I really enjoyed the earlier seasons, which focused on storytelling. Lately, though, there seem to be more episodes/seasons centered around ongoing conversations, interviews, and counselor discussions, and I find those much less engaging. Several of my friends feel the same way.
I would love to see the podcast return to its original storytelling format. Those stories are what made it so compelling and engaging in the first place. Please consider bringing those back and reducing the number of in... more
Tiffany is an excellent journalist and I really appreciate that she wants to provide context, education and resources that relate to the stories she carefully researches and presents to us. However, seasons 25 and 26 have made the education component such a massive part of the show that the show has fundamentally changed from earlier seasons. In earlier seasons, the storytelling and survivor was the focus and Tiffany’s ability to let the survivor speak uninterrupted was what drew me in and made ... more
I used to be so seated for every episode, but the last couple seasons have been hard to listen to, and what’s with all the interviews of specialists, or doctors, being counted as episodes? By the time you bring back the actual story Iv completely forgotten what we were even talking about. I don’t even know how to say what’s changed , but I’m just not on the edge of my seat anymore… I will probably still listen tho, I loved this podcast and I know you put so much work into it .
I am having trouble understanding what this first story has to do with friendship betrayal, as the speaker did not seem to actually be friends with her stalker and his wife. Now the second story seems like it’s going to be about stalking rather than friendship as well. It’s disappointing that the host struggles so hard to showcase stories that the audience wants to hear.
Many of the reviews state that they miss the style of the old episodes, as do I.
I love this show, the varying topics and issues exposed, and fist hand stories from victims. Tiffany is a fantastic interviewer and the team does a great job with editing. I’ve noticed a change in the tone, pace, and inflection while she’s speaking which makes me miss older seasons. Prior interviews and educating the audience felt conversational. But now the pace is so slow and annunciated, it feels gently condescending. Overemphasized. The kind of voice note you’d play at 1.5x

This show centers survivor voices and focuses on the real-world impact of abuse, campus Title IX processes, and broader systemic accountability.
