Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
Well done to Deon and his team!
Riveting
My neighbor here in Texas recommended we listen to the riveting podcast. Deon’s superb painting with words, the way the investigation is woven into the culture of those elite boys schools is genius. I am terrified to say this but I am almost waiting for Drakensberg Boys Choir school to appear. But I so hope not. Deons bravery in exposing these heinous acts of abuse is astonishing. Even this is a very hard podcast to listen to, the content is so well presented and “logged”. My heart goes out to all those who have had their lives ruined by their abusers. Well done Deon
Must listen
I hesitate to say this is magical because of the content but it is.
This podcast is a work of art. The narrative is compelling. I’m in upstate NY in US so I love the accents. I love the descriptions of the landscape. At the same time my heart aches for the victims involved.
This is currently my favorite podcast and is a must listen.
Thank you Deon Wigget for your bravery and sharing your gift of storytelling. And thank you JD Wolner for the interview that led me to this oh so very well done podcast.
