    Ivy Insights

    The The Thing About Pam podcast is an exceptional true crime podcast that stands head and shoulders above all other dateline and true crime stories. From the artfulness of the writing to the production value, this podcast sets a high standard for storytelling. The host, Keith Morrison, is undeniably the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in his field. The podcast is expertly crafted by a talented team and it shines through in every episode. It's worth mentioning that Betsy Faria's case, the focus of this podcast, is incredibly tragic and heartbreaking.

    The best aspect of this podcast is definitely the storytelling. Keith Morrison's narration is unparalleled in its expressiveness and ability to captivate listeners. The trajectory of each episode is carefully constructed to guide listeners through all the twists and turns of this wild story. The production quality is top-notch, with appropriate music choices and a well-paced narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Additionally, the TV version of this story was equally excellent, showcasing the incredible attention to detail put into telling this complex tale.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to highlight about this podcast, one issue could be that some episodes may feel too short for those who are heavily invested in the story. Given the complexity and depth of Betsy Faria's case, it's understandable that not all details can be covered extensively within each episode. A longer runtime might have allowed for more in-depth exploration of certain aspects. However, this does not detract significantly from the overall quality of the podcast.

    In conclusion, The Thing About Pam podcast is an outstanding true crime series that excels in its storytelling and production value. It takes a tragic case and presents it in a gripping way that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish. Keith Morrison's narration adds an extra layer of excellence to an already superb production.

    Hosted by CNBC Senior Washington Correspondent Eamon Javers, “The Crimes of Putin's Trader” is the secret story of a young Russian oligarch who hacked his way to an illicit $93 million fortune...and the FBI team who finally brought him to justice. For generations, insider trading on Wall Street has been a crime of the American rich: the stereotype of corporate executives passing stock tips at country clubs was not far off. But new cyberwarfare techniques, and an aggressive anti-Western Putin regime in Moscow have turned this kind of insider corruption into an attack from the outside on the American economy itself, with profound implications for all of us who have retirement accounts, investments, or work in corporate America.

    Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russ Faria came home from game night to find his wife, Betsy, dead. He was soon charged and convicted of her murder. But Russ Faria insisted he did not kill his wife. Betsy’s brutal murder set off a chain of events that would leave one man dead, another man implicated, and expose a diabolical scheme. It would also see Dateline NBC—the true-crime original—become a part of the never-ending saga that proves the old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction. This original series from Keith Morrison and Dateline defies all expectations.
