“The fact that they labeled this murder as a “rational decision” is mindboggling. At the beginning, the hosts seem to be unbiased and neutral. However, as the story progresses, they empathize more and more with the murderous adoptive parents. This podcast did not do the children justice.”

“Overall, I appreciate the journalism. As an African American this really confirms that White people are oblivious to so many issues that people of color face. It’s absurd that so many of the Hart’s so-called friends turned a blind eye to children that were clearly starving. I applaud those who...”Read full review »

“Your dedication to tell this story in its entirety is amazing. Thank you for standing up for the children. Seeing continued support for the adoptive “parents” (more aptly named abusive manipulative monsters) is awful and you did a great job exposing them.”

“Thank you for your great journalism and ability to tell the whole yet unbiased story of their lives. It is tragic and heartbreaking and sadly true the foster system and this podcast brings this to the forefront again and hopefully can spark some positive change”

“Interesting and tragic story. Can’t handle the narrative being pushed here. Sickening for these podcasters to focus on racism and lesbian inequality when the innocent, adopted children were the true victims. 🤮”

“Wow, just wow. This podcast gives us the perspective we need on this case, two ultra liberal white/ jewish women that apologise and try to find excuses for why these murderers killed these children. Of course around an hour and a half of this show is them explaining to the audience that racism is...”Read full review »

“I was incredibly disappointed with this podcast. About 5 mins of each episode is adverts, and the content that remained could easily have been covered in 3-4 episodes. It was incredibly drawn out and the presenters repeated certain points multiple times.”

“This podcast was hard to get through mainly because of the number of ads in every episodes. The family of the young children weren’t interviewed and the hosts and pretty much everyone they interviewed seemed to sympathize the parents. This podcast was a poor tribute to those children. These hosts...”Read full review »

“I found the editorial voice of this podcast disturbing. Referring to these two white women who adopted six black children and exploited and abused them as “their mothers” bothered me. These children had mothers and African American relatives who wanted to care for them.

“The actual subject of this podcast is appearances vs. reality, as typified by social media. It’s actually quite shallow and tawdry. There is very little time spent investigating the systems that tragically failed these children- episode 6 is the only substantive one- and much more time relishing...”Read full review »

“A very interesting and tragic story, well researched and thoughtful.
Two quick cons: I totally understand why podcasts need advertisers but it’s really a lot in these short episodes. I also wonder a bit about the title “broken harts”? Is it worth the pun given this painful story?”

“Good storytelling, although I didn't listen to the last one-plus episodes. The narrators talked a lot about themselves, which didn't add much to the story. Then every once in a while a woman would come on and spend 20 minutes describing every blade of grass and grain of sand in the area.”Read full review »
