  • Invisible Victims

    This podcast has opened my eyes and provided awareness to a class of victims rarely mentioned in mainstream media stories. They deserve to have their stories heard, their cases solved and to receive justice. They matter.

  • EXCELLENT!!

    Super realistic depiction of what the gay community was like in the 90’s and early 2000’s. There’s no question these guys committed more crimes than what we know. Glad you are looking into it!

  • Studio Both And has consistently solid programming

    This podcast is one of Josh Hallmarks best works. It’s well researched and presented with care, non sensational although the story it’s presenting could easily be drawn down a sensationalist path. If only all true crime podcasts approached the subject with such care and compassion.
