Tried coming back to this podcast after a hiatus. Same virtue signaling and massive agenda driven stories. This is not unbiased or even decent journalism. Not helpful for survivors of any kind. Early seasons were so much better. Just mean girl bully energy. Miss the olden days of SWW.
I’ve listened to this since the early days and it used to be really good. Lately it seemed to have taken a day hill. Especially last season I’ve never heard get so gossipy and mean girl she’s supposed to be a reporter that doesn’t seem like it to me. I’m sad to go but this show just seems to be getting off the tracks as the seasons progress. Maybe I’ll be pop in later and check but I doubt it’ll improve
This used to be a “can’t wait to hear the next episode” podcast, but the last few seasons hardly keep your attention. The long solo intros add nothing to the story, the 5-6 minute long ads are annoying, and there’s no real intensity or suspense like there used to be.
Theres nothing to build the stories up to. They fill the episodes with recordings, friends POVs, etc. but nothing that adds any real value.
Long time listener but I’ll be unsubscribing.
I love this podcast and have been a constant listener since season 1. I see a lot of poor reviews that don’t like the facts and statistics that precede stories, but I think they give key context and I really appreciate them setting the stage for the issue discussed in the podcast. Without that context, it can be easy to dismiss an experience as trivial. This is an important podcast for helping survivors and victims feel heard and gives them an avenue to heal, all while educating the public. Prou... more
Longtime listener. It used to be a favorite podcast and has steadily become something I listen to as a last resort. Since season 17, it’s taken a major decline. Tiffany laughing with twenty-somethings about Allison’s mental health is disturbing. I’m out.

This docuseries centers on survivor experiences, trauma, and the paths toward healing, often through multi-episode, investigative storytelling that blends personal testimony with expert context. Recent seasons emphasize nuanced explorations of betrayal, abuse within religious communities, and systemic responses from institutions, while maintaining a knack for methodical, evidence-driven storytelling. Noteworthy is a trend toward richer survivor voices and accountability-focused journalism, balanced with expert analysis and resources for listeners. Potential listeners who value rigorous storytelling, empathy for survivors, and context on how institutions handle abuse will likely find it compelling, with clear takeaways for advocates, student... more
