    Ivy Insights

    The Small Town Forgotten podcast is a gripping true crime series that has captivated me from the very beginning. As a resident living within an hour of the area in which the story takes place, I was immediately drawn to this podcast and eager to uncover the mysteries it presents. From the first episode, I was hooked and binged listened to all episodes except for the last one because it wasn't yet available. The podcast's storytelling and production are top-notch, surpassing many other true crime podcasts out there.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its compelling story and thorough investigation into an unsolved crime. The hosts delve deep into the case, presenting listeners with all available information and leaving no stone unturned. The narrative is well-structured, keeping you engaged and constantly wanting to know more. The attention to detail in recounting the events surrounding the crime is commendable, making you feel like you're right there with them as they unravel the mystery.

    Furthermore, the podcast's production quality is outstanding. The audio is clear and crisp, allowing for easy listening and understanding. The hosts' voices are pleasant to listen to, adding another layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. They have clearly put a lot of effort into researching and presenting this story, evident in their detailed discussions and interviews with key individuals involved in the case.

    While it's challenging to find any negatives about this podcast, if I had to point out one aspect that could be improved upon, it would be that some episodes could benefit from more concise storytelling. Occasionally, certain details or tangents may feel slightly extraneous or lengthy, causing a temporary loss of momentum within the episode. However, this is only a minor issue that does not detract significantly from my overall enjoyment of the series.

    In conclusion, The Small Town Forgotten podcast has surpassed my expectations as a true crime enthusiast living near the area where these events took place. Its engaging storytelling style combined with impeccable production quality make it stand out among similar podcasts in the genre. I eagerly await the release of the final episode and hope that this case can finally find justice and closure for the family involved. I also look forward to any future projects from the podcast crew, as they have proven their ability to captivate and engage listeners.
