Season 1 is great BUT, why did none of these people involve the police and report the people as rapists??? It’s maddening to listen to. It once did any of these victims involve law enforcement. It makes no sense. UGH. I liked Season 2 better just because it wasn’t as frustrating.

The reporting for season 1: power trip is impeccable, and goes to uncover much of the corruption and lack of proper care that exists amongst those in positions of power in the psychedelic field. I look forward to more reporting along these lines, and am grateful for this being brought to light...Read full review »

In a sea of true crime podcasts, “Seed Money” stands out as a fascinating and engaging story. Hanna Rosin has become one of my favourite story tellers. The team knows how to lay out a plot and keep it fair.

I agree with others S2 was a waste but since I listened while being productive, I didn’t feel like I wasted my time just a little attention. Season 1 was so much better. Despite audibly being turned off by every single person’s voice in S1, I found the material to be far more refreshing. While...Read full review »

So basically I had been listening to the podcast before I moved and it was really interesting because I thought it was fun that I was moving to Montana and the podcast was based in Montana. So I had been reading it and I had already had some friends in the area who I had met from my summer...Read full review »

I LOVED season 1 and found it interesting and investigating something important and valuable to know about that does and could potentially impact many many people. In fact, a friend just mentioned that they were looking at psychedelic therapy studies and I suggested they do more homework,...Read full review »

I really try to keep an open mind. In particular in this case because I have had profound experiences on Psychedelics. And some of the deepest lessons I have learned from these experiences have come from the hardest trips. Folks do psychedelics for different reasons. At this point in my life I...Read full review »

… I listen to podcasts every day. Most of them are True Crime/Swindler stories and the best ones will make you cancel your dinner plans so you can binge them all at once. This one, suggested by another show, is just a massive waste of time. It’s the story a super rich guy in a small town who...Read full review »

This podcast is very well produced making it extremely listenable, but look under the hood and there really is absolutely nothing going on.. It’s actually a little embarrassing that the makers of this pod were simply fed lies, that they swallowed, and at the end we’re like, yeah we still have a...Read full review »

I listened to both seasons and I believe you can find enough out there to know why Season 2 is a total waste of time (no there there!). I have been looking for balanced coverage of potential benefits and risks of psychedelic use, especially now that using many of these plant medicines is being...Read full review »

Brilliant series. Inside the venture cap billionaire & wannabe hero azh*les club. High level reporting, writing, narration, music & effects skills in full effect. 👍👍
cwscws via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/27/22
This podcast was so well done. The music, the main speaker, the twists & turns…I couldn’t stop listening.
drunksrd's path via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/22
This should be 5 stars no question. Absolutely masterfully crafted. Experienced journalist and high production
camerongoodman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/22
Both seasons of this podcast are remarkable, but the first is especially evocative and enraging. I only hate that there isn’t more to listen to. More forever, please.
Yoyonotyetma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/22
This was a clickbait version of a podcast. There’s no story here. I kept waiting for things to turn and to get to the actual point of why we are fascinated with Gaughan and….nothing. Don’t bother.
Marna P via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/22
Amateurish, silly, sensationalistic reporters attempt to pass off lame story about dullards living in backwards of White Fish 🐠 who feel threatened by big city slickers who brought immorality & misogyny with them. This does not make for original story even if reporter tries to convince us of...Read full review »
m.i.n.i.m.a.l.i.s.t. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/22
Their reporting didn’t pan out and they didn’t know what to do with all the material they collected. There’s really no storyline here and it’s kind of a waste of time. I don’t think they should’ve published this at all. Sometimes as a reporter, the story doesn’t go where you think it should, and...Read full review »

Season 1 is interesting, relevant, and well produced. Season 2 is well produced but there is no there there.
drea perk vador via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/22
I listened to five episodes of season two thinking the story would go somewhere. And it did, kinda sorta maybe a little, but the payoff wasn’t worth all the time and build up. All the salaciousness about “the billionaire” went nowhere and feels like it had no purpose other than titillation. It...Read full review »

Great reporting and insight into two very different versions of toxic masculinity and misogyny.
rahyrum via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/22
Had a hard time telling a thorough story, even previewing this in episode one when there’s a lot of discussion about “whether or not this should be a podcast.” Disappointing.
nyjenn1983 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/22
Manufactured expose. Waste of my time. Could have been a single brief article if they had simply fact checked their main source from the outset. I’m irritated they took hours of my time
843zack113 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/22
Yikes, season 2 was the biggest waste of my listening time in all of 2022. Not interesting, not exciting, no impressive journalism going on here. I can’t believe this ever got the green light.

