Customer Reviews
Shame on dad!
The father should be very ashamed of himself. He was the one to throw the wrench into the lives of his children. Also to cause his son to feel so insecure and inadequate.Life seemed pretty happy for the entire family before he stepped in to make them feel inadequate and push his son towards radicalization.
I am also having to question the show host. It seems as though he is somewhat humanizing acts of terrorism, as if the terrorist is a star. Also seems to me like some of what the interviewer is doing would be considered illegal...... or at a minimum anti-American security
Wow
Powerful, gripping podcast.
5 stars
