Season 2 - Confronting: Columbine The events of April 20th, 1999 shaped our nation and altered the American narrative. One of America’s deadliest school shootings took place in a small town in Colorado, leaving thirteen dead and another twenty-one severely injured. And it was all broadcast over national tv for the nation to see. The second season of Confronting takes on one of the most prolific tragedies in American history: the Columbine High School massacre. It was a devastating example of how easily a place of learning, familiarity and peace can descend into a war zone of chaos in a moment, the teenagers present that day are now adults who bear the mental and physical scars of the carnage they lived through. Amy Over, a Columbine survivor who is still living with its aftermath and raising her own children in its shadow, confronts many of the realities, questions and myths that surround the massacre to this day. Amy, through her own experience and by speaking with survivors, investigators, classmates, reporters on the scene and other important voices, brings a first-person account of the physical, emotional and spiritual journey that comes along with confronting the worst day of her life. Season 1 - Confronting: O.J. Simpson 25 years after the crimes that ignited the "Trial of the Century" Kim Goldman, sister of murder victim Ron Goldman, is digging deep into the vicious crime that changed her life, and many others, forever. Thrust into the public eye at the age of 22, Kim was devastated when OJ Simpson was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her brother Ron. There has been much debate and confusion about what really happened the night of those brutal murders and for the first time Kim gets answers to questions that have been haunting her since the trial. She sits down with prosecutors, investigators, and witnesses who never got to speak and jurors who voted not guilty. In this 10-part series, Kim takes you on a journey as she reclaims and reflects on the part of her life that was changed permanently.

Great Season

The Columbine school shooting shook my world when it happened. I was in 8th grade in a small town in Wisconsin and never thought something like that was even possible. This event is what made me become more aware of my surroundings at all times. Even at the age of 13. My heart goes out to all of the victims in Littletown.
Great podcast!

The Goldman family is amazing. They have handled themselves in such a classy way since OJ slaughtered Ron and Nicole. This podcast is another perfect example them reminding people who Ron was.
Call it “Confronting Whether or Not Amy Was on a List”
Jun 21
While the interviewed parties stories are harrowing, interesting, and necessary, Amy’s incessant search to see if she was on a hit list is absolutely grating. There is so much information the public could have, and should have, learned from this show. But the absolute narcissistic search for personal validation by Amy is almost unlistenable. The need for information for personal healing is important and I support that, but that should not have been what this podcast was about. How editors and the co-host could listen to these episodes and think “yeah, this is good content” is beyond me. This podcast “confronted” nothing. It says it will, and some of the interviews talk about their own personal confronting of issues later down the road, the show misses the mark on that front. Amy would have been best served as an interview of this podcast, not the host. I’m sorry for what happened to her, but this is not her lane.
Couldn’t Finish It

I was really excited about this pod until I started listening. Poor production: The audio quality is so spotty and the interview questions being injected into conversations makes the whole thing sound off. When it comes to sound effects and music, less is more. You use the dramatic woosh sound so many times it loses meaning. The ads are completely jarring - one simple call for donations per ep would have been much more appropriate for something like this instead of Ryan Reynolds pitching a cell phone plan.. Poor editing: Why on Earth are Amy and Zack STILL talking about being on a supposed “hit list” when in the previous episode with Dave Cullen, he completely shuts down that whole narrative. We know what their plan was and it wasn’t to hunt down basketball players, they wanted to kill as many people as possible. Sorry the FBI got in your head, but come on, I’ve seen dozens of scribbled out yearbook photos over the years. This podcast would have really benefited from a well scripted narrative interlaced with interviews instead of Amy just rambling on and on - sometimes repeating herself - like when she’s memorializing the victims and says “always had a smile on” about three students.
