This week for the Spotcast Sunday feature, I am reviewing the TV & film podcast, I’ll Be Gone In The Dark. This show was last updated in August 2020. This podcast has an explicit language warning. There are 9 episodes to listen to at the time of writing. The following overview is provided from the Apple Podcast page: The official HBO podcast hosted by Nancy Miller. In 2013, Michelle McNamara published he groundbreaking article about The Golden State Killer in LA Magazine with the help of her editor, Nancy Miller. McNamara died in 2016, and her book on the subject, I’ll Be Gone In The Dark, was released two years later. Now, I’ll Be Gone In The Dark is an HBO Documentary series, exploring the cases and McNamara’s devotion to it. In this official companion podcast, Miller checks in every week with series directors Academy Award-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Liz Garbus and Elizabeth Wolff. Miller also speaks with the people closest to McNamara and the investigation – including McNamara’s husband, comedian Patton Oswalt; Carol Daly, one of the original detectives on the case; and more. Stream new episodes of I’ll Be Gone In The Dark, starting in June 28th, Sundays at 10 pm on HBO and HBO Max. For more information and resources, go to HBO.com/gone.
This was a nice companion piece to the HBO show. While it added some to the conversations had in the episodes, I didn’t feel like it added enough to have a podcast. Maybe I need to rewatch the show one episode at a time and then listen to the corresponding podcast episode. It’s worth checking out if you enjoyed the show.
I give this podcast 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Movie Monday feature, I am reviewing the musical film, Diana: The Musical. Next week for the Spotcast Sunday feature, I am reviewing the true crime podcast, Crimes of the Centuries. Until then keep listening on; Nerd out.
