  • Trash

    This is the most drawn out repetitive podcast I ever heard. It’s also boring. He also plays inaudible interviews that you can’t understand. Do not recommend.

  • Excellent production but…

    Is this story really worth 10 episodes of investment of your time? Arguably not. This is a well-produced podcast. Plenty of legwork went into this investigation and the storytelling is top-notch. I just don’t know how this story stands out from the thousands of other missing or murdered people who played with fire a little too long and got burned. People disappear all the time after deciding to hang with criminals and other trashy groups. It’s sad, and nobody deserves to be killed or other... more

  • Drowning Creek was nice background audio during household chores, and I enjoyed it enough to listen through to the end. However, I think Drowning Creek struggled to differentiate itself from other True Crime podcasts. It didn't have an angle that made this story unique from other missing persons' cases; I didn't feel a reason why this podcast was a more important or compelling story than the many others like it.

  • Hard to follow

    Most of the interviews that were played were impossible to hear. The storyline isn’t linear and it’s hard to follow.

NEW SEASON: Nobody Should Believe Me

Concerns stem from the lack of understanding of the child's homeland and the complex cultural dynamics that are often ignored.
NEW SEASON: Nobody Should Believe Me
Q: What do you think is the biggest kind of misconception or set of misconceptions about transracial adoption?
The misconception is that the white parent knows more, leading to a narrative where the adoptee should be grateful. Instead, it requires more energy and time from parents.
