Customer Reviews
Only on Episode 6
I feel compelled to tell a DOZEN friends I’ve met through writing, book clubs, “recovering Catholic groups” — this material is so relatable. Living in fear. When I met Joe a few years ago, the one liner that has stuck with me, and I use when victims of assault reach out to me, “I believe you”. We need more truth in our lives, without the fear of abuse, disbelief, ridicule or shame💔💯💔
Great Podcast!
A really well though it out and produced series. However, if I hear another commercial for “Hunting Warhead” I’m gonna scream 😂
Fascinating & well executed
I love the entire format of this show. I’m always on the edge of my seat & can’t wait to listen to the next episode. It’s incredibly well done. I don’t have to listen to a host babble on & on. Ben gets to the point & I get to hear basically a suspenseful audiobook. Well done Ben & team. Please keep this podcast going.
