The second episode has the same structure as the first.

It is a continuation of the story, so Vanessa and Carter continue to unravel the mysterious murder of "The Black Dahlia."

Vanessa and Carter start the episode by describing a incident in the Psych ward.

New people are introduced into the storyline. Lillian Lenerach, an inspiring actress and model. And Mary, who escorted her to the hospital.

George Hodell was a very smart young kid who praised him He had one of the highest IQ's in his school. He graduated early from high school.

At 15 years old he went to Caltech University, where he began getting involved with the wife of one of his professors. He got her pregnant, which led to the breakdown of her marriage. He then wanted to marry her, but she laughed in his face and took him as a joke. This was the main event that changed Hodell's life. This fueled his anger for many years to come.

He became a doctor, but began taking advantage of them. He blackmailed them and would misdiagnose them and make them pay more money to be treated.

He marries a childhood love, Dorothy, aka Derero. They had an open marriage and the marriage soon deteriorated.

The podcast did a really good job of telling the listeners what they needed to know, but there was some extra info about George that could have been told. They didn't really dive into his childhood. I wish i knew more about his parents and how he was raised. Was he happy in his home?

A lot of the same things carry over into this episode. It has the same structure as the last episode. They use sounds to describe events, and background music helps to set the mood of the scene.

1:05::1:16- The background music suddenly changes from a happy, dancey mood to a somber, dark and eerie music. They are talking about how the church was supposed to be a safe place for everyone, until a young girl went for confessions and never came back.

3:02::3:15- We hear a knocking on a door and the sound of it opening. Irene's father is going around asking if people have seen her.

18:16::20:00- There is eerie, sad, instrumental music playing in the background while we hear the cops telling everyone to search for Irene.

The sound production affected the episode by adding a more suspense feel. it also helped by emphasizing certain parts of the story. If there were no sound effects or music, the episode would be very plain, boring, uninteresting, and dull. The listeners would easily doze off and not be captured in the story.

The opening of the episode begins with a brief recap of Irene's disappearance and murder, and how it has effected the whole town.

The episode ends with the narrator summing the crime up by saying, " This case is a reminder that no person or no organization should be above the law."

The ending stuck with me because she summed it up very well.

Throughout the episodes of this podcast you can see a lot of reoccurring structure.

They have the same outro music in every episode, they like to add somber music whenever they are describing certain situations, and they always talk in a specific tone of voice to make it more serious.

This podcast is very enjoyable. The narrators make you want to keep listening by adding little factors that make it more intriguing and pulls you in. If they did not have these factors It would be a very boring podcast.
