i really liked listening to this. but the moment i searched her name and watched the Vice video, everything changed for me. i think with only focusing on her narrative you missed on giving us a true and complete picture of her character. the woman on the Vice video is very much different than the carachter that i got to know in this podcast. i think it would've been much better if you were adding 1 episode only about her character now and what she is doing or maybe dive deeper into her backgroun

"I’m absolutely loving 'To Die For'! The storytelling is gripping, and the way the host delves into each case with such detail and empathy is incredible. It’s clear a lot of research and heart goes into every episode. Can’t wait to see what’s next! https://www.spreaker.com/episode/future-of-biodegradable-custom-packaging--60845054

I truly don't care whether she's telling the truth or not. I found the story and the way she told it very interesting. I was entertained and intrigued. If this was listed as fiction or was a movie, I'd probably watch it. Just need something relatively interesting to listen to while working and avoiding my impossibly annoying coworker.
