Customer Reviews
Guaranteed reaction; be forewarned.
I appreciate the exhaustive research and laying out numerous accounts of horrific behavior from people who deem others as disposable. I can’t help but feel really angry after listening, as the tone of so many interviewed comes off as detached. Self-soothing, or self-preserving, perhaps. Still, kudos on the reporting!
Details of routine are interesting
The victims were also seduced by the lifestyle of very rich. Private chef, flights, drivers, famous guests. But the memories of how they were trafficked must be very painful.
A bit too judgmental
Overall I really like this podcast. The only thing that I really don’t understand is why the reporter thinks she has the right to be so judgmental against the enablers. Not that I’m excusing their actions, not at all. But a good reporter/journalist should be leading and let the listeners make their own opinions. Everyone has their reasons for not coming forward, such as fear of prosecution, fear of reputation, etc. Again, I’m not approving of that and I think the all the survivors should get all the support to make their case. I just don’t like the narrative of the journalist.
