Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is incredibly well done. It’s honest, raw, dark, hopeful and captivating on all accounts. It truly shows the transformative power of breaking the cycle. I have already recommended this podcast to so many people. It’s dark and heavy at times - can be incredibly triggering. But it’s also uplifting, hopeful, enlightening and a lesson is the beauty of openness and honesty. Couldn’t recommend this podcast more!

A uniquely intimate perspective on a very public and famous case. A deep dive into an incredibly compelling and tragic story only this family can tell, and thankfully they did. They deserve an immense amount of credit and respect, not only for surviving the horrors most of them had to endure and sharing it with us, but also for being the good people they seem to be or strive to be in spite of, or because of, their experiences. Beware of graphic descriptions of violence.

This is THE best Podcast I have listened to. It is so well told and easy on the ears. It pulls you in and keeps your interest held as each layer of the story is undone!

Wowwow. One of my favorite podcasts! I love the unfolding of the story. The production was really great right down to the music! I was hooked and listened in a day and a half. Thanks for being brave and telling all your stories! What a fascinating story and uncovering of an infamous murder.
