didn't even make it 5 minutes in

I really wanted to like this podcast. It seemed like that would have been an interesting topic and if the stories have been written and told correctly, it would have been a hit. The problem is, the producers and the storytellers try to take too long to extend the process. You don't even get any information or get to the actual meat of the story until about 15 to 20 minutes in. by then you put me to sleep. I only listen to about the first 8 minutes of the first episode, and that didn't even tell me the story. I never even heard of the stalker or any information on what really happened. She spent too much time trying to set up a situation that we already know is going to happen. The problem is, this is radio and yes you have to build a story but you also have to get to the point. sound effects and musical intros are not needed in a true story podcast. The producers and the storyteller or idea person for the show, need to change up their approach.

Just no.

The first podcast seems to start over 9 times, each time with a slightly different presentation, performance and script…almost as if to pass them by a focus group to see which is best? That work should have been done by now. The protagonist then keeps interrupting once you’re actually immersed in the audio environment to tell you how she wants you to feel and where we are. WE KNOW. And the overly flowery, cliche descriptions add some unintended humor to the mix. Net: the writer doesn’t know how to write, and the producer didn’t know how to produce.

It’s so dry.

The slowest story telling I have ever heard. Got through the first episode, barely, it’s unbelievably uninteresting.

Lily was rude

A cautionary tale. Much can be learned.
I finished 3 episodes and there’s one important fact revealed though almost buried: Lily never responded to X.
We’re born with a social contract, an obligation to be mannerly to strangers. Ignoring someone who is greeting you or vying for your attention is very rude. While X is a nutcase not worth interacting with, Lily was obliged to acknowledge his existence and tell him bluntly that his attention was unwanted. For a man (and probably a woman for all I know) with an infatuation there is nothing worse than being ignored. It can literally drive someone crazy.

Lily is trying to have all things. She craves the adoration of her fans yet wishes the power and control of anonymity. And now she is claiming the virtue of victimhood as she’s locked in a power struggle.
(Since 2001 especially, the news media and politicians have been calling victims heroes as if they have done something honorable to earn victim status. Increasingly, people have sought this moniker and seek to hang on to it. Leftists primarily have leveraged victims-as-heroes to gain influence while it’s the nature of rightists to disclaim victimhood as a goal.)

Certainly Lily is a victim and X is in the wrong. But let us also recognize that Lily’s problem is partly of her own making. Celebrities have an obligation to be fair and courteous to their fans as we all are obliged to mind our manners.

Relatable, but not for me.

I’m empathic towards her trauma. The way she chose to tell this story wasn’t for me. It comes across as just a whole helluva lot of not-so-humble-bragging.

Interesting podcast

Good intro to what the rest of the episodes are going to be about. It got me interested in continuing to listen to the podcast. I'm about 3 episodes in and still interested. The performance is good. I usually don't like music or sound effects in books, but in this series I haven't found it to be distracting. One sound effect did embarrassingly make me spin and block. I was in the kitchen, wearing headphones and it sounded like something was falling down behind me. Otherwise, good read.

Couldnt get into production.

Couldnt get into the production of this podcast nor Lily’s voice. If you can get passed the over production then maybe you’ll be into this.

Worth It

This is a carefully constructed series about living with being stalked. The first episode is heavy, confusing/disorienting because being stalked is confusing - stay with it! It’s immersive (esp w how this podcast uses sound to create a sense of anxiety and dread).

It’s a really honest account of what stalking does to you. This is not a hard boiled crime story. It’s a slow boil memoir of living inside a crime.

Be careful about when and how you listen because it’s the kind of thing that can keep you up at night!

I could not get past her voice

It’s nice she seemed very proud of herself and her career but her voice made me stop listening
