“The first couple of episodes were pretty interesting then they kept repeating the same quotes and info over and over. Probably could have made it a 5 part series.”

“Just wow!! I lived in Chicago during this time. Friends now live down the street from the hospital. This podcast is so well presented!! I’m not going to lie, some episodes are infuriating. I strongly suggest you listen!!”

“An eye-opening series about a group of bad apples that took over a once-prominent hospital. It’s almost like what would happen if a handful of “Doctor Deaths” were on staff at a hospital. A well-produced, researched and intriguing story that hooked me immediately.”

“I grew up in the Edgewater/Andersonville neighborhood where Edgewater hospital was located. The history of the hospital was something that I was familiar with but didn't know all the details. The podcast is fascinating and also captivating because I know some of the people who were...”Read full review »

“Just finished listening to it - it brought up numerous emotions in me as a former employee!
I went between heartbroken, panic-stricken(esp during the discussion about the hyperbaric chamber), and triumph!
Great job, Stephani and Todd! Cannot WAIT until next Sunday!”

“Wow love the podcast as a wanna be urban explorer.
So, as an Aon colleague, I’m quite familiar with W Clement Stone who appeared to be friends with Dr Mazel via the donation of the hypberbaric chamber. Interestingly enough Stone’s business - Combined Insurance - was just blocks away at 5000...”Read full review »

“I spent over a decade working with Edgewater Hospital as an outside vendor. I had front row seats to the unfortunate saga. I worked with Dr Cubria, only becoming aware of the “scam” when I saw it aired on CBS. I have really enjoyed the this highly accurate and well done Podcast.”

“Great podcast, but I think it’s time you tackle something a little more challenging. How about Henry J Zac. Who is he ? Well he used to work as a clerk in the money storage vault at the First National Bank of Chicago in 1977 and over a long Columbus Day weekend one million dollars walked...”Read full review »

“As a former employee of Edgewater Hospital (1984 - 1988), I find this podcast just absolutely fascinating. I left the hospital when the layoffs began and there were rumors of an investor coming in to save the hospital for $1M, so I was not working there when the fraud started. I grew up in...”Read full review »

At the time I asked my sister about the buildings. What was the story? She seemed to know only that it used to be a hospital but...”Read full review »

“I grew up and still live in the Edgewater neighborhood and this hospital has always been a curiosity to me. I never knew the details but was told it was an awful hospital, and that it was haunted.

“The host voices are robotic, with no emotion, like this might as well be an infomercial. I think the research is great, and listen-ability would increase 500% if they would re-record the two host parts as if they’re simply talking to the audience.”

My youngest brother had a staff infection 2-3 days after he was born which resulted in permanent brain damage. Nothing...”Read full review »
