07. Ghost Stories #1

I really do but I just can’t. The premise is good. Execution not so much. I know other true crime podcasts just copy and paste their notes to read from later but Kenny and Dara are super obvious about reading the straight up articles. Kenny’s voice goes monotone and I can’t tell if Dara is trying too hard or if her insane vocal fry is what ruins it. While I would love a true crime podcast based on Grand Rapids this is just not it.
