“I was interested in this podcast for the first half and then it became slightly boring. I don’t think it needed to be 10 episodes long.”

“Host/Journalist/Author did a phenomenal job with this podcast. I was hooked immediately. So I listened to like 3 episodes throughout that day I started it and then I told my husband I had to binge the rest. All he heard was me saying “ oh my god this story is crazy or wild or insane” lol. The...”Read full review »

“Great investigative reporting. A lot ask, “What has happened to investigative reporting?” This sheds a light on the journalists who are doing the work, and why their work is not being published or broadcast. This is a lesson as to why publishers must stay out of the editorial decisions so that...”Read full review »

“The content is great fantastic journalism and story telling.
That’s the content.
The container is iHeart Radio. That means there are ads. Many ads. Two to four minutes worth of ads. Every 10 minutes. Always the same ads. It’s so annoying that it makes you don’t want to listen to these...”Read full review »

“I stumbled upon this podcast and was gripped immediately. I couldn’t wait to listen to it. I am saddened that Carmen is still free to do work. I see that he just did a YouTube video about ophthalmology 10 months ago. How can that be? Tragedy.”

“It’s a very interesting story and the podcast itself is well told. My major problem was the amount of ads. The ads really take you out of the story because they occur every few minutes and last several minutes. I would say that a third of the episode is ads and 2/3 is story. That might be being...”Read full review »

“This is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to with one exception - the ads. The ads are an exercise in perseverance. They were long, repetitive and weirdly placed. I am sure many people missed out on a great podcast because of the ads. Thank goodness for fast forward or I would have...”Read full review »

“I was gripped by this storytelling from Episode 1. Highly recommend to anyone who admires truth in journalism, especially when there is no fear in unearthing tragedy, ugliness and corruption. It is beyond me how the former Editors of the L.A. Times and USC brass repeatedly chose clout, money and...”Read full review »

“This is a very well done podcast- I listened to all ten episodes in two days. Captivating and inspiring (and enraging given the subject matter and the havoc wrought upon all the victims) I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is now at the top of my list of recommendations.”

“So well researched, perfectly put together podcast. But really it’s just moralising about people who use drugs. Who cares? As long as he does it in private I dont have a problem with people doing drugs. He’s not hurting anyone else. Sarah was an adult getting paid for her services. Well paid.”

“This is why the press is so important, in spite of editors at LAT attempting to undermine good reporting at every turn. Corruption is alive and well. USC and it’s enablers are a scourge. I wish more people were informed about this. we should all be disgusted”

“Highly engaging and well told. The only missing element I needed was more theory on the why. The medical dean resigned shortly after the initial allegations, and the other dean knew the story was coming, so why not run him over with a bus and sell him out? Also, why did USC have a mob-like hold...”Read full review »
