I’m giving this podcast 5 stars because of the reporting and research that went into it. I liked it so much I am hoping the host reads the comments and will consider this: - There is some unnecessary insertion of selves into the story at places, which exposes a physical discomfort with rural areas and with some of the people interviewed. Edit that out. It isn’t a fact. It is otherizing commentary that says more about the class/world the host usually lives in than about the story. Great example is the visit to the home of a man tried twice for a murder he did not commit. Hosts record the drive, where they make clear that oh. my. gosh. this is really scary and rural. Another example is the meeting with Jeremy, where the male host is nervous and worries at some length about the safety of the female host, the type of chair that will be the hardest to leap out of, etc. Edit it out.
