- Heartbreaking
Thank you for telling the true stories of the Pitcairn abuses of children, especially young girls.

United Statesa month ago - Harrowing story but terribly produced
A deeply moving and troubling story. However, the produces do it few favours with productions. It’s highly repetitive, uses identical audio in several episode to no real deepens of understanding. Simply draws it out.

It is highly important that such truths as this are documented & told because we should never, ever forget that small unchecked communities can be the most dangerous places on our planet.
Apple Podcasts5OofiOofsterUnited Statesa month ago - Top Notch
I love everything about this podcast. It’s haunting to think about the generations of abuse continuing on Pitcairn, from father to son, dating all the way back to its settlement. The storytelling is incredible, the little sound effects are effective without being overbearing, and the research that went into it is comprehensive. Highly recommended.
