I never heard the term grooming ascribed to the judge. The Alabama woman was groomed beginning at the age of 13 by her father’s “best friend”. It could be that she hasn’t been able to heal her trauma because she hasn’t recognized and accepted the role that her parents played in that trauma: Her...Read full review »

A very confronting, harmful heinous act/behaviour handled sensitively and thoroughly by the journalist & incredibly courageously & inspiringly by the victims. Wish them well & will certainly look out for more podcasts by journalist, Amy Brittain.

This story is absolutely fascinating. Two seemingly unrelated situations tie two women together in a journey where they get to be defined not by what happened to them but by how they showed up for themselves and their communities. The episode where the two subjects finally meet is affirming and...Read full review »

I love this series!!! I can’t get enough of this series! These are everyday stories that effect everyone! Keep the stories coming! What an eye opener on what’s really happening behind the scenes!

Whatever I write will never be able to adequately capture the brilliance of this series and the women who made it possible. I want to thank Lauren and Carole for not only coming forward, but for their relentless pursuit of the true justice that they and all victims deserve. Neither women had to...Read full review »

The point is simply this: A sex offender cannot be the judge of other sex offenders. The end. These brave women are amazing, and Thank you Carol, of Birmingham, Alabama for doing what it would have been much easier not to do. It’s women like you who make the world a better place. A safer place. A...Read full review »

Wow
This was brilliant and so moving.

It’s brilliant and completely moving. Every man should listen to this.

What a great bit of investigative journalism that raises lots of questions about the Judiciary. Judge Morrisons light sentence here and elsewhere, Attorney Marcus-Kurn’s light charges in the face of a slam dunk case of a serial offender and the failure of the post trial agency charged with...Read full review »

This is one of the greatest podcasts I’ve listened to…and I listen for a minimum of 4 hours 5 days a week. This story is beautifully told. I fell in love with Lauren, Carole and her parents, Gene and Janet. Listening made me feel so proud of these women. They are strong, powerful women who will...Read full review »

As someone who has suffered similar experiences I found the rawness and real-ness of the conversations just touched on all my own feelings of betrayal, pain, self-punishment, embarrassment, condemnation by others’, and a feeling you’re making a fuss over something now passed. However the moments...Read full review »

Amy reports with such thoroughness and empathy. It’s heartwarming. The story itself is enraging. Men covering up for each other in such a way!

I loved it so much that I finished it in one day
HEBA7Rb via Apple Podcasts · Saudi Arabia · 08/30/21
One of my favorite podcast reporting - incredible journalism, and impactful storytelling. We need to continue reporting abuse like this and holding the abusers (and the doubters) accountable, with fact checking data driven reporting. Job well done with this piece, and wishing all the best to the...Read full review »

Great storytelling, important story to have told. People complaining about the host’s voice/speech - stop! Sexist nonsense. Her voice is fine.
Kate F E via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/21
While I was drawn to the podcast and wanted to hear the story, I have to admit that the host made it challenging to keep listening. The s’s and over pronounced words (“Pooost”) made me want to give up and find an article instead. I hate to be critical, but for a podcast, the voice of the host is...Read full review »

The strength of these women and hearing how this story was reported is incredible

laws need to change.. 50%of the population a should not be able to get away with sexual assault on the other 50% of the population. Hope this sheds some light on how LONG the pain is from these assaults.. the violation is unspeakable and permanent
Goattrails via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/21
It is well done, but I have some doubts about whether it is prudent to accuse someone of sexual misconduct based on events that allegedly happened decades ago. Research on memory shows that our memories are flawed and that, even if we believe we remember things correctly and are confident in our...Read full review »

This podcast is very well done and extremely interesting. I couldn’t stop listening! Thank you to all involved, this is important work.

I absolutely love investigative podcasts!! Canary is great! The story is so well put together start to finish. Definitely worth a listen!!!
Derixmom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/21
Very engaging investigative reporting, with a heart- provides empathetic and balanced reporting on a very loaded story, about multiple sexual assaults, that are linked in a surprising way. A very worthwhile listen- keep the tissue close by, tears will be shed. Love to all brave enough to tell...Read full review »

Thank you for being an advocate for these women.
Nes143 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/21
This is now officially my favorite podcast, ever. Just fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I love these two women. These three women, actually. <3
therealtamishow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/21
This story is so well done. The host does these victims justice with this. It’s raw and emotional and incredible to hear the journey these women have endured as well as the faults in our justice system (to say the least). Amazing podcast.
cornmuffin5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/21
This podcast is superbly constructed, balanced, and highlights the most pervasive, damaging, and insidious forms of male privilege. Tough to listen to, but critical to process in order to stop it from continuing.
Terroirexplorer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/21
A very interesting and important topic. Two beautiful stories well told. Writing this review in the hopes that even more people will listen!

I have followed podcasts for the last few years. My favorite genre is true crime. But this podcast is totally amazing! These are the stories that need to be told. And Amy Brittain is one the best I’ve heard. I hope she does more! Bravo New York Post!
njhbgty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
I’ve never reviewed a podcast before, though I’m a frequent listener. This podcast riveted me like no other. It captured the essence of two remarkable women in a way I haven’t experienced. Thank you for treating them with respect and telling their story. I felt like you were telling the story of...Read full review »

Loved every minute of it.
Cathyzander via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/21
I hope all women (and men) will find their strength to stand up to their perpetrators. My favorite part was when she made the fliers to let everyone know this monster is living in their neighborhood. She took her power back when he was bringing her down, just by working near her and walking by...Read full review »

The bravery of these two women is astounding. Told in such a poignant, respectful way.
madeline.e.d via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/21
A beautifully told story about a topic all too familiar to women. The courage and strength of these two women - perhaps especially when they are so willing to be raw and vulnerable in the podcast - is a testament to the resiliency and bad-assery of women. Binged it. Loved it.
MissSR13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/21
I’m so deeply grateful for these women. In a world where seeking justice is still so undeniably fraught and unfair, where the deck is maddeningly stacked against us, it’s a powerful thing to still seek it, but more importantly maybe to also seek our own healing and joy by sharing our stories with...Read full review »

This reporter stands out as a superior storyteller. Each episode is so perfectly crafted & so compelling. I am grateful for the honestly with which she engaged such a difficult tale. Worthwhile listen for everyone!!!

Her voice is so soothing.

Fairly new to podcasts and this one was recommended by another I was listening to. Immediately was drawn in and couldn’t stop listening! Thank you for the thorough reporting and bravery to tell this important story. And I loved the song at the end! Well done.

This podcast covered a range of emotions for the listener. Carole and Lauren what wonderful role models you both are. Thank you Amy for shining a light and giving the ladies a platform to share their stories.
