    I REALLY want to listen to this because the storyline is great but… the way her voice trails at the end of every. single. word. makes me want to scream.

  • Great podcast

    Enjoyed the episodes and I’m so glad this story has been brought to light!! As someone that grew up in Rutherford County, we all knew someone that went to “Juvie” and everyone knew it took very little to get there and that it was simply jail. I’m so proud of those that stood up for these children and disappointed in others that didn’t. more

  • The vocal fry is absurd and unlistenable

    Seems like an interesting story but the narrator has absurd vocal fry ruining the show. It’s an audio only medium, why would you not have a narrator who’s pleasant to listen to?

    It is honestly so peculiar to me that this woman has not been charged, got off scotch free because it became public knowledge to the country.
