The Lady Vanishes

Painfully long and drawn out. Completely inane full length interviews are included. Hosts repeat info over and over and over. Daughter repeats same diatribe over and over and over. Interesting story - but could have been crafted into a compelling story in a handful of episodes.

Excellent podcast. Cannot believe I’m just hearing about this. What a story. It’s heartbreaking but very well done

At it best, it is quite a podcast. Sometimes, however, you have the feeling they fluff it up unnecessarily. One struggles to understand, for example, the point of the long readings of the suspect’s letters to another woman. We know he is a liar, we know he has no shame, let’s get on with it. I skipped the “conversations” chapters after the first one: they do not add anything. In all, however, a very decent podcast.

So much repetitive information and interviews with unimportant people just proposing theories. This could have been edited down to like six strong episodes. I honestly skipped stuff bc it dragged so much.

This podcast may have worked better in real time. When I found it, wasn't totally over but most episodes had dropped and the inquest episodes I found especially tedious and while I appreciate the accuracy they were going for with the French-accented suspects and witnesses, it became impossible to listen to. I think it could have benefited from snippets of the recreation of the inquest with a lot more narration. I'm sure the idea was for the people involved to speak for themselves, as it were, but I have made it most of the way through, but the hour+-long episode/interview with the main suspect's ex-wife was too much and I had to stop. It's awful what happened to Sally's mother and brother, and ultimately to her; and how dismissive the cops were, and I am very glad for her that she had these people from News7 to really push the matter forward, but if you are listening to this not in real time, it's just, well, tedious, too many episodes and could use some editing.
