This whole series from The Abercrombie Guys to Soldier Dads is excellent. Relevant, informative commentary. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and believe the reporting as well done. The only reason I've given it a four is because it feels like every season leaves you hanging without any type of resolve to the story being covered. While I understand, there is no resolution. It is challenging for nearly every season and that one.
Each season grabs your attention even more. This podcast brings to light events in people’s lives that are not always reported on the news. It is well thought out and reported on. 10/10 recommendation.
I liked Searching for Soldier Dad, it’s very good, the journalist isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, even to the military. She also has humility for the children and the dads, which I appreciate.
A glimpse into a terrifying world of pedophiles and their modus operandi and the amazing driven people who track them down and bring them to justice. A must listen - even if it makes you uncomfortable.
