Customer Reviews
Outstanding and Poignant
Excellent reporting and narration! This is what a true crime exposé podcast should be like. It is so well-researched and presented. I binged and finished the first season in one day! Thank you for a truly amazing podcast!
Failure to mention
There is a failure to mention that the Catholic Church, courts and police had financial agreements that led to massive cover ups of abuse in Australia.
Well-produced, compelling, binge worthy
