Lords of Death

I’ve never left a review. I listen to tons of podcasts, and after episode 6, this is as perfect as they’ve come. Most podcasts have a lull mid podcast that make me wonder if I’m going to continue. Not this. I adore thrasher banks. His delivery reminds of a lot of Rick McCrank, I don’t know how to describe it but it’s calm, monotone that still delivers all the emotions. I just love it. Thank you.

I am a tenderfoot tv fan but was hesitant about this one at first because of the name and Thrasher’s voice. But it is a gripping story told in a very personal way. I’ve looked forward to the next episode since the beginning. Great sound design and music.

I almost never write reviews but I had to say that it is disappointing that people rate this show poorly just because they don’t like his narrator’s voice. Get over it. The personal nature of this show is so impressive. It’s brave. It’s intriguing. It is real. The personal perspective provides a level of humanity that is often neglected in other true crime shows.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I would disagree that the narration was any bit distracting from the story. I was hooked by the show after episode 1 and subscribed to hear them all. A real life story of a family disrupted by the chaos of a mad individual and accusations towards a step father’s involvement. I think the podcast is set up very well in its timeline and the interviews are interesting to hear from. Thrasher Banks had to go to some risky lengths to talk to some of these people. I applaud his dedication to the history of this story & trying to get to the bottom of it all these years. I would love it if Lords of Death kept going or at least started another segment.

The narrator is so flat with no real inflection. It feels like he’s bored with his own content. It’s so hard to listen to which is disappointing because the content is intriguing.

Was pretty interesting but I can see why they held the final three episodes back. Those were lackluster and really added little to nothing to story and the podcast just kind of ended. There was a bit of reflection there but really not enough to justify the previous episodes and continuation of these. I do wish the families of all those involved peace as this is solely entertainment for the rest of us but it needs to be a bit more substantial towards the end.
