    I think this might be my second review, just wanted to stop by and say that I love all the hard work you put into these cases. I enjoy how it shows your human inside, your anger, you’re sadness, the laughs! Hearing hard information like this should be with a little bit of everything to help process. P.S LOVE the latest episode about Colleen 💔 You gave her a voice.

  • Fantastic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I first discovered this podcast through the Gisèle Pelicot episodes, and I was instantly hooked. From there, I went right back to the very first episode and have been working my way through every single one to the most recent.

    I love how each case is told with such respect, genuine empathy, and heartfelt emotion. It’s clear that so much care goes into telling the victims’ stories, and that really sets this podcast apart.

    Keep up the amazing work, Hazah!!!

    However, I barely made it through episode 1. The word “like” was used so many times it was difficult to take the story seriously and pay attention. It’s a common bad habit to use “like” as a filler and it can be beyond distracting. I am hoping as they go forwa... more
