WOWSAAAAA

this is so good. Madison is an icon & she’s definitely not right next to me as I write this review . I 🫶 this podcast though

Decent story, too many words

Basically, a lot of white girl overdramatising of an otherwise interesting brown girl story. This could have been cut down by two thirds and been much better as a story. I wish the author well.

Great listen!

I recently found your podcast and binged it. I also got 3 more people invested. I live in Ohio and never heard of this case. I am so sorry you have experienced a loss such as this. You are doing an excellent job with the podcast to solve it and I look forward to more episodes soon!
