Wow
I know I’m late to the party, but what a terrific piece of work you have done here. As a former gymnast during the years that Larry was an abuser, I just feel for these young ladies so much. I thought I knew this story inside and out, but boy was I wrong. I learned so much from your reporting…...Read full review »

Wonderfully sensitive podcast, eye-opening and fair where victims are finally put at the center of their own stories.

What a phenomenal podcast. I typically don’t listen to anything explicit because I feel I have such a sensitive soul, but with the Olympics playing there has been an increased interest in women’s gymnastics once again (with myself included in that interest). I began researching the Larry Nassar...Read full review »

There was no excuse to let your child go back to a doctor that had an erection. I hope they all end up like Kyle’s pointless father & I hope THEIR guilt is crushing! They are to blame!

Fantastic and intelligent reporting! Loved it!

I’ve been interested in the Larry Nassar Trial since I seen athlete A. And this gives my information about the trial I can use to study the case

I’ve only found this podcast recently, but feel compelled to leave a review to say what a great job the makers have done with telling a shocking story. The podcast is scrupulously factaul but empathetically told throughout, foregrounding the many survivors’ remarkable strength, whilst sensitively...Read full review »

I so applaud the young women who tried to plead their case only to have their concerns dismissed by their parents, therapists and the police. I have a lot of sympathy for otherwise strong and powerful women who waited far too long and were far too conflicted to report the crimes committed against...Read full review »

Such important work.
AP_1984 via Apple Podcasts · Austria · 04/24/23
My Domestic Violence Clinic professor had our class listen to this podcast to help us think about trauma and believing survivors and how abusers are able to hide their abuse and instill self-doubt through charm. Before listening, I had heard of Larry Nassar, read a few articles, but hadn’t...Read full review »

This is a great resource for anyone who wants to know more about these atrocities. I appreciate the thoughtful and responsible storytelling.

I had no clue the extent of this horrible man. This was an amazing podcast. Praying for the survivors.
Zanna bo banna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/22
Thank you for reporting on this and showing both the horror and the survival/strength. It is hard to listen to but important to hear.

This is so important to educate people on sexual abuse
idk abotu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/22
Sexual abuse topic done respectfully and with great impact. It’s hard to listen to but so glad it’s out there for people to pay attention. Believe us!!!
ebraun via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/09/22
Please do more series like this one: amazing job, congratulations.
LeahIT via Apple Podcasts · France · 06/09/22
This should be required listening for anyone who cares for children. The trust that parents give is priceless and must be honored. This podcast is a heartbreaking reminder of what happens when that trust is misused.
Very busy chef via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/22
The voice of the main speaker is smooth and easy to listen to. The reporting is VERY well done! Appreciated being able to listen to so many of the victims speak for themselves! Hearing his trickery his lies, the ignorance of the police and neglect of the schools. Hearing from the parents who were...Read full review »

Good storytelling and production values, along with an extra dose of sensitivity for "Dr" Nassar's (he surrendered his medical license.) sexual abuse of so many teenage girls, often his young victims were members of the USA Gymnastics program. A great example of a story that needs...Read full review »
Katrina-2000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/22
Good content. The vocal fry of the host is distracting. But that’s just me… I have sensitivity to it when I hear it.
PiHouse via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/22
Really appreciate the reporting on this, only wish it was much longer! This case is so dense, I could’ve easily listened to 2 or 3x more than what’s available. Feels a bit ridiculous on the part of NPR to require ads in the middle of episodes that are this short and intense, otherwise this is a...Read full review »

