Customer Reviews
I have a lot of catching up to do!
I just found out about this podcast today, and listened to season one episode one and two back to back. Amazing work! I love so many things about this podcast. The pacing, the editing, and the host is wonderful with interviews and narration. I’m looking forward to all the catching up. I have to do.
Stellar
Two episodes in and this podcast is at the top of my queue. Both episodes explore the complexity of criminal acts and what follows. Both reveal the humanity inherent in all--even perpetrators of heinous crimes. Julie is a masterful interviewer- we either feel as though we're in the room with her or forget she's there as she sits back and lets her guests tell their stories. At the end of both episodes, my mind was more open, my heart softer. I'm happy that there are people thoughtfully guiding us through our own questions about the area in-between. PS Someone needs to find George B so he can edit his spot-on review. Spot-on but for the the fact that "Excellent" is 5 stars, not one. George! Where are you? Come back and fix this!!! :D
Important perspectives
Great podcast if you want to hear different perspectives about our prison system including some uplifting stories of personal transformation.
