- Beautiful heart-wrenching story
I have binged this story in 24 hours and was sucked in immediately. Somehow I follow his Irish brogue…and it’s lovely & poetic. What a tragic childhood, but Joe has strength and drive for truth and goodness. I wish him a peaceful and happy life ahead. Well done to the creators of this podcast.

What an intensely talented narrator is Joey. So likeable and so smart and articulate. His story truly moved me. I can’t believe he’s even still alive but I’m glad he is and honoured to have been able to hear his account of what he endured throughout his youth.

I’m late to this story but what a brave young man Joey is, a real hero. Terrifying and sad to listen to, could be anyone’s son, very valuable lessons will be learned from this. I hope Joey realises his impact and I wish him well.
