I stood on a hilltop watching the firefighters battle the fla mm es of Oles in South Pasadena Was very sobering to learn how people were trapped
the story is a fascinating one, and if you don't know the story of the Pillow Pyro, then it's worth a listen. But in a series of short episodes each heavy with ads, a recap of past episodes, and sensationalized teasers for the next episode, you're really only getting about ten minutes of new information each week, which seems excessive, especially since a glut of true crime podcasts have covered this case.
The cover art caught my eye. Striking, simple, but with a dual message. Listened to the trailer. Great writing, and high production value. As the daughter of a volunteer firefighter, I grew up with fire and I can’t wait to listen to this.
