“A detailed and harrowing account of a terrible place created by a depraved man. What these children suffered is hard to comprehend but the host and interviews did it justice. Chris Newlin’s final thoughts on this type of behaviour at the end were clever and insightful. Worth a listen.”

“This is an incredible story, so important, and very well researched and told. It feels strange to say It’s been a favourite or how much I enjoyed it, given the content matter. Both are true nonetheless, it’s very captivating journalism, exposing a situation and individual stories that needed to...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to quite a few true crime podcasts, and this one ranks near the top. It’s very informative and goes in depth into the history of this evil place. I have no idea why people are paying attention to the ads. Just fast-forward through them, who cares? Bottom line this is a good podcast...”Read full review »

“Wow!! I listened to this podcast and was hooked right away to this sad story about a man who opened a business for behavioral boys at the beginning and later opened a separate girls program to only use it as free access to rape and physically abuse these young boys for years and years while...”Read full review »

“Heartbreaking to hear what evil went on at the camps. Very informative and sad to know that other institutions are out there and like that. Some are closed and some not. Little towns can sometimes harbor big evil.”

“I’m on episode 3 and throwing in the towel. I don’t know that I’ve listened to a pod with more ads. I’ve never quit one bc of them until now. It’s impossible to get into the story. . Avoid.”

“Am I the only one who feels like the voice actor for the Anneewakee attorney has used a borderline offensive, really bad accent in attempt to sound like he is of African American descent?
Enjoying it so far but that voice makes me cringe.”

“I wish the authorities interviewed and quoted would not have referred to the child sexual abuse as “relations.” Call it what it was/is. The interview with Chris Newell was really good about educating people on abuse. As a mom, it broke my heart for these children. The fact that so many people...”Read full review »

“The podcast is well put-together. But having condom ads in every ad break during a podcast that centers around sexual abuse & pedophilia is just gross. I can’t think that Trojan would think this is good placement either. The content is hard enough to listen to without them cutting to happy...”Read full review »

“Good podcast but hearing about sex abuse on animals and minors then cutting to an ad about bare skin condoms and going into detail how great they feel seems a little off putting.”

“The show is really well done. However, the inclusion of ads for Trojan products/condoms that include joking about sex is extremely distasteful and disturbing when listening to a podcast that centers on the graphic rape and repeated abuse of children.”

“The podcast is investigative journalism at its best. But given the number of sexual assault victims that are likely listening to the podcast, the explicit ads are absolutely irresponsible. Another example of greed trumping basic decency and common sense.”

“About half of every episode is an ad for another podcast that plays huge clips of it. It makes listening to the actual story almost impossible, and you’re forced to listen to another podcast that is not the podcast I would choose. Bummer that it has come to this point. Shame on you iheart.”

“I grew up next to this camp.. less than a mile away. I passed it almost every day while going around town. The people of the town would talk of the horrible things that happened here.
