LISK: Long Island Serial Killer - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Excellent journalism. After re-listening to Serial years later, I was severely disappointed in how sensationalist and irresponsible it was towards the victim (not what I thought years ago), but this podcast knocks it out of the park. Informative, thorough and most importantly responsible reporting. Well done to all involved!!

I like the investigative aspects of true crime, and the human story behind the victims and the perpetrators. I hate sensationalist exploitation and this podcast is not that. It’s a fascinating in depth study of the case from ever angle, from corrupt police to victims of the poverty of our society.

Although there is a lot of coverage of the human beings who were victims in this horrific story, many people, including the host, in this podcasts call the women victims “girls”. Stop calling women girls! It’s demeaning and patronizing to women. However, this does seem to slightly improve as the seasons progress. The first two seasons have a ton of repetition and the chronology is all mixed up.

This podcast is truly committed to humanizing and deeply personalizing the women killed and found at Gilgo Beach. I intend to listen a second time to really know these women.
