  • Great journalism

    While the topic covered can be upsetting, Andrea does a wonderful job of reporting the facts. There is no sensationalism.

    These stories deserve to be heard, and I hope that shedding a light on men’s bad behavior can protect women going forward.

    Season 4: better than s3 but still incl unnecessary episodes. Up to 4 stars.

    Season 3: couldn’t get through it. Staying at 3 stars.

    Season 2: 4 stars. It would've been five stars except they put in so many unnecessary bonus episodes that had nothing.

    Season 1: Please drop more soon! I likeHow the format is that it tells the story upfront and then talks to the individual victims. There are a lot of ads but I understand that it costs a lot to put out this free podcast. 5 stars

    I’ve been binge-listening and I’m blown away by what people are capable of doing to one another. The bravery of those sharing their stories is incredible. This podcast is not only powerful, but deeply educational—especially for recognizing red flags in the people closest to us.

    It’s also a reminder that you never truly know what someone else is going through. Some of the ways victims are treated, even after coming forward, are hard to comprehend.
