    Ivy Insights

    The Man In The Window: The Golden State Killer podcast is an incredibly gripping and well-executed true crime series that delves into the horrifying crimes committed by the Golden State Killer. From start to finish, this podcast had me on the edge of my seat, unable to stop listening.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the level of research and investigative work that went into telling this story. Paige St. John does an exceptional job of uncovering new information and presenting it in a way that keeps listeners engaged and wanting more. The interviews with the victims and law enforcement add a personal touch to the narrative, making it even more compelling.

    Another standout feature of this podcast is its ability to shed light on the flaws within the law enforcement agencies that handled this case 40 years ago. It is baffling and infuriating to hear about the level of incompetence and ego-driven decision-making that prevented some victims from being saved. This podcast serves as a wake-up call to how far we've come as a society in terms of handling crime, but also highlights what still needs to be fixed.

    While there were very few negative aspects to this podcast, one minor critique could be that it may be too intense for some listeners. The graphic details of the crimes can be disturbing for sensitive individuals, so it's important to be aware of that before diving into this series.

    In conclusion, The Man In The Window: The Golden State Killer podcast is a must-listen for true crime enthusiasts. It offers an in-depth look at one of the most notorious criminals in history, while also highlighting the resilience and strength of his victims. Paige St. John's storytelling abilities are commendable, making this series both informative and captivating.
