Heart-wrenching, thought-provoking and poignant

I hate that this podcast even needed to be made at all, but it was so thought-provoking and well done. Hearing the real story of what happened in 2013, and hearing from different perspectives was riveting. Grateful for Deborah, Doug and all of the others who continue to pursue the truth and fight to let it be heard!

What a great podcast!

This is a fascinating story told, in part, from the perspective of a mother who lost her son in Yarnell Hill Fire. It’s a deep dive into a tragedy that rocked a small community and captured the national headlines. Deborah achieves at once, a demonstration of her emotional vulnerability and a detachment that allows her to ask probing questions of what went wrong in her son’s death. I would highly recommend this podcast!
