Finally, a true crime podcast that doesn’t feel exploitative. This one actually makes you stop and think. I really appreciate how much care goes into telling these stories the right way. It’s become one of my favorites.
Apple Podcasts5hopianneUnited Statesa month ago I cannot express how good this podcast is! The perspective of the Celisia is so needed in the genre of true crime. She dives deep to elucidate the nuances of the crime and its relationships to society at large. She tells important stories with an important perspective and creates a big impact. I've felt so much more when listening - sorrow, outrage, shame, and even comfort. I love this show and I'm so glad I've found it!
