Hours that I can’t get back
Remarks for the host: there is no need to keep mentioning the poor audio quality or your horrible laugh every time you introduce another interview. It takes the listener out of the story and isn’t necessary. We get it, you never intended for this to be a podcast, and actually it probably shouldn’t have been. I was initially very interested in this story, but it felt like there was too much emphasis on Brett and the celebrity nightlife that was going on at that time. For what appeared to be a podcast about Bennington, it didn’t feel like I was actually left with a story about the school. Also, for 2 writers that used their Bennington experience and relationships to inspire their novels, I’m surprised there wasn’t more commentary around the morality of novelists using real people for fictional characters? This podcast goes in so many other directions that felt like a waste of time.

I find Traci’s story fascinating (I remember first reading about it in a much more nuanced way in the...Read full review »

So I’ve listened to 4 episodes and I’m done. 1 episode from Traci’s perspective and 3 from the porn industry. The ones from the porn industry are just self serving and there is no analysis or delving into the psychological issues and behaviors that a victim of sexual abuse. The whole point of...Read full review »
