Not many podcasts grab your attention the way this first season does. You get an inside look at a lady and her life unraveling like fishing line in the water. A MUST LISTEN

I’m listening to this for a second time. It’s compelling and disturbing in the extreme. I actually felt a great deal of empathy and sympathy for Mark, the husband. Jennaire is controlling, difficult, paranoid, and unlikeable. For two years, I was involved with a man who had borderline...Read full review »

Season 1 I devour true crime podcasts. Serialized ones are my favorite. I have never heard anything like this. Ever. I heard the story before on 20/20. It didn’t/couldn’t report the story with justice. It’s so complicated, so real. Thank you, for reporting on a horrible real event with a well...Read full review »

Great podcast but the same air bnb ad plays 3 times in a row?!? The same exact ad? It’s driving me insane.
hanbeeeee via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/02/24
Not sure why half of it seems to be another podcast and I have to fast forward through to get to the next episode. Not a good idea to merge podcasts I am not interested in that other podcast if I was I would download it.

I’ve made it to episode three and what the heck is with the extra hour of some odd financial podcast at the end of each episode?
Bartemus Mulligan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/11/23
I listen to all kinds of true crime podcasts. This one has got to be one of my very favorites. I have been recommending this one to people. Your professionalism is amazing, your reporting is amazing… the story is truly heart breaking from beginning to end and you treated it all so delicately. You...Read full review »

There’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said. The reporting, storytelling, and overall quality of this podcast is among the best I’ve ever heard. Riveting and deeply sad, but so well done, it just carries you through. Bravo!
lolaindigo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/23
The episodes had weird cuts in the audio and contained like 30 minutes worth of old audio at the end of most episodes.
Katiegiel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
Not only are the stories excellent but the storytelling is superb. I hardly recommend either season as they are both excellent. I started with season two first, and found it to be easier to listen to this he said one. However, I was still focused on season one, despite the fact that it was...Read full review »

Both seasons are great. Wonderful storytelling with a calm voice. Hope to hear more. Please don’t stay away for as long as last time.
Eatyourokra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/23
Such a good podcast with the wrong title. You share these stories in a captivating way. I feel I am in the room sharing tears with Jannair! Bless her soul. Season 2 was well written, but season 1 was unlike any other story I have ever listened to. You allow the story to be told instead of...Read full review »

Thorough reporting and thoughtful storytelling. The host is concise, engaging, interesting, well paced. Both seasons highlight complicated human experiences with great care and responsibility. There’s a lot that can go wrong when covering true crime (lack of reverence, narcissistic hosts,...Read full review »
Bgisurja via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/23
Both Seasons are emotionally brutal rollercoasters. Both Seasons provide first person recordings or writings that document the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the parties involved. We know that the narrative will end in a murder or murder/suicide, yet I still listened to find out why. I...Read full review »
Okay Listener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/23
Good coverage and detail. Only 4 stars because the same content read from Jill’s emails was repeated in full each time
eag1118 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/23
Such a sad tale. I thought I would blame the husband but no….very difficult circumstances all round. RIP to the victims ❤️
mrs single via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/07/23
I love all the audio, records, and detail. One of my favorite podcasts I’ve listened to by far!
Natalie Gower via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
I have not listened to the 1st season, but I am loving the 2nd. It’s an easy listen, makes you wonder, and keeps you guessing. I’m not going to dissect the journalism, the ‘wrong’ stance on how to tell this story, or slightly entertain the notion that both Barbara and her writers were out to get...Read full review »

Interesting case but an unbearable number of ads.
Ahimsa2013 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/23
I’m only on episode 3 and can feel the compassion fatigue of her sister. She desperately needed HELP! It’s very hard to find help and have a semi balanced life when you’re a ft caregiver. I can’t help but think if she had help and could have set boundaries without being gaslit and could of had...Read full review »
Cepasqua via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/23
Worth the listen. Incredibly produced and although tragic, very good deep dive into a common yet painful and controversial topic. Thank you for putting it out there.
Teon77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/23
A great example of why people flocked to podcasts - to get away from this kind of crafted, drawn out radio play. Little content delivered over a stretched series to maximise advertising. Lots of extraneous speculation by “experts”, snippets of interviews dropped in here and there for effect....Read full review »

They say how good the poor dead sister is, she was great, an amazing person, beautiful soul… I’m not denying any of that is true, why didn’t they help? Why didn’t they take her in or help with money so the other sister could hire help at home. The parents left all responsibility to the sister,...Read full review »
CricketKiller1992 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/23
I was shocked at the way this story was painted with Jennair as the victim. I had empathy for her pain to a point but not enough to justify her behavior the way this podcast has. If Jennair was a man and doing all of these things to a women we’d be looking at this like a horror story . I was...Read full review »

