The Felon Who Raised Me: A Family Crimes Podcast

Jackie tells her true life story with guts, grief and grace! Her honest delivery, able to laugh and cry at herself and the very complicated details make this a thought provoking & genuine podcast that everyone’s story can appreciate!! I love each episode’s closing line and offer it back to Jackie and all her listeners “Take Care of yourself & remember families are complicated, give yourself grace, healthy boundaries and choose people who choose you ❤️”

I’m hooked on this podcast. Jackie is such a great storyteller and this pod has so many juicy details. Thanks for the tea!

I feel like this would’ve been a better audiobook instead of a podcast. It was too hard to follow with a week inbetween each very-short episode. You’re getting crumbs of information each week that would’ve been better all set out in one meal. If you are considering listening, I recommend waiting until it is complete and then listening to it all in one sitting.

The crimes Mark Gaver committed are inexcusable, but like so many people who end up on the wrong side of the criminal justice system, his mental health is the likely source of his problems. Rather than publicly scorn, deride and ridicule her father in a public forum, his daughter should be thinking about or finding ways to help him. This podcast is at once sad and selfish, apparently fulfilling an unexplained need of the author.
