  • Intriguing because it is so awful

    Allison After NXIVM is offensive because it reshapes the history of NXIVM into a redemption story that centers Allison Mack while pushing the victims to the margins. It softens all of the horrible things she did. It blurs accountability and sanitizes the gravity of the harm. Most troublingly, it presents prison as a “freeing” experience, reframing punishment itself as growth and effectively negating even the consequences of her actions.

  • Appalling

    Both the subject of this podcast and the presenter are ridiculous.

    The victims in this story have been traumatised twice, by Allison and the presenter.

    Shameful. You can’t possibly feel an ounce of empathy for Allison, her privileged upbringing, her career as an entitled actress. It’s gross.

    This is the worst CBC podcast

  • Painfully professional except..

    This is old world media in a way that’s impossible for me to consume as someone who doesn’t watch tv on broadcast television nor listen to terrestrial radio with commercials.

    The repetition of the narrator introducing things that were just said is painful. The audio engineering is inconsistent — the volumes dip and raise in inconsiderate ways.

    The POV is deeply troubled. But that’s been covered in depth elsewhere. Allison is too charismatic and cheerful in the darkest moments.
