  • Thank you for your hard work!

    Easily my favourite podcast to listen to, constantly trying to find new episodes I might not have heard. Would 100% pay a subscription for more. For this pod it would be well worth it.

  • Good content, but

    The host’s voice is hard for me to get past. It’s so monotone that it distracts me completely from the content.

  • This man groomed groomed the child and the mum let him

    Another great Ep Jiles. That episode was incredibly frustrating. I really hope the mother is held accountable—knowing about the abuse and doing nothing is inexcusable. Absolutely vile.
