Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia

natasha_lafrance shared a tip "A very very dark but binge worthy podcast. It’s not often I find myself shocked listening to true crime but this family went beyond what I’ve heard. Definitely take some time to listen to this sad but interesting story."

inkyzp shared a tip "I haven't liaten to this one yet I am listening to Morbid currently. All I know though, is that all the podcasts art true crime or fictional crime. ^^"

joanne_haberlin shared a tip "This is such an interesting podcast. It's the story of the family and everything they've gone through and suffered in their association with the black dahlia murder. The hosts are amazing."

dawn_ailetcher shared a tip "The draw for this podcast was the story's link to the Black Daliah murder. But this story evolved into some really dark family history. The two sisters who host the podcast are incredibly easy to listen to. Their tact and grace in speaking with members of their family about delicate and volitile subject matter in amazing. I promise this podcast is worth your time."

araceli_hernandez_311 shared a tip "It’s kind of hard to say exactly cause they all give me the creeps but I love true crime! I personally liked when they found and heard the tapes from their mother"

lydia_larson_5731 shared a tip "I haven't listened to this one either yet, I will say I have heard of the story of the black dahlia that is what intrigued me to this podcast"

brandi_hernandez shared a tip "It has all the kinds of debauchery to keep you interested. The family is a complete mess and the father was a suspect in the Black Dhalia murder. It’s got chaos, murder and mayhem."

brandy_amanda shared a tip "Yes!!! I loved it. It gets pretty in-depth into some trauma, so you might wanna check out any trigger warnings you might have, but it is definitely worth the listen."

stephanie_strutz shared a tip "Yes! This is so good, I was thinking about listening to it again. It can be difficult to keep people straight, there are a lot of people involved."

alexandra_szakacs shared a tip "I recommend beginning on the first episode and making your way through as it is an investigative podcast and all 8 are related. The first is called Saved by the ghetto."

morgan_barber shared a tip "Come for the true crime, stay for the dark family history. I don't know if I believe the hypothesis of George Hodel being a serial killer (or even the killer of the black dahlia, but I'm pretty sure he killed his secretary, and he was definitely a sexual predator), but the dark family twists and turns are definitely the stuff that kept me hooked."

melissa_leighty_hat shared a tip "That this is a true story of so much more than one murder it’s 70 years in the making. Two sisters a supportive uncle and a box of old recordings of their amazing mother’s story. It’s truly my favorite podcast"

michelle_langstaff shared a tip "This was dark and sometimes uncomfortable to listen to. You definitely need a thick skin for this one. On the other hand it was so intriguing I couldn't stop listening."

hazel_w_1986 shared a tip "I cant believe this is real. This is the most absurd, roller coaster esque true crime story, and it is about one of the most famous murders in american history!"

tequila shared a tip "This was a good podcast put together so well. It's disturbing but even more disturbing is all the people that experience these situations but take it to the grave. Either to embarrassing to talk about or if your in the type of family where "what is done in this house stays in this house" or have the stigma of therapy is a no-no. Therefore you suffer in silence or the pattern continues. It's very hard to listen to especially if you have trauma but very good at the same time."

emily_f_9458 shared a tip "I have yet to listen to it I just liked to to make it easier to find but I think it should be good? It seems interesting and this case is quite intriguing om its own"
