  • What about that death certificate, though?

    This is a small spoiler, which is actually my complaint. In episode 2, we learn Father Ryan gives a death certificate to his ex claiming their son is dead, when in fact, he is very much alive and was sold to an adoptive couple?!? What?!? That is the worst thing the man is accused of in the whole show and it never is explored. I liked the show, but I want a part II, justice for Jonathan.

  • Outrageous

    This podcast is so good it almost makes The Binge subscription worth it. Alex Schuman is an excellent host who lets the crazy facts, and eventually the Fake Priest, talk for themselves. Entertaining and enraging.
