I’ve never really been interested in the Betty Broderick story but this podcast was interesting and well produced so I listened. It was better than watching the latest Dirty John 2 version of the story. Many new details were given in the podcast. I love the music as well. I don’t know why people don’t like it. It makes the story seem current.

I’m surprised at the negative reviews on this one. I was really impressed by the production quality, and I truly enjoyed the narrator (which is the most important part for me). I don’t remember hearing about this case, so the subject was pretty fascinating as well. This should be a 5-star podcast.

I found this podcast series to be entertaining and interesting. I saw some unfavorable reviews that mention the first episode keeps discussing Hillary Clinton but I think those listeners were listening to the BONUS Episode 1, which discusses the social climate in the era the events took place (1960s to 1990s). I think the series is fascinating because they include interviews by persons involved in the Broderick divorce and murder trial. (Lawyers, friends, reporters) as well as recordings of witness court testimony.

The first few minutes were a little confusing, but the rest of the narrative was good. I don’t know why people are so negative, she did good reporting. It was short and sweet and gave a lot of emphasis on WHY people are paying attention to this case, even after this long. I recommend if you’re looking for a quick summary. Her voice is so calm too!

I wanted to listen to this, I really did, but the "background" music is unbearable and overwhelming, and the narrator speaks in an advertisement-type voice that is totally inappropriate for this kind of podcast. I couldn't even get through the first episode. It's like listening to two bad radio stations at the same time.

It’s difficult to listen to this story be so sensationalized when women are being killed by their ex’s every day in this country. We ask “why couldn’t she get over it” and call her names like scorned and crazy. Yes, she is a murderer. She took two lives that were not for her to take. But, I think it is necessary to those still covering this case to ask WHY it is so infamous. Why don’t we ask the same questions and use the same language about men who do this at a shocking high rate?
