  • Update Episode

    I agree with everyone about the ads (quantity and lack of smooth transition). However, I really did like the reporting and it was (is) an interesting story. The reason I’m rating this 2 stars is due to the update episode. It’s crazy to me how they do not acknowledge the dangers of the “TAKE IT DOWN” act and how it could be used for censorship. I will not get into details here as there have been numerous articles written about this but to not bring it up on this podcast is irresponsible. They als... more

  • Poorly produced

    A really hard subject, really dark, and bleak. But there is ABSOLUTELY NO transition from this subject matter into ads. It's terrible podcasting. How long would it take to say, "more after the break?" A second. Which would be tolerable. As is, it's so jarring. Does a disservice to all the women who participated.

  • Brilliant, well written and well investigated!

    This podcast had me hooked from the beginning and I raced through it. I may re listen - that’s how well written and investigated it is. This podcast is a must listen on the emerging issues women face, and the hosts handle really sensitive and upsetting stories with empathy but also never shying away from the details.
