- Great Podcast. Disturbing Story
This is an excellent podcast. The storytelling is top-notch and a lot of effort went into gathering the information necessary to tell the complete story.

The way they were taken advantage of by these two sociop... more

I did not see the last five minutes coming. I never considered what would have happened if he did die. It’s a story about these boys, but also a story about the town. How amazing to do a follow up and tell the entire story!

This is such a good story for understanding humans, society, the current Zeitgeist, all of the nuances about how systems and people can be simultaneously good and bad… all told with zero judgment, which is what I found the most unusual and refreshing about it in this polarised world. I would encourage people of all points of view to listen to this. Well done to the creators of this podcast, you did an amazing job.

Interesting story. That family is more than a bit crazy. Hope everyone gets therapy, or de-brainwashed. Hope Roen in particular gets therapy. The mom needs some help too….
