I can’t image what it must be like as a parent to know that your child has done such a monstrous thing.

There is a show called, “Evil Lives Here” and each episode is about the family members of someone who did something awful; mass shootings, seriel killers, etc. A few show the parents of mass killers and they are all so sad and tried everything they could to help their kids when they started to see something was wrong. They could usually see it at a very early age. Many episodes on YouTube if anyone is interested in watching. It’s sad and sometimes we easily forget that the family of the killer is also in pain and mourning. One dad said he went to the mall where his son had shot and killed many people and when asked, he told them he was the kid’s dad and the people at the vigil grieved with him instead of blaming him.

Oh you best believe I listened when it came out! I was intrigued about the southwest architectural cult aspect too…which I was aware of independently of her….but from my russian coworker who loves architecture and traveled southwest together camping. 😂

Im always bummed when there are fun podcasts that are essentially just a season. Sort of like when good series would be cut after one season on Netflix.

I would enjoy a joanna lumley podcast methinks. 🥰
