Seven years ago, journalist Justine van der Leun received a letter that would change her life. The sender was a woman named Kwaneta Harris, who was incarcerated at a prison in Texas. Kwaneta had an incredible story—one that, over time, she began to tell Justine. Justine wanted to know more, and began to report deeply. Kwaneta’s story turned out to be more complicated, tangled, and murky than Jus... more

  • What She Buried

    Bomb…. Much like many other reviews here, I was very underwhelmed and disappointed by this latest podcast. The narrator, while explaining all of the horrible things that this woman clearly did, kept trying to look for excuses but never had any for why this woman ended up where she did. I think the narrator is probably far Left / woke and was impressed that Kwanetta has made something of her life as a journalist while incarcerated all these years. The fact that she's a woman and Black likely seal... more

  • Wait… what?

    I’ve loved most of The Binge stories prior to listening to What She Buried. I’m absolutely dumbfounded that this was ever released. It’s the story of a woman who killed a man, unprovoked. End of story.

    But, it isn’t. Instead we hear hours of fluff that ultimately goes nowhere. It’s the meanderings of a journalist who had to make a story where none existed. Don’t waste your time.
