Good storytelling but when you make money for ads telling people what kind of abortion to select, I’m done. Plenty of other content from which to choose.
I’ve been a listener since the beginning, but I’m on the verge of unfollowing due to all the political commentary and sickening ads. What do these have to do with the subject of MPB? If I wanted to hear political discussions I would tune into one of those shows…BTW, our medical system is the best in the world. Tort reform would make it even better. Stop blabbering about the “messed up medical system”. (And no, I’m not in the medical field.)
Had to update my review from 5 stars to 1 and will be unfollowing.
Just because the focus of this show is MBP doesn’t mean that EVERYTHING is MBP. Children get hurt. Children are born with health issues that can cause brittle bones, excessive bruising, etc. To have episodes ripping down ‘The Preventionist’ is insane. Children can have health issues that aren’t due to their parents causing them harm. I’m shocked Andrea didn’t trash the parents who were the discussion of Breakdown szn 11. Just be... more
I listened to your re-release of the interview with Feldman on Lehigh Valley and I listened to Serial’s “The Preventionist.” Your doubling down and digging in are undermining your credibility. I absolutely agree that most of the cases you profile — and you do so in a compelling way — involve MCA/MBP. It’s also clear to me that there are zealot CAPs like Jensen out there that have wreaked havoc on families and communities in which they operate with little check on their power. The proof to me is ... more
