  • Best Podcast/Documentary Series you will ever listen to

    Something was Wrong has been my favorite podcast since 2019. Tiffany is such an excellent host and I am so grateful to her and the survivors who have shared their stories. Tiffany and Broken Cycle Media are so conscientious and caring of survivor stories. Not only do they respect those who are telling the story, but they provide more information around the issues. For example in season 24, Tiffany spends time walking through what is happening/happened in the “troubled teen industry”. She does in... more

    This is my favorite podcast. I only found it recently and listened Season 1 all the way through. The storytelling is captivating and encompasses so many forms of trauma. It has helped me put words to experiences I’ve had. Additionally, Tiffany’s voice is easy to listen to which is so important in a podcaster. I give my full support to the show & team

  • Badly needs an editor

    There is no reason why giant swathes of unedited interview material should be included, with no comment from the host, other than laziness and a lack of editorial rigor. I tried listening to season 20 but gave up after two episodes because it felt like we were just going in circles. It’s a shame because there is an interesting story buried in all the unnecessary detail.
