Repetitive at best

After episode three you hear the entire story all over again. They must have gotten paid per episode. After episode five I just skipped on to the epilogue.

Repetition in place of content.

The first half of the episodes seem to repeat the same information with different timelines revealing just a tiny bit of new information. The narrative is not that compelling so the changing event sequence is to keep you interested?

The resolution is somewhat anticlimactic.

Amazing story! I had no idea this happened!

What a cool true story! I love the way it is told and how you don’t know if he’s really a double agent or not! This should be a movie.

American History Made Radio Drama

This was an amazing retelling of the Richard W. Miller case and his story. I truly enjoyed the personal details of how each historical figure involved had a level of humanity to them and were tragically flawed. Excellent audio quality, truly rich in historical fact, and expertly composed.

captivating!

This story is so well written! It's like the author is pulling on a thread to unravel the story and with each pull, something different is exposed.

Complicated but Very Interesting

I'm not the smartest tool in the shed but I found it hard to keep up with. That could have been my fault. However, I found myself wanting to keep listening. It was fascinating, sad, amazing, unbelievable and supposedly true. I loved it.

A little longer than needed, but still enjoyable

The episode format meant that periodically bits of the story were repeated in multiple episodes, and I generally felt like it could have been told in a few fewer episodes, however it wasn’t egregious and kept me engaged.

Great listen

I really enjoyed this podcast. It was well produced and well told. If you enjoy a twisting and turning thread of a story, give it a listen.

Fascinating Account of the Spy Trial

This was a podcast about an FBI agent who was put on trial for espionage. A tangled web of sex, lies and misinformation and the "Mormon Mafia" in the FBI ensues. Actors voice various people involved. Miller himself was complex and an unlikely suspect. Excellently produced with a great cast and fascinating narrative, this is a must listen for true crime lovers. The damage done was not what you would expect. A riveting listen.

Podcast Lite

I was in LA at the time this all went down and remember some of the news stories, and I knew a guy who was on the periphery of the case. I was interested in learning more and putting the events in context with my own goings on at the time. I did get some of that, but was disappointed overall. The narration and voices were good but the grittiness of a case like this was missing, and it sometimes felt out of synch. This could have been done in half the time, it felt like they were stretching it out with repetition just to make it last longer.

I've listened to a few of Audible's podcasts and generally find them informative and well done. This one is okay, but not up to others I've listened to.
