"The whole thing plays out a bit like a movie. And is satisfying in much the same way. Though, of course, the end is never that Hollywood ending you crave. Because their authority and ability to make people talk is relatively limited. All of this is to say that Lost in Panama is an entertaining listen. It’s pretty straight-forward, and there isn’t a ton of filler the way there seems to be in many other true crime type pods. It’s relatively easy to follow, and the production is decent even though they are in the field for large chunks of it. It seems recording devices have improved markedly in the last couple of years. The investigation is pretty impressive, and I hope that they are able to do some sort of follow-up series to figure out if the all the leads they chased came to anything."