Biased puff piece from one white woman in favor of another. If the host could get past referring to Jill as smart, brilliant or some other superlative, the host could possibly tell the story. Go watch grass grow instead of listening to this.
2020BHC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/23
We’ll done, interesting story. I couldn’t get over how the husband played both women, and what a mess he created in the end with both women melting down over him. C’mon, he’s just a human being, not worth destroying lives over.
Home Shine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
Just finished season one, and it was a wild ride. But, doctor what-ever-her-name-is, added less than nothing to the narration. She is a misandrist (hates men), everything she said started with “and then mark did” or “and then mark said”. But all of the awful stuff that Jennair was doing? She...Read full review »
Nels4790 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
I found myself questioning the reason for this podcast, and the intentions of the hosts and writers. The same way I questioned the husband Mark. What was the motivation for the podcast? And what was the motivation for Mark to write the book? One would argue both were for money and attention. I...Read full review »

It’s a disturbing story. The podcast unfolds in a unique way - blending true crime with the human relationships, motivations, fears, psychology, really great story telling.
Greetings from Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/19/23
Every effort was clearly made to ensure you care as little as possible about the sisters and the so-called story. If you’re a dog lover, this podcast could potentially make you ambivalent about even dogs. That’s how hypnotic this story is. If gray was a sound, this would be it. Imagine endless...Read full review »
Bellamammal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/23
“You either give energy or take it” ? So offensive that a persons worth should depend on how lucky and untouched by suffering they have been. Meredith wronged jenair. Meredith took from jenair. If meredith and mark treated people better than this tragedy would not have happened.
The Lizzy Bear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/23
Listening to the bonus episode with Ramani and Mark was difficult. He doesn’t get to be the expert and remove himself from a tragedy that he caused. He not interested in helping others, this is further attention seeking. He is now using this tragedy to advise other woman while...Read full review »
Renouy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/18/23
Overall enjoyed the thorough and thoughtful treatment of season 1 case; especially the inclusion of the psychologist, Season 2 is intriguing so far; but I hope we get a deeper understanding of the psychological factors at play given such stark contrast between the known lives and personalities of...Read full review »

Where’s the third series????
Audball67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/23
I really really love this series. I was listening to it all day today and I was really sad to find out there was not a third episode……. I really hope they plan to publish that… seeing how episode two ended with a following episode that is not on here……….
hcheyanne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/23
Season 1 was so heartbreaking and such a tragic story, but it was told so well.
Sure hen soo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/12/23
This podcasts shines light on the dark story of Jennair Gerardot, allowing the listener a far deeper, more nuanced view of what happened, and why. The headlines can only convey so much information. Even an article in a newspaper or magazine can only realistically provide a two-dimensional...Read full review »
Rebecculous via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/23
The lesson to be learned from this incredibly told human tragedy is that in reality people are not winning or losing so much as surviving while trying to “get it right” based on what their past taught them and how they feel about their own lives through the lens of their collective cultural...Read full review »
Hagstoz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/23
This is a wild piece of reporting. I really like Barbara Schroeder’s narration. I do feel that sharing these recordings of Jennair is unethical because she was obviously so unwell. It’s also disturbing to me how many of these reviews fail to recognize that she manipulated and controlled her...Read full review »

How is it that we can’t see that this is classic personality disorder, in action? I feel for this guy, having been there before. There is serious mental illness, obviously displayed, from day one. I feel for this guy. He is trying to make her happy and, unfortunately, doesn’t have the courage to...Read full review »
Nope, terrible! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/23
I really enjoyed this podcast. I’ve listened to this guy on others before, but never heard from Gennair. It really puts things in a different perspective. He definitely strung her along and drove her deeper into dispair. Maybe the outcome would have been different if he was honest.
DeeMean212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/23
I am so grateful for the details and depth you offer in contrast to 20/20’s version, which must have had some strict parameters per Mark Gerardot’s agreement to be interviewed. Through your podcast we learn about, among other things: Mark’s previous betrayals (that’s plural) of Jennair re: other...Read full review »
Mermaid0340 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/23
Great podcast. This is real life and the covert audio recordings, as well as Jennair’s self audio really gives it the edge on compelling listening. It’s shocking, sad, frightening, full of despair and then unbelievable loss of life. Mark, in my opinion, fails to fully understand his role in...Read full review »
KTBBH via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/02/23
Well done pod but I really, really hate Mark. He literally drove his wife crazy with his lies, gaslighting and mental abuse. He’s an awful person and yes he’s a narcissist. He’s nothing without his victim status.
Kjindigo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/23
had dreams all night about this, incredible story. I am sorry this happened.
Breeb714 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
Thanks to TikTok, women like Jennair are making their “Selfie Videos” public. Now how to get this podcast to man who really needs to hear this….. Mark- I didn’t like you throughout the podcast, but you redeemed yourself in the interview. You’ve done a good thing by making the tapes public. I...Read full review »
fauxdeux via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
I felt bad for Jennair in the beginning but totally changed my feelings in the end. Despite the cheating, I felt awful for Mark. Great podcast.
Macbreidi via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/23/23
I feel for all involved and wish the best to the surviving victims (Mark, the families and loved ones.)
Monica90068 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
I like the interviews can i get more on this care or any case. Loved it
YennyVillar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/23
I had to turn this off. I was so furious. I’m a feminist and a staunch advocate of protecting women from abuse and highlighting the prevalence of femicide - when a man (for any NUMBER of reasons) murders a woman. Yet flip the tables and we are supposed to see Jennair as a victim of trauma because...Read full review »
