Just heard your most recent episode and didn’t realize you are a Jayhawk. I am also a graduate of the J School. Did you take 1st Amendemnt from
Ted Fred? He’d be very proud of your pursuit for Justice through journalism.
The podcast used to be really good, but now it’s just repeating the same recommendation over and over again with no real changes and I know that research takes time and money and it’s not all fast and quick like we would like it to be, but it doesn’t change it back they could be talking about more things and they just aren’t. I also don’t like the fact that they only talk about white women, as a woman of color it’s really upsetting that they’ve never covered a case with a female color. Also, the body modification ads are very distressing and upsetting, not everybody wants to hear things like that and it’s really a bad message that you are pushing to listeners, you talk a lot about misogyny, and men controlling the narrative, and then you’re gonna push ads that talk about body modification that’s really disturbing to me as a listener. Leslie get real mental health specialist to talk about coercion, and bipolar, depression, specifically, because just having a mental illness does not make you an authority on all mental illnesses. And it’s really upsetting to hear. Misinformation episode after episode when you could be doing better. I apologize for any spelling, or grammatical problems with this message, I use assistive technology, and it’s not always accurate.
Went from great Murdoch murder podcast to ad nauseum ads and plugs about Mandy’s horrible book and stupid “appearances”….as if she is a “personality”…..pure ego driven drivel.
So sad, shoukd just called it a wrap or hired soneone yo help transition,
She is becoming more of a man hater each episode. In the news two she blasts Fits Bews but neglects yo mention that it was her partners articles that caused the Fits lawsuits….so if I were you Nsndy, you partnered with that sane person whose quality you now vouch for. Your 15 min are near over.
Y’all are going to dismiss this review, I’m certain that you are trying to do the right thing with this case.
It’s commendable.
Mica had mental health issues, JP played on that.
Mica had an affair with a married man whose children she babysat. She shouldn’t have done that.
She knew the type of guy JP was but thought she could change him. Like so many women do.
I believe she had a mental breakdown when he did it to her, and she realized she was out as his #1.
JP is disgusting the folks that let him do this stuff are disgusting but Micas family is at fault too.
The last few episodes have me scratching my head finding it impossible to finish without mentally tuning out or turning off. This pod was so well done in the past but lately the misandry is a trigger for me. Men are victims too. And I’ve known a few in my 60 years on this earth. I’m also questioning their ability to understand bipolar tendencies; simply making a rash and often terrible decision with dire consequences.
Thanks you for educating the public on coercive control.
I feel I can trust the facts that are being presented on True Sunlight. They are researched and corroborated. The discussion clarifies their meaning and importance. Mandi and Liz do have their opinions about what’s happening, and that’s fine with me. This is a podcast, not the evening news. Their story IS part of the story here. I’m glad they are moving on to some new cases, but I do still want to see the Murdaugh story to its conclusion, including the others who participated in his schemes. Since listening to this podcast, I’ve become much more discerning about the others I’ll listen to.
Used to be good. Too personal now. Edited to add: you’re still rehashing facts from the murder case for the 100th time?
They are geniuses only in their own minds
Love this podcast ☺️ Incredibly well done and comprehensive.

First, I want to be clear that I usually thoroughly enjoy this podcast. However, the coverage of Mica Francis makes me feel as if mental illness isn’t thoroughly understood or researched by the hosts, which, to be fair, isn’t uncommon. As someone who is bipolar, I can 100% understand how Mica may have just snapped, and that something pushed her over that final decision-making-cliff, even if Mica herself wasn’t bipolar. While I understand that such a concept can be difficult to comprehend, there is a LOT of research to back up this type of behavior prior to someone ending their lives through suicide, which leads me to my problem with this podcast: just because it’s a hard concept to grasp doesn’t mean it’s not what happened, and I feel like this possibility is being ignored by the hosts, which is extremely disappointing when the rest of their reporting seems to be so in depth and carefully researched. Or worse, they are choosing to ignore it because suicide isn’t as dramatic as the other theories. Either way, the lack of accepting that suicide, that Mica may have just snapped & the suicide wasn’t a premeditated action, is a legitimate possibility for Mica’s death feels disingenuous and incongruent with the typical caliber and unbiased reporting that made me a fan of their reporting to begin with. As someone who also comes from a writing/communications background, it’s disappointing to feel like I found a podcast that utilized traditional journalism with unbiased reporting that has begun slipping into unfounded speculation, especially when doing more research into pre-suicidal actions would provide the possibility of answers to some of the most basic questions surrounding Mica’s actions the day that she died.
