  • Great podcast, terrible audio.

    Love this podcast for the safe environment it creates for people to share their stories. Only thing, the audio is atrocious, you have to turn it up all the way to hear the hosts and guests, sometimes that’s not even enough. Hosts vs guests volume level is often very different. Then you get your ears blasted out when an add comes on. Please work on the audio.

    Thank you for the empathetic and supportive podcast.

  • 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”

  • Really Well Done Podcast

    This is a really well done podcast which is very victim focussed on a very difficult topic I do find some of the stories very hard but necessary for what they highlight the two hosts are very good with each other as well I would recommend (hope you can get a Patreon going)

    I hear you! As the parent of a son killed in Cleveland your frustration with the CPD broke my heart. I prayed that no other families were treated the way we were and then I heard your experience. Our detective never got back to us after that beer (it’s been more than a year).
