“The tragic story gets lost with the repetitive audio clips, heavy ad content. and the reporter’s iverly dranatic voice.”

“An interesting story but it felt kind of incomplete as I finished the last episode. Like it could have gone further but was lacking some more details. I listen to a lot of podcasts and this has by far the most ads of any podcast I’ve ever listened to. It really takes away from the story.”

“First of all, little Matthew, rest in peace 👼🏼🤍
I want to address the 4⭐️ issue! Reading the reviews it seems the only reason this has 4 stars and not 5 is because of the adverts… YOU CAN SKIP ADVERTS! It’s not hard guys.
This story was told really well, good research and has a good amount of...”Read full review »

“Sure, there are quite a few ads, but they’re easy to skip. This story needs to be told and I think it was done so beautifully. I cannot wait for the documentary.”

“There’s like 15 minutes of content per episode, and half of that is clips from previous episodes. It’s a good story but I don’t need to hear the literal same lines every ten minutes”

“This podcast was very well put together. I enjoyed listening and felt a sense of compassion towards Tracey Raquel. I am so sorry you had to endure all the abuse in your childhood. I do believe that your mama was a DV. I do believe she had so knowledge of what really happened to your brother...”Read full review »

“Tracyraquel’s strength, after an unimaginable childhood, is an inspiration. She is very articulate, tells her story well and what she went through was heartbreaking.
The narrator/host was very annoying, and added nothing to the podcast. She said she spent years on the story but it felt like a...”Read full review »

“Tracyraquel is a force to be reckon with! True embodiment of resilience and courage. Heartbreaking story but felt that Nancy glass the presenter was sensationalizing the story too much. Felt very superficially researched and didn’t do Tracy’s story justice.”

“As the mother of young children, one who was 4 months old just a handful of weeks back, this story broke my heart. However, the way it was told was captivating and did it justice. Due to content, I could only listen to this away from the ears of my littles. But every chance I could get I would...”Read full review »

“Great story with excellent research. It’s quite compelling BUT half of each episode (which is very short to start with) it’s commercials! It’s hard to listen to a story when every 4 minutes or so it stops you to give you another 3 minutes of commercials. I’m all for podcasters getting paid but...”Read full review »

“It’s very clear from episode 1 that the host has her mind made up and is siding with Tracy. Not to say that that’s not her right and the right choice but in looking for objective journalism, this wasn’t it.”

“I’m not typically a fan of true crime, but this was an amazing series about an amazing woman. There are just a few pieces to the puzzle that I think could have been explained more. I’d be very interested to know more about Matthew’s father (a viewer’s question about this was asked in episode 8,...”Read full review »

“A compelling story (so far - I’m on ep. 5)…. HOWEVER, the production style is completely unappealing, like if 50/50 was an audio program (music is corny, host voice too loud) - and the ads are insane! And too long! So 3/5 from me.”
