Thank you for the excellently produced and researched podcast. The only criticism I have is that the advertisements are exceptionally jarring and potentially more triggering when they occur during the brave retelling of heinous acts committed on a survivor. I understand that ads are necessary to providing a free podcast, but can they please be more appropriately timed when distressing content is being discussed? Maybe at the start/finish of the germane subject matter.
Apple Podcasts5Ann_ReedAustralia2 months ago - Great Podcast-Edey
I found this podcast bc I listened to Our Little Edey a little over a year ago and have been following her case ever since. This podcast seems so important, especially right now, bc there seems to be such a worldwide problem with pedophilia and people in power abusing it. There unfortunately are so many stories like this one and they all need to be shared and heard. Victims deserve justice and these monsters deserve to be exposed and held accountable. I found this podcast interesting, informativ... more

I’ve been listening to Our Little Edey since the start, and this is even more shocking. The lengths that some people will go to in supporting predators and covering up for them is disgusting. This is a well researched and well-made podcast, thank you to all involved.
