The Bakersfield Three

I love that this story focuses on the lives of the victims and their families instead of being all about the perpetrator. FINALLY journalism that does it right and is still wildly entertaining and educational.

Olivia tells a good story. She has an excellent speaking voice. It sounds like she’s actually speaking to the listener, not just reading words on a page. Worth the time. It gets one less star because the SimpliSafe commercial comes on so often my brain hurts ANNND the milk commercial with the slurping…eww. I know I’m not a no-ad subscriber, but this is too much. Lol.

I never leave reviews but Olivia is such a great crime reporter who genuinely cares about victims. I’m a KC LEO have been watching/listening since KGET 2015 because victims are my reason for what I do, and I know hers is also. If you haven’t already listened ‘the man with a thousand faces’ it is one of my favorite podcasts to date and I listing to a criminal amount of podcast/docs/book. Can’t wait to finish The Bakersfield three, this one is different than other it’s too home for me. Me and Baylee went to the same high school, same age, same parties, same situations. Always praying for closure, peace, and comfort for Baylee, Micah, and James’s families. Keep doing what you do best Olivia, being a voice for those that lost theirs 💕

Wow! This was such a heartbreaking story to learn about yet I couldn’t stop listening. It was so thoughtfully and respectfully told without leaving out the details. I loved hearing everyone’s perspective considering how intertwined the stories were. Adding Olivia Lavoice to my faves now!

I understand having to sit through commercials for free content, name of the game. These commercials take a 1/3 of the time at least in every episode…and they aren’t long episodes. Leading competitors have half the time in commercials and double the content in episodes. If you value your time but don’t wanna pay for “no ad” content don’t bother.
