Behind the scenes and social media praise for Scamanda
Media Coverage for Scamanda
“THE most impressive trick of great storytelling is to make us want to know what happens even when we know what happens. The guilt of Amanda Riley is known before the first minute of Charlie Webster’s seven-hour, eight-episode podcast. It is not whether she did it which fascinates, but the how and the why. This is not an easy narrative strategy to maintain, and halfway into the series we find that there are, in fact, a clutch of people who had Riley down as a bad’un from the outset.”
