“Title 9 didn’t pass until I was in college so I grew up with sports being male dominated. I went to a brand new high school which had labeled (on the building exteriors) a Girls’ Gym (contained a stage and used for concerts and plays, along with basketball backstops) and a Boys’ Gym (ordinary...”Read full review »

“I’m not even a sports fan and I loved this series. Great expose on women’s soccer (sports). A story that needed to be investigated along time ago. The actual victims speaking and investigated made the series so believable and valuable. Great production and team!”

“Season 4 is incredibly high quality reporting and storytelling, plus excellent narration by USWNT phenom alum Bri Scurry. I was moved to tears at season’s end.

“I was 5 episodes in and loved this podcast. As a parent of a teenager it opened my eyes to just how big the hazing issue is. But in episode 5 when Iggy referenced the “don’t say gay bill” you lost me forever. Clearly Iggy just watches main stream media and doesn’t really do his research. FYI....”Read full review »

“This was a great episode, very hard to listen to. I thank God for the strength he has given these parents and this young man to relive this terrible ordeal.

“This podcast addresses the issue of hazing in American sports - and it’s symptomatic of a larger problem of violence in America. This pod is well-researched, offers compelling interviews, and asks questions to which we may not have answers.
Must Listen — especially if you were ever hazed.”

Not only did I learn about his background, I learned a bit about the racist history of South Africa and the region’s abhorrent treatment of women. The host,...”Read full review »
