  • Rough male co host

    Big fan of Amy but the co host is really hard to listen to and I would listen again if it was just Amy and the guests

  • Insightful/Necessary

    My awareness has expanded. This is highly insightful and necessary to listen to. While listening to this I felt Amy’s pain. I am thankful for the creators making this. I didn’t know this stuff existed! And in the family??

    Masterful and necessary storytelling. This is an amazing use of talent and creativity to make us all better. To me it transcends “infotainment”

From the psychological reasons behind such horrific acts, I am just so curious as to how anyone gets to that point to where murdering a family member is just acceptable to the perpetrator.
