Popular Reviews of The Miami Chronicles

The Miami Chronicles: Booby Trap - no spoilers!I found this podcast from the Apostrophe Podcast Network with Acast really fascinating before I knew why. Now I realize it's because the main narrator Michael Fragomeni starts it out by making it sound like he's your college roommate recounting his wild childhood then goes on to sound like it should be a movie only to end by proving why it's in the true crime category. No wonder he wrote a book. It could have been a movie. Not only is he a great storyteller but how the content was edited to unravel itself was masterful. They’ve made it the first season of a podcast called The Miami Chronicles. All aspects of crime are covered including backstory, complete timeline, and possibilities of what the details and motives could have been. You find out information in the order Mike does but in a satisfying 8 episodes instead of the 30 years it was for him. All episodes were needed and are essential to the story. Could it have been fewer episodes? Honestly, I don't think so. Sure, they might have been able to cram all the information into fewer episodes but that wouldn’t have done Richard Brush or this fascinating coming-of-age story justice. I didn't mind the episode previews with the show which is a first for me. Usually, I skip through them but for these, they actually sparked curiosity instead of giving away major spoilers. Big warning here: The music intro is a bit long in the first episode but skips through it and it’s worth it! I think the reason this podcast wasn’t more popular was that some weren’t willing to skip through it. In Ep 4 commercials start and Ep 7 has sudden sound effects that help with the story you don’t see before. I did not want this slow-burn sprawling podcast to end.
