As both a pet owner and a true crime fan, this was right up my alley, cat. Quick binge with humor and heart.

The story is intriguing, but it is really the reporting/narrating that made this podcast excellent. Todd weaves a tale that is informative yet illustrative, peppered with moments of humor and levity. I am awed by how he managed to remain so objective without sacrificing genuine empathy.
Excellent
