What elevates it to a crime so gruesome and compelling that it deserves its own podcast? In new true crime podcast 'A Very Fatal Murder,' David Pascall heads to Bluff Springs in the heart of small-town America, where the small town is reeling from the death of 17-year-old Hayley Price. Review here.
Sort of disspointed they didn't arrange for something to go up on boxbox.com

Both this and American Vandal feature “promposals”. Was that a thing in Serial or one of the other true crime podcasts they are satirizing?

This was much better than the other true crime parodies I've seen/listened to. I like that the episodes were short. Get the jokes in, move the story, and get out on a high note. This one does that better than similar attempts.
The only bit that I didn't like was the computer AI thing he was talking to, but the payoff made me forget how weird it was at the beginning.
Agreed that the ads were fantastic - especially the USPS one. I listen to a few hours of podcasts a day and we get it already stamps.com. You can dial it back a bit.

Can't wait for that pizza in two days.
I had to go back and listen to that a second time because I couldn't believe I heard the two days part.
It's going to be hard to take the Criminal podcast seriously for a while.
