“Usually love sue perkins but this podcast feels like it revels in other peoples pain, the attempts to emphasize come across disingenuous and the politics are off. I don’t really see how wishing for someone to be arrested is helpful for either victim or perpetrator. Glorified daily mail article a...”Read full review »

“Better Help don’t do thorough checks on the therapists working. The therapists earn minimum wage per hour and do not have sufficient supervision.
It is an unethical practice and can be a risk to those in acute mental distress.”

Sue Perkins is an excellent host and incredibly funny — there were numerous occasions where I actually laughed out loud, thereby incurring some...”Read full review »

“I was looking for an Au Pair - and now I’m not. At the very least this woman doesn’t appear to have physically hurt any children but as the mother of a special needs child this story has made me even more distrustful of allowing other people to care for my son. Also, this podcast highlights the...”Read full review »

“I am a bit underwhelmed with the latest episode as their trying to empathise with the fraudster and try to be balanced. But it’s just really poorly done and I’m not sure why they bothered with this latest episode as it’s just telling us she’s has faked her identity again. But no real new news.”

“I normally love Sue Perkins but the delivery and convo between the two hosts feels forced and disingenuous. Also leans into the mumsnet tabloid outrage that better investigative podcasts tend to avoid. I’d guess Sue bought the rights to a Vice article and the journalist insisted on being a part...”Read full review »

“It seems like they did some investigation but it’s hard to see it, overall this just feels really thin and surface level. It could have been one long episode but for the narrator’s frequent interruptions to make sure she is Saying The Right Things. Which is fine, it just shouldn’t be the focus...”Read full review »

“Brilliant journalism… so much stuff uncovered. I need another series. I had to listen to this in one go.
I won’t spoil it for anyone… but her obsession with kids now makes sense … and should be a concern for the future.”

“Others have been quite succinct and on point with their reviews. This is nothing more than tabloid garbage. Exploiting victims in the name of a trite podcast.
If Sue Perkins wasn’t annoying enough, she really ups the ante here.”

“Just the investigative journalism will do, thank you. The constant musings of the obvious by the podcaster took away from the listening experience. Just get on with the story, which sounds like it’s a good one, but just can’t continue listening.”

“I’d followed this story on Tik Tok as I’d seen Carrie’s post re air B&B. I’d noticed her chats had become more fantastical over time.
I’m surprised the ladies who brought this to the fore weren’t given a little credit. Hence the 3 stars.”

“Amazing story, well-edited with good music and thoughtful sound design. But Katherine Denkinson cannot help starting each sentence with “ABSOLUTELY” or “she/he ABSOLUTELY did”. Renders this potentially amazing podcast a tough one to endure.”

“and hence this is one of the main reasons she does what she does. She hates herself and she can’t stand seeing others enjoy their life. She has a lifetime of nastiness in her.