Incredibly insightful and magnificently reported! This is a phenomenal piece of work and a podcast series that everyone needs to listen to! I couldn’t recommend this enough.
Chesco101 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/23/21
Very well reported. Definitely start at episode 1. No, hear me out, try starting with the first one. Crazy, I know. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Kurtousy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/21
Job well done - so impactful on many levels.
Mirkammom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/21
I’m struck by “offer forgiveness, but first, Perdue justice”. What an amazing story. Thank you.
Carriebygrace via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/21
Thank you to everyone involved in this podcast. It is heartbreaking to listen to, but must be brought into the light.
Meli711 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/21
phenomenal show- everyone should listen to this. such a beautifully told, excruciatingly painful example of how someone so cherished can be such a monster. i am blown away, and wish i could listen to it for the first time all over again!
hotguypopeye via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/21
Thank you for sharing these stories, told in such a respectful way. This is an excellent podcast on such a heart wrenching matter. Thoughts, prayers, and hope to all the survivors.
queenof2b2g via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/21
Thoughtful podcast. Can be triggering but such important stories to hear. Believe someone when they tell you they are a victim.
e.m-/:;()$&@"0987 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/14/21
Took a dark subject matter and told it in a way that honored the victims and those involved. The host does an incredible job breaking it all down and keeping it from being too hard to listen too. This story has stuck with me long after finishing all the episodes.
Berger_King via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/21
My heart breaks for every victim of this monster, Nassar. It is truly mind-blowing he got away with this for so long. Kyle really impacted me, what happened to her and how she was not believed at first, is very disturbing.
Cole teichreb via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/13/21
Believed – When a monster is trusted I found this podcast by just searching up for podcasts and I looked through a list of them and picked the one that spoke to me the most. Being a gymnast myself I really loved anything that deals in the world of gymnastics. Although I had already been aware of...Read full review »

A story that needs to be heard more! Highly recommend.
Filimon1 via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 03/30/21
Great podcast. My only problem is wanting Larry Nassar to be punished more than he is. I’m still so outraged.
Irishfan-12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/21
Wanted to listen to one episode while doing housework. Spent the whole day bingeing it. Highly recommend.
Daddy Perkins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/21
This is a heartbreaking story. The podcast really gives the girls a chance to tell their stories. I was absolutely revolted at times. I’m so glad he got caught but so sad it took so long. Disgusting. Lovely podcast and well researched and narrated by both the nice young ladies. I hope the victims...Read full review »

I’ve listened to so many podcasts about crime and horrible injustices and about lives that have been irreparably destroyed by predators of all types. Never have I cried that hard ugly cry like I did experiencing this podcast. The delivery was not only perfectly balanced but also superbly...Read full review »
Angelkissed479 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/21
Shocking that so many girls made complaints and were effectively ignored. Shows the disparity of power between a respected and loved male medical doctor and girls. Can only hope that the same thing would not happen now.
AS101111 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 02/20/21
I literally binged this season in 2 days. The storytelling is so well done. I followed the Nassar case when it first came out, watched USA gymnasts speaking at trial on YouTube, and watched “Athlete A,” but this might be my favorite!
chloeee88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/21
This was so good. So glad these ladies were able to tell their stories and make a difference
brewer clan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/21

Thought I Knew about the events around this, how wrong I was. Brilliantly told and horrifyingly addictive to hear the girls real life events... not stories!! Thank you
Ellswoofers via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/27/21
Great reporting, well researched, and focused correctly on the victims instead of the perpetrator. Sections are difficult to hear, but necessary.
Code chLbH2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/21
This was above and beyond. Everyone needs to listen. The women journalists - amazing work, I’m keen to find more work from you.
OliviaCamilleOz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/31/20
I found this in the “binge worthy” category and there is a part of me that despises that category but also celebrates it. I’m despised because a podcast about sexual assault shouldn’t be deemed “binge worthy” but if it gets people to listen and understand when someone comes forward with their...Read full review »

I listened to this podcast as I was trying to process my own childhood trauma of sexual abuse by a family member and was dealing with my entire family not believing me and casting me out. As hard as it was to go through such a time as that, to have this podcast available to listen to during that...Read full review »

What a heartbreaking recount of an almost unbelievable but unfortunately very real story. It’s hard to swallow what happened to all these girls. As a survivor of abuse myself, I feel this Podcast very personally. Everyone should listen to this - to learn, to give the victims a voice and to never...Read full review »
