  • Too much reposting

    All this show does is repost and repost. I don’t think they’ve uploaded an original podcast in months. Every single one is just recycled through with a different title. Get some new content!

  • Steve Hodel is a brilliant investigator. He solved it and the LAPD definitely covered it up because George Hodel had blackmail on many celebs and those in law enforcement. George did 100's of "backroom abortions" & had the skinny on many through his VD clinic.

  • Just can’t anymore

    I can’t listen to these I Survived stories anymore. When the subject is a man, it is nearly always about an outdoor misadventure. When the subject is a woman, it is nearly always about being brutalized by a man. The repetition is just too disturbing.

  • At least cases are solved

    Every show of “I Survived”

    starts with a rape story and ends with a Jesus name drop. Sick of it.
