Scamanda - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Great story, very well put together! My biggest complaint is the ads. I understand needing to have income brought in for a podcast but 15-20 minutes worth of ads in a 35-40 minute podcast is a bit ridiculous. Almost half of the podcast is ads.

Excellent storytelling and extremely captivating. I am listening for a second time. However, I do think the podcast lets Cory off pretty easily… Amanda was a child (17) when she met Corey so, he likely groomed her… then when she gets pregnant the second time there’s no verbal accountability going to him. This is sticking out to me on my second listen

This is well researched, well scripted and wonderfully produced. I couldn’t stop listening!

I enjoyed every bit of it, very captivating, awesome journalism. Best podcast I’ve listened to in a long while, no single ads on it too!!!

Overall a frustrating experience with all the confusing time jumps, repeatedly recounting the same story from slightly different perspectives I could barely tell apart, and sooo much filler without truly getting into the juicy details I wanted to know. Felt like they dragged out a 4 episode series to fit 8 so they could fit in as many ads as possible - and they made sure to stuff in tons of those in every episode. Annoyed I spent so much time listening to this, hoping for it to get better.

Fascinated by the amount of research and effort put in by the investigator/producer. However, the presentation of it dragged on and on, particularly with reactions from the people surrounding Amanda, rather than facts and evidence. Theoretically, you could skip straight to the last episode and get everything you need. But even then, I was left wanting for more details.
