  • Stupid words!!

    I enjoyed this podcast, but when I am reading words, like unhoused, I’m done the word is homeless, not unhoused it’s called homeless and I don’t understand why so many are using these stupid words. They are stupid. The word is homeless, not an housed, homeless.

  • Good Podcast

    Has a different format than other Missing Persons podcasts. Works very well, imo, very professional and yet allows the vulnerability of survivors to come to the surface in a very respectful manner. Good job.
