Customer Reviews
So many ads
There’s a huge amount of ads in every episode and the bonus episodes so it’s hard to listen to.
For the bonus episodes, I would add them to the end of the season unless they are a part of the main family’s story. It’s been hard to follow season 2 for this reason, for me.
This should be titled:
UGH 😑 Okay, I’ll give you the fact that HE is a creepy bastard. Your phone interview with him made me feel sick. Obviously he hasn’t recognized what a deranged individual he is. He will be a repeat offender.
I believe that EVERY woman /girl, has been sexually abused in some way, shape or form. I have been sexually harassed at EVERY job I’ve had. Lawyers, bankers, business managers and so on. Men are very good at luring women in. Especially if they’re feeling a bit insecure. Girls should be made aware of this by their mothers. No doubt!!
One other thing, did one of the women who wrote you use the phrase: “sit with my feels”?? 🤢 If so, I have no words. Better luck next time trying to put out an intelligent podcast.
Informative, moving and well paced
This really worthwhile podcast tells the stories of different women and their families who discovered secrets about their spouses or fathers. It also has expert analysis and testimony by psychologist and those in law enforcement which made it very interesting. I had no idea this problem was epidemic and so it was deeply disturbing to learn about and how more needs to be done to root these perverts out and to lock them up.
