  • Touching and Professional

    I love the way these journalists go into the story without judgements or a patronizing attitude. They have genuine interest - no, compassion and empathy for the subjects of their investigations.

    Be prepared to possibly shed some tears if you have a heart. I shed tears of all types including tears of joy when something happens that is positive. This is a listen that is an excellent use of your precious time.

    I wanted to like this but I couldn’t get past the host’s blatant ego and voice that sounded nails on a chalkboard. No thanks.

  • Deep. Beautiful. Inspiring.

    This story is hard - sad, emotional, heartbreaking. But the way Gilbert and his team deliver this story is incredible. This podcast is deep; I’ve cried, laughed, gasped and smiled throughout. Overall it’s a beautifully produced show by people who are truly making a difference.
