“I’ve read about the sisters before but it’s amazing to have June herself talk about her and Jennifer’s lives. Thank you.
I did find it difficult to understand June when I first tried listening on a (not great) speaker in a room but once I switched to earbuds I had no further problem.
I hope...”Read full review »

“This really puts in perspective how our culture takes advantage of vulnerable people and turns them into a spectacle. This is so kindly and respectfully done and exposes the truth of what happened to these poor girls. How different their lives may have been had they had the correct diagnosis and...”Read full review »

“As a child we had the 80s film “The Silent Twins” on VHS. The story was completely haunting. For me this podcast comes full circle. I have always wondered what happened to the twins and why. This podcast finally tells the story from June Gibbons point of view. What is brilliant about the podcast...”Read full review »

“This was really fascinating. To hear June talking about the experiences from her own point of you and the dynamic between sisters, who couldn’t live without each other but wanted to kill each other when together, how they shut themselves off to the world… truly interesting.”

“This was a really interesting podcast giving the details and voice to a story I’d heard of years ago. Great to hear June’s voice which made this an intimate human story. Sad to hear about the poor treatment of these young women by parts of society, the criminal justice system and the mental...”Read full review »

“I learned about the twins originally off a episode of Killer kin (Podcast). Hard for me to believe that this was there story. A pull of tug and war about there identity. A shared identity, shared with a twin that Jennifer couldn't seem to recognize or see pass due to differences. Out of...”Read full review »

“A fascinating story completely ruined by over-production. Darting from one scenario to another like a mosquito on speed.
Loud inappropriate and disturbing music along with clunky aural effects ruins the entire listening experience.
How NOT to make a podcast!”

“As a Dutch listener I just can’t distinguish what June’s saying. The story is fascinating, but I miss half of it, due to June’s pronunciation. Wonder if it’s the same for British listeners.”

“I’d heard this story on another podcast and it was great to hear the story from June’s perspective. I had no trouble understanding June, the podcast would be pointless told by a story teller as some have suggested.”

“I really enjoyed (if that’s the right word) listening to this. The story is both fascinating and horrifying. I had no issues understanding June. The suggestion that an actor reads out her part would completely undermine the meaning and impact of the podcast. Listening to her real voice (speech...”Read full review »

“June provides a composed and detailed account of the sisters time in broadmoor. It’s impossible to understand how difficult it must have been for June to recount the challenges they faced in their teens and twenties. I can follow her account clearly and disagree with some of the other reviews. ...”Read full review »

“A tragic story very much of it’s time. Society contributed to the alienation of these beautiful, misunderstood girls. They were driven, by the callous, ignorant people around them to retreat into their own world - in order to just survive each day. The sadness I felt, for these girls, made my...”Read full review »
