Such a well-researched, thought-provoking story. It’s a shame so many people have given poor ratings due to the fact that there are so many ads (and good lord, there are more ads on this podcast than ANY other that I can think of), because Melissa Jeltsen is an incredible host.
Am I hearing commercials when I am a subscriber? Bye!
Incredible, well done podcast. Not only did it bring attention to this tragic death but also police sexual violence. This issue needs to come out of the shadows.
I paid the subscription for iHeart Podcasts and every 10 minutes of podcast are interrupted by several minutes (2-3!!!!) of ads! Are you people ok?! What is the subscription for then?! It's very scammy and i cancelled and will not be listening to this or other iheart podcasts again. Very sad for the producers and journalists, who made the show happen, hopefully they can find a different hosting platform for their work.
Good podcast, too many ads
