    Then There Was WWASP

    Then There Was WWASP

    In the late 1970s, a man named Robert Lichfield showed up on the doorsteps of Provo Canyon School, looking to get his start in the troubled teen industry. He would go on to create WWASP, or the Worldwide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools - the largest network of teen treatment programs in the history of the industry.

    INTRODUCING SEASON 2: Trapped In Treatment

    INTRODUCING SEASON 2: Trapped In Treatment

    Paris Hilton’s “Trapped in Treatment” is back for a second season with hosts Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger Grone as they investigate the Worldwide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASP) - the largest global network of programs in the history of the troubled teen industry.

    Our first season's story continues with a look into how one man — a man who got his start at Provo Canyon School — masterminded his own universe of programs replete with allegations of abuse, isolation, and trauma that spanned from the arid deserts of Utah to the humid beaches of Jamaica.

    With first-hand accounts from survivors and interviews with former employees and industry experts, “Trapped in Treatment” Season 2 explores the complex nature of the troubled teen industry and the lack of justice for those that have lived through it.

Ads ruin it

Really interesting topic and content but it’s almost unlistenable with the amount of ads

Great content, intrusive advert placement

This is a great podcast about a relatively unknown topic for me in the UK, but the advert placements are so strange it’s quite off-putting. There’s often no break between the podcast content and an advert, which is really jarring and quite confusing in some places - also the ads sometimes repeat within the same as break which is frustrating. It’s a shame as it doesn’t do this podcast any favours, or the ones they’re advertising!

MORE ADVERTS THAN ACTUAL CONTENT

The amount of adverts for such a short episode is a joke, basically unlistenable.
