Pee Wee Gaskins Was Not My Friend

By: iHeartPodcasts
  • Summary

  • Pee Wee Gaskins was a master manipulator who befriended many of his victims on the way to becoming South Carolina's most notorious mass murderer. He stabbed, shot, drowned and poisoned more than a dozen people. And for his final act he used dynamite in a brazen murder for hire scheme while his victim was on death row. Pee Wee conned everyone around him and charmed one unwitting accessory to assist in this final brutal deed.

For a story full of drama this podcast is boring

every episode seems exactly the same as the one before, they even replay the same interviews many times throughout the episodes. There is no climax, nothing to hook you in. The actual story is a wild one, so wild that it's hard to understand how this ended up so boring. there was no timeline, and bounces all over the place so it was extremely hard to follow.

Ponderous, meandering, dull story of mass murder?

The first minutes of this sound like it is going to be a wild, action packed telling of a career criminal with a murderous streak. Somehow, it manages to avoid most of the details of the crimes and focus on aspects of the criminal's life, the author's life, and many other tangents. One full episode focused mostly on racism and social issues in South Carolina in the 1970s.

I listened to 5 episodes, and never did hear a single detail of the infamous prison murder outlined in the opening minutes. Sounds like a great topic, but this podcast fails to deliver.
