“Stick to the topic. No need to go after JK Rowling. Not everyone has drank the cool aid. Stand up for women in prisons. Stand up for women in refuges. Biology is real. Surely ask one of your doctor friends about this!”

“As a medical professional diagnosed with CRPS myself, the reporting on the 3rd season was disappointing. It’s clear the nurse interviewed at the beginning of the season didn’t know what she was talking about. She incorrectly called the disease Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome.
Also, In the...”Read full review »

“I enjoyed this podcast until I got to the episode where Take Care of Maya was discussed. I had to stop listening as I couldn’t believe the tone deaf commentary. It seemed that they only cared about the impact this would have on their cause, with no regard for Maya and her family.”

“I won’t make it to season 3, because even in season 1, the red flags of bias were present. There was zero questioning about the “ecosystem” created between Cooks Children’s and the cops and the 10 fold increase in cases being investigated since a team was created to look for it? I believe this is...”Read full review »

“Eye-opening and well done, but I feel like, with Maya’s case, that the host was determined from the beginning to assume Maya’s mother was abusive, because she’s primed to do. I feel like she doesn’t seriously consider evidence to the contrary because she’s so clouded by her personal experience....”Read full review »

“I like this podcast but I find the 3rd season is just a rebuttal argument to the documentary “Take Care of Maya.” It really glosses over a lot of problematic material in favor of its argument that Maya was a victim of Munchausen by proxy. It insinuates that the doctor who certified that Maya did...”Read full review »
