  • A change of pace in the true crime world

    This podcast took a different tone compared to most true crime podcasts. I appreciate the vulnerability of the interviewees. Also still spreading awareness of domestic violence. Good listen. A story you should hear.

  • Excellent story and important

    Very sad and a tale of caution. I appreciated the police perspective. Although it’d never easy because when kids are involved the victim is forced to maintain contact with their abuser as the state insists that kids see their fathers. Sometimes these guys are terrible role models, especially for boys. The message-‘leave early, leave fast. These guys don’t change

  • Why the constant overbearing soundtrack?

    Would have been a decent investigative podcast, but what’s with the constant soundtrack? It is distracting and annoying. Superfluous.
