    Why not just come out and admit you were on a crusade on the wife’s behalf,as she fought the supposed good ole boy network. You chose wrong side of this because of your bias

    Im haven’t added a comment in probably a year, but it seems like everyone has caught on to this girl. I wish I could like all of the other 1 and 2 star rating write ups that have been posted in the last months alone. They say everything I’ve written and noticed since 2021 when I first discovered this podcast. Have I still been listening? Yes, so it’s not all bad. I can take the bad with the good. But Mandy sure hasn’t matured, I don’t see why she chastises Becky for writing a book when she did f... more

  • Amazing

    I listen and listen again to every episode. They have always reported the truth each and every time. These women (Mandy, Liz, Beth and their other detectives) are bigger than the criminals realize. Yes- i have been petty about the ways words were spoken (I think it’s a Gen Z problem actually, so Big Sorry to Mandy). But the bigger issue is how these women were able to do what men were supposed to do for decades, maybe centuries but couldn’t. I have the greatest admiration for the True Sunlight... more

  • Deep Dive Into the TRUTH

    Great job on getting the facts and letting them be known to all of us! Mandy and Liz are bringing things to light and getting things right. Thank you for all of your hard work!

    ** UPDATE **

    I hate to say this bc I genuinely loved their honesty until the past year. They are cringe to hear and imo have become hypocritical and too feminist for me. It’s not easy to say bc I am such a fan of what you two (and more) to expose Alex Murdaugh, J.P. Miller and their minions to light.
