True Crime Brewery

This podcast combines true crime and beer reviews. Yes, you heard that correct but I thought I would give it a try. The podcast has numerous shows but I focused on the Lori Hacking murder, Bed of Lies. This case revolves around the disappearance and murder of Lori Hacking by her husband in Salt Lake City. This is a very amateurish podcast. Sound is bad and I think it's a married couple that does the show. Their research is incomplete and is only made worse by their arm chair psychology. If that isn't enough, the episode is interrupted by a beer review. "Every time I go to Utah, I think of xxxx beer". Wow I do not recommend this podcast.

How did this get made?

I don't recommend this podcast.

Last Update 2/16/2020 I just finished the podcast today and I give this a 5 out of 5 stars. I start each episode thinking, what more can he say. Well, there's a lot and I will be googling this case for updates until Kristin is found. Episode 1 You are introduced to Kristin through her family and friends. A bit slow but necessary to learn about the victim. By end of this episode you will believe the host is totally committed to this podcast. I'm now hooked. Episode 2 The main and only suspect is discussed. If you are not totally hooked by now, don't listen to any more episodes. Episode 3 Chasing down the main suspect. You get very anxious listening to this episode, why can't they catch this guy? Episode 4 Help from North Carolina and mis...

1619

1619 was a recommended as one of the best podcasts of 2019. Last update 2/25/2020 Episode 1 Interesting start but having a hard time getting into it. Too much story line and an annoying background music. I'm still going to give this a chance. Episode 2 After about 10 minutes into the podcast the series finally takes off. This is show is a little more about questions and answers than a straight monologue. The business end of slavery comes to light.

This is a total shift from the first two episodes, give it about 5-6 minutes before checking to see if you have the correct podcast. Episode 4 American hospitals were segregated clear up to the sixties. Episode 5 Story of sugar cane farmer, part I. Episode 6 Sugar cane farmer part II. I feel episode's 5 ...
