“Well done podcast series on an old story has taken on many faces and will never go away. This “Hoax” has benefited those who know and push this lie and devoured the souls of those who believe. The current version in the US is still strong and hungry.”

But, more importantly, while they are busy crying wolf and making up stories they end up causing real victims of violence to be doubted and dismissed. Is there...”Read full review »

“It is unfortunate that podcasts like this uphold the illusion that child sex crimes are hoaxes. There are so many kids trafficked everyday it gets worse and worse and then you have Tortoise Media denying these sex crimes calling them hoaxes.

“Having seen lives of the falsely accused damaged in the original, 1980s-90s Satanic Panic in the US, I was horrified to see that it continues (and indeed, has morphed into QAnon and our generally paranoid and unhinged political present). Alexis Mostrous is an excellent reporter, gifted in both...”Read full review »

“The podcast was presented well. But demonising people who speak truths by calling them “conspiracy theorists” is a dirty and common trick. To dismiss the awful abuse that takes place for example in the Catholic Church as a Conspiracy Theory” is where credibility for me was lost. I then went to...”Read full review »
