“I don’t understand why people have difficulty believing that a mother would hurt their children? They accept that a mother would beat their child! How is this different?! It’s all abuse!”

“Each episode is filled with stories of a subject that is still being pushed under the rug. Medical child abuse is nothing new but rarely discussed this in depth. You can tell that the host is truly passionate about this subject, as it is a part of her family story. Listen and learn how this form...”Read full review »

“Andrea is very bright, but my goodness gracious she just loves saying what an expert she is! Condescension towards others with different views seems to be her baseline too - yuck. Perhaps it’s how she inserts her own political views into a podcast about MP and perhaps it’s all of it. If she...”Read full review »

“The info about MBP has been fascinating and enlightening to hear in this podcast. What’s less clear is the narrative structure and journalism. The first few episodes were confusing - Hope’s story seems to be a proxy for her sister’s story - which she refers to incessantly, but never shares any...”Read full review »

“This season is dragging out and way too woke for me. The referring to one person as “they” is really annoying. No one is a they. Jackie the “trans” therapist said “like” a million times. Not a great season. Yea im done with this podcast”

“It is difficult to find a true crime podcast that delves into a sensitive topic and touches on profound societal concerns. Because of this podcast, I do not accept journalistic publications and documentaries as fact. We are all biased even when considering “facts”. Unfortunately our legal system...”Read full review »

“I loved this stop. The first 2 seasons are amazing. I didn’t listen to 3. It was sporadic and a story I felt like I came into the end of it. The first episode of season 4 almost made me want to stop and leave a 1-star review. DO NOT blame others for the abuse of a parent in a small town. That...”Read full review »

“I was so engrossed in the first 3 seasons and enjoyed them immensely. As the 4th season moved along, I found myself wondering why so much time was devoted to this one story. It felt like it could have been wrapped up in half the number of episodes due to the amount of repetitive content. It took...”Read full review »

“I only listened to season 4 but you got know sense of what MbP actually is. Every episode seemed to be essentially the same, it's hard to feel anything for Jo since we were never told much about what happened to them. It's confusing as why Jo's family is mostly estranged from them....”Read full review »
