About this listen

'Monster: BTK', the newest installment in the 'Monster' franchise, reveals the true story of the Wichita, Kansas serial killer who murdered at least 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Known by the moniker, BTK – Bind Torture Kill, his notoriety was bolstered by the taunting letters he sent to police, and the chilling phone calls he made to media outlets. BTK's identity was finally revealed in 2005 to the shock of his family, his community, and the world. He was the serial killer next door.

From Tenderfoot TV & iHeartPodcasts, this is 'Monster: BTK'.

exploitative, breathless narration, repetitive, just poor overall. (reviews need 15 word minimum but nothing else to add)

Negatives: Too many Heart radio ads, the main narrator doesn't make you feel invested.
They do repeat a lot of subject matter.
Positives:
Hearing from the actual relatives of BTK and how he was day to day was really interesting. Plus hearing some examples from his book and people on the case helps form a bigger picture