Don’t waste your time
ninjaaaaaays via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/22
Most journalists, when they discover their main source is a complete fraud, would drop the story and move on. Not New York magazine reporters. They make the questionable decision to go ahead, misrepresenting the story in the first several episodes before explaining what really happened.
WesternExposure via Apple Podcasts · Czech Republic · 11/29/22
Fascinating investigative reporting. Each episode has had me looking forward to the next. Keep up the great work.
ddd1212? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/22
Love everything about this podcast. The hosts have great “radio voices”, great music and the story is crafted smoothly. Easy to follow and keep all the characters straight. Always let me wanting more.
Cstrang4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/22
Typical so called expose. Drones on for episode after episode when it could’ve been over in two.
Fun1894 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/22
S2 was a disaster. First ep started strong, seemed like it would be an interesting story. But it all turned out to be irrelevant sideplots that were each discussed for too long, with no payoff in the final episode. Makes it seem like the reporters didn’t do their jobs (no fact checking their main...Read full review »

This podcast is fun and also emotional. It reports on some very important issues with MDMA trials. There also was some concerning stuff about psychedelic drug culture. But firstly it was pretty silly to implicitly compare the two problems. The abusers in the psychedelic drug culture are horrific,...Read full review »

Kherallah24 via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 11/25/22
I wanted to love this. I lived in Montana for 10 years of my life. But this was so cringey. The music, the editing. Got 20 minutes into episode 1 and was done.
Alroker59601 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/22
Hands down the best podcast I have heard on true crime. The journalism is impeccable and the story is riveting - this reinforces the need to keep investigative journalism alive and I cannot wait for season 3!
CNLK1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/22
What a horribly irresponsible piece of supposed journalism. You enthusiastically provide a platform to a convicted criminal and documented liar to spew lies about a man who has been proven without any doubt to be his victim. You allow Matt to repeat his highly defamatory falsehoods about Michael,...Read full review »

Sorry, how do you start a podcast without even background checking the characters?? This was a nothing story that made the hosts look dumb
Raquell26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/22
Season 2 had some really exciting moments but felt a little like a slow burn to no real conclusion. The examination of a billionaire felt maybe a bit derailed? That being said I recognize the hard work and dedication this podcast took!
hcmnwatka via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/22
My issues are that the guests sound like they’re doing ASMR podcasts. I can hear all the breathing, the lip smacking and everything. It’s all picked up clearly through the mic and it makes it hard to listen to what’s actually being said when every 5-10 seconds I hear a deep inhale and exhale and...Read full review »

With regards to season 2: Hey Hanna, Geraldo Rivera called. He said he has the directions to Al Capone’s vault if you need them. Seriously, season 2 is a big nothing burger. Every salacious accusation turns out to be either completely false or easily explainable. There is nothing there. Tech...Read full review »

Listening & waiting for something that is criminal not just rich tech bros behaving very badly. If the point is the rich should be taxed more, I agree.
Could_not_watch_this_movie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/22
I tried to get through season one but after listening to 2 episodes, I give. A lot of filler but no real content. Too mysterious. Let the cat out the bag already.
ct%99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/22
Still can’t figure out what the real point is. The various players are kind of interesting to listen to but it’s kind of a “so what” as far as the actual events being retold.
NancyK1122 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/22
I’ve hung in there with these episodes for a while but it doesn’t seem like solid objective reporting to me. There’s a lot of talk about flawed or biased clinical trials, and misconduct and abuse by practitioners, but it’s ultimately “he said she said” arguments and there’s not a lot to convince...Read full review »

I am enjoying it the mystery, but I can only imagine if the host talked about the way African Americans spoke with the same disdain as white men. She would be cancelled and run out of town, but I guess us white dudes are the last hunt-able game in town.

Honestly Investigate supermodels who have babies w horrible billionaires. Yawn.
spcarver via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/22
I found Season 2 engaging, exciting, and all the things that make for a top tier true crime podcast. But dear god, Hanna is hard to listen to. Even though all signs point to Mike being at minimum a creep and a sexual criminal, Hanna is obvious with her judgements towards him. No unbiased or...Read full review »
