Just how much of the story of 'how you came to be' makes up who you are? It's not a question most people think about, but for journalist, Nina Young, it's a question she can't avoid because she might not be here today if a woman hadn't lost her life late one night in the bush in 1977. In this six…
The My Father The Murderer podcast is a truly compelling and emotional storytelling experience. It delves into the life of Nina and her family, who had the unfortunate experience of being connected to a man with a dark past. The strength, courage, and resources that Nina's mother had to escape from her abusive husband are commendable, and it is heartwarming to see how they were able to overcome this challenging situation. The podcast does an excellent job of highlighting the resilience and bravery of these individuals.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to explore the perspectives of those who are often overlooked - the family members of the murderer. It humanizes them and sheds light on their experiences and struggles in dealing with the aftermath of their loved one's crimes. Through Nina's powerful letter to her father, listeners can truly understand the pain and complexity involved in navigating such a difficult relationship. It is both heartbreaking and thought-provoking.
However, there are some aspects that may not resonate with all listeners. This podcast focuses heavily on personal narratives rather than investigative reporting or unraveling new information about the crimes committed by Nina's father. If you are looking for a true crime podcast that provides extensive details about criminal cases, this may not be what you're expecting. Nonetheless, this unique narrative style adds depth and humanity to an often overlooked side of crime stories.
In conclusion, The My Father The Murderer podcast delivers an important story with grace and authenticity. It explores trauma, its impact on future generations, and the complex dynamics within families affected by crime. While it may not fit into traditional true crime podcast categories like Serial or Bear Brook, it stands out as a deeply personal journey that leaves a lasting impression on its listeners. I highly recommend it for those who appreciate heartfelt storytelling and exploration of difficult themes surrounding familial relationships in the context of crime.
