The Seduction - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The story is so well told with enough details to have us imagine what was seen by the victims and guilty. This is one of those stories where not only do we have innocent and guilty but one is both. The monster in this story manipulates a man-boy and knows exactly how to get him to do what she needs him to in order to live a life without working hard again. Jaime in this situation is the classic case of what happens when a child doesn’t have his mother’s love and searches his whole life for it, only to find a user and abuser who leaves a trail of victims in her path. Keith does his research and views the scene photos himself, asks the victims and guilty questions to get more info for us and asks the right ones. He tells stories like a story book but without the fluff from fairytales. His sarcasm is noted and adds to the tone. I hope Ron’s girls heal over time and Jaime finds help through therapy. Both saw how wonderful Ron was and his legacy left.

I love the story, but the length of the episodes is ridiculous. 30 min episodes, which include several minutes of ads, and waiting a week between each episode. No other true crime podcast series operates this way. Either drop the episodes all at once or make them longer. Seems like a cheap money grab the way it’s set up right now.

Excellent podcast! Must listen if you like true crime, this is one of the best.
Horrible story but have compassion for Jaime. Well done Dateline.

I’ll listen to any story Keith Morrison has to tell. While the others on Dateline also do a great job, not one compares to Keith’s humor and all around wonderful delivery. I search for his presentations, save them and listen to him
almost exclusively. Just wish he did much more. Thanks for a great collection, Keith!

story was interesting. keith morrison is always a vibe. love him. but suuuper short episodes that make u forget the plot line from episode to episode. obvious it was not well thought through. couldve been so much better. 9/10 swing and a miss

Leading questions, quick assumptions… yeah. We get it. From minute 2 or 3, it’s clear the primary female subject of this true crime podcast is a black widow. Would be way more engaging with even an *attempt* at an objective tone. Not research methodology, or reliability/depth/breadth of sources. TONE. That is how low I am setting the bar. There’s journalism, and then there’s sensationalism. Dateline, whether it’s on TV or in podcast form, is the latter. You can do way, way better in your pursuit of genuinely good true crime podcasts. I recommend you keep looking.
