True Crime · Apple TV / Spoke Media
by Apple TV / Spoke Media
In 1996, Sue Knight was found dead in her Athens, TX, home. Her will named a loose acquaintance as the executor of her estate, but after an alleged phone call from the CIA and a dire warning from the local sheriff, the executor stopped asking questions. More than 25 years later, Sue’s memory haunts the town of Athens and the people who knew her. Who was Sue, really? Why did this English expat settle in small-town Texas? And could she still be alive? Under Cover of Knight is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Spoke Media and Castleview Productions. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts. apple.co/UnderCover

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Is this podcast categorized incorrectly? Yes. It’s not really “true crime.” It is an in depth look into what it means to be human, the ups and downs, how we are perceived by those around us, the fragility of the human mind, and a heartwarming story about a family coming back together against seemingly impossible odds. It’s sweet and sad and funny and interesting. If you’re just here for murder porn, my advice is get a life and/or listen to another podcast.
I am shocked by the amount of negative reviews; they almost convinced me not listen. This is an interesting story of human nature and the life of an interesting person. The angle of the story telling didn’t pan out to be what the hosts teed up in the beginning but the story overall did not disappoint. Would recommend!
Holy cow I don't understand the anger and vitriol around this podcast! It's very well done. It's extraordinarily researched. Maybe because it didn't go the way you wanted it to go? Give the hosts, producers, consultants a break! I kept waiting for it to get bad considering the weird reviews. And it never did. So we may never know. I think it was fascinating and there were many reasons to look into the life of this person. I am quite frankly delighted that I found it.
went into all the information gathering, interviews, etc., to make this an intriguing and very interesting listen. Almost 30 years forward, I found it especially interesting what a BIG challenge it presented to revisit the “memories” of those involved. Your interview with the expert who explained about how ‘memory’ works was especially interesting. Your dogged dedication to searching for the “truth” was admirable! 👏👏👏 Thanks for all your hard work and the beauty that it reaped in the lives of this family❣️
I too, thought this was true crime based on the description but after the first few episodes, it slogs along and no answers are provided. The “investigation” gradually became a much slower character study, and episode after episode seemed to add very little new information. The podcast kept suggesting there might be a major revelation ahead, but the payoff never matched the buildup. The production quality is good, and some listeners may appreciate the exploration of memory, identity, and storytelling. However, if you’re expecting a true-crime mystery with meaningful answers or discoveries, you may find yourself frustrated by how drawn out the narrative becomes.
Y'all should be ashamed for making a spectacle off someone’s life without their consent. It’s wild you got to the point of recording yourselves trying to come up with reasons to justify your actions. This woman clearly had a lot of tragedy and heartbreak in her life. You chased down every acquaintance of hers from 30 years ago to surface random stories she told along the way to some people who may not have known better. You work to make a fool of the people she knew and her memory for your profit. No ethics. You should take this down.
