success he chose to highlight this important story.

Thanks for making this podcast there are not many podcast out about black ppl and some of the ones out there barely touch the surface. I love the way this story is being told through the ppl who experienced and were affected by it.

Typical of certain podcasters in this genre, this podcast is riddled with inaccuracies. Very little of the trial evidence was presented. Lot’s of conjecture in interviews with people who had no connection to the actual investigation. Payne clearly set out to drive this story in a specific direction regardless of the actual facts.

I was very interested in the first 2 or 3 episodes of this podcast, but when I realized where it was headed, I became super disappointed. I agree with wanting to hear both sides of the story - that of law enforcement’s and that of the accused. What I didn’t like is how the show ended up becoming so focused on conspiracies and allowing an arrogant and obnoxious criminal to give these long, drawn out speeches. I don’t believe he was responsible for all of the (29?) murders, but there’s no doubt in my mind that he was behind some of them. Really hate how this podcast ended up trying to change the narrative.
