This is by far the most perfect podcast I’ve ever listened to (and I listen to a lot!) I love how Melissa and Ed dive so deep into the victims lives and tell the whole truth. It feels like they speak for the voiceless. They are so respectful to the victims and it feels like I’m in the room with them and we’re talking like friends would. Highly recommend!!
