WHEN DATING HURTS

A "must-listen-to" podcast on dating abuse and domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence. . Hosted by Bill Mitchell, author of the memoir, WHEN DATING HURTS (Amazon), this book is about the murder of his daughter by her ex-boyfriend. Bill and his wife, Michele, lost Kristin to dating violence. She was brutally murdered in June 2005, just 20 days after her college graduation. FACT: 1 in 3 WOMEN suffer serious physical violence at the hands of intimate partners during their lifetimes. Typically, it happens between the ages of 16-24. But can happen at any age. It doesn't need to happen. Bill interviews experts with key experiences in dating and domestic violence: • Actual survivors of intimate partner violence (dating abuse and domestic violence) • "DV" agency counselors • Law enforcement professionals • Parents of children who were either lost to, or somehow survived, dating violence After listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, be sure to share it with those who need to hear it... Remember the 1 in 3 women statistic. It is real. The WHEN DATING HURTS memoir (paperback, eBook, audiobook) is only available on Amazon.

Thank you Bill and all your guests for shedding light into this very ugly scene! I have been listening and sharing your website with anyone and everyone because we all need to know the warning signs.
Share with someone whose child is dating!!!

This podcast, written by a me (father who lost his daughter to dating violence), is highly informative and probably lifesaving. My book which is entitled WHEN DATING HURTS (like this podcast), is a primer on what can happen to any of our children. The podcast has guests who unselfishly tell their survivor stories in great detail. Five stars. I truly hope you agree.
Educational!

This website interview survivors most of the time. It is very well done.
Spreading awareness 1 story at a time!

Bill channels his loss into something to help spread awareness about intimate partner abuse. It's important to talk about these things openly. It's really amazing to know how many others have the same experiences but are too embarrassed to tell family/friends. I'm pretty sure this podcast will save lives.
Mission driven

Bill, thank you for the platform you provide for survivors, thrivers, and the folks who have a hand in navigating these situations, from counselors to detectives. It’s always heartening to me when someone has the strength to take the worst moment in their life and tsurn it into something powerful that affects change for the better. I am certain your daughter, who was taken way too soon, is beaming with pride and is there with you every step. Your voice, and the voices of those you share, give me so much hope.
Great content, terrible audio

I want to listen to more of these episodes but Bill’s voice is so loud and the guests are barely audible. Also, Bill, I feel it would be beneficial if you would not add your “ right, yes, ok,” and extra comments. It makes the listener lose the track of the speaker. I want you to succeed so please work on the audio discrepancies.
Turn up your VOLUME please

Ugh
Such an Important Topic but the Host is Just…
09/03/2024
I listen to a lot of podcasts on a variety of topics and some very similar to this (IPV, survival stories, major life events that impact people, etc) and…this host, Bill, is just 🤯 he often interrupts, makes random comments that aren’t very astute, rarely asks thoughtful follow up questions- primarily asks obvious questions or things that honestly sound like he wasn’t listening well- and comes across as a semi- out of touch older guy who isn’t “hip” to all the things happening in young people’s lives. I will also say he sounds like a very kind, compassionate, and dedicated person who lost his daughter to IPV and I have a ton of empathy and compassion for him in that regard. It seems like most of his guests see that in him and he must make them feel very comfortable and respected in order for them to open up the way that they do. So he has a lot of strengths! And I respect his commitment to this cause very much. But unfortunately, a committed and loving, well meaning person does not necessarily make a great podcast host. I say this with kindness and genuine constructive criticism- I hope that Bill hires a podcast coach (I’m sure they exist nowadays!) and can get better at some of these skills because this topic is so important and relevant. Until then, you’ve been properly warned/prepped for his “style” of interviewing 🫠
Nope
