The Girl in the Blue Mustang - Podcast Rankings and reviews

How refreshing to listen to a true crime podcast without having to listen to the speaker’s obvious bias. Keith Morrison and the authors told the story using facts and not opinions. I don’t want their opinions and told what to think, like so many true crime podcasters. I want to listen and decide for myself.

Btw, even though I’ve followed this case for years, it was as interesting as if I hadn’t. Go listen!

Usual quality content from Keith and the dateline team! I tend to prefer stories with tidy endings but sometimes life doesn’t go that way. The one thing that makes this really hard to listen to are all of the ringing phones and phone notification sounds. It brings me out of the story every single time. Please reconsider using phone notification sounds for background- they give this millennial serious anxiety

This podcast was top notch. The writing, editing and production is some of the best I’ve ever listened to. Keith Morrison’s narration is stellar.

Just once I’d love to hear Keith offer an apology for his obvious glee when someone gets convicted and then totally exonerated. It was painfully obvious at the end that Keith believed Ray actually killed Michelle. Ray, a Gulf War veteran and American patriot. Who basically lost everything and still isn’t bitter.
I’m giving this 4 stars for the story telling but 0 stars for Dateline’s refusal of accepting a judges opinion and full exoneration of an honest, American patriot.

There was an excellent podcast to be made from this case. This is not it. Keith Morrison talks about murder in the same tone he’d use to talk about a grand prize-winning zucchini at a county fair. The yarn-spinning grandfather approach is wildly inappropriate for the subject matter.
Morrison also has some questionable interviewing tactics. He often uses leading questions to get people to say what he wants. Sometimes he even tries to speak for them. More than once, he badgers grieving family members to get more sensational sound bites.
In early episodes, he gets sidetracked into supernatural elements that add nothing and lead nowhere. They only add to the feeling that Morrison isn’t taking any of this seriously.
Keith Morrison should stay far away from any podcasts dealing with subject matter more weighty than curiously shaped vegetables or the opening of a new children's museum.

I love the Dateline podcast. Mainly because there is usually an ending of true resolve. Not the case with this story. I understand that not all stories have a great ending. But I feel like there are many other stories they’ve covered that would be much more worthy of their time. If you’re gonna dedicate 6 episodes to one story, let it be one in which the listener is left with closure.
