Popular Reviews of Dead and Gone

The narration on what Jerry's thinking while he's on stage, the scene during the Acid Tests, mentions of Ken Kesey or even Jack Kerouac / Neal Cassidy.... all that nonsense isn't relevant to a true crime case which occurred in 1986. Listen - Jack and Neal died in the late 1960s. What do you have to talk about Pig Pen for? As for the true crime aspects, the thing is a leap. Highjacking Weston, a low IQ dude who likely had zero to do with the crime, seems criminal itself. There is a huge injustice here in that this guy Bo sounds like he did it and another guy was sent up for it, but there are so many issues with ingesting this podcast's meandering nature. It's all foreplay, no finish. My guess is Bo is guilty and will live out his days a hermit in a trailer in some dusty piece of land haunted by his crimes. Makes a strong case against kharma being a real thing.

This one is not working for me. Jake Brennan is great, but Payne Lindsey is just so boring. I kept losing track of the story, zoning out, and getting lost. I thought maybe I was just too distracted so I tried to focus harder, but I kept finding that I was still not listening. Then Brennan would come on and I would listen again, but I realized not only did I not know the story anymore, but I also didn't care. It doesn't help that the story is convoluted, and not much seems to be happening in the first three episodes.
