  • Not focused enough on people losing their homes after listen to this Romana

    Cult is portrayed as sort of a joke. The people of Richmound are portrayed in as crazy. Viceification of the CBC.

  • Platforming a sex trafficking con woman

    I’ve heard a lot about this story and did not expect to listen to such a sympathetic view of someone that contributed to and also engineered enormous harm. Allowing a person as harmful as Allison Mack try to restore her character and give her ‘side’ as an abuser - it’s diabolical. Skipping over the trauma and harm caused to so many women that were exposed to her. Do better.
