- Very important podcast
The importance of this podcast is too vast to ignore, how we are living now & how we want our children to live depends on our actions in this moment, this year & our lifetime’s.
Shamima was 15, who can make such a decision at 15- she should be returned to the UK & given another chance.

Canada3 months ago - First season was much better
It is mostly well done and Josh is a good journalist but somehow they just skipped going into depth about why she joined ISIS in the first place. Maybe she didn’t want to discuss it and trauma-informed journalism is extremely important but that should have been said why that huge piece of the r story was left out. She’s painted in an unsympathetic character and as someone who works with survivors of trauma I understand she deserves more understanding but this podcast made me angry at her and fru... more

United States3 months ago - Seem biased
I always appreciate the hard work of true investigative journalist who risk their lives to find the truth. I do find it so odd he was so harsh to Sam. Picking apart words she use when she clearly hasn’t used English for a long time to even questioning if she was really tortured. sure ppl may lie about it but he hasn’t provide any motive or evidence she was lying. Of all the things to check out , being tortured or not by ISIS just seems weird and spent quite a long time on this
It’s good to ques... more
Apple Podcasts3DcdandanCanada3 months ago - Interesting podcast
Interesting insight, albeit, a bit exploitative for commercial gain.
Looking forward to the podcast on British citizens who left to join the IDF, I returned with no repercussions from a genocidal state.
