Customer Reviews
Mother????
Love NHPR! Love Bear Brook! In attempts to stay away from judgement, I still find myself saying, “what the freak?” Far too many poor choices to overlook. As a mother, I feel for her. As a human, I feel contempt for her.
Masterful Storytelling
The music, the story, the twist and turns, he’s so good at telling stories
Interesting
This podcast is super interesting. It is hard to believe Jason’s mom’s role in this whole thing. She is a police officer and should know better. I mean she certainly can’t claim ignorance. What the heck.
