No Longer disappointed! (updated review)
Update: I’m so glad that Thomas is back! I’m not super familiar with all the details of the last year or so, but I definitely couldn’t continue to support the podcast when everything went down and the podcast was stolen by Andrew. I missed listening to OA so much!! It had always been a staple in my podcast rotation, so having it back has been so enjoyable! I also very much enjoy the real world experience shared by the new cohost, Matt, and his partner Casey. They bring a new depth that is refreshing, and their input is really helpful for me in understanding the procedural nature of so many of the legal topics OA is currently covering. I hope this podcast continues to be run by Thomas, as I feel his leadership has been the best thing to happen to it in the past year and a half. Previous review: Imagine claiming to be an advocate for survivors of SA…..while being a predator yourself (alcoholism isn’t an excuse, as Andrew acknowledged…at the very least)…and then imagine viciously attacking one of your accusers who also was a close friend and cohost for many years….and stealing everything from him….this is why it’s so hard for survivors to trust men, including seemingly innocent, charismatic men. They can claim to be your ally while victimizing people in private. And when it all comes out, instead of stepping back to deal with the personal issues leading to everything, he insists on quickly lashing out and defaming hi former cohost, stealing from him everything he worked so hard on…shameful. I used to love this podcast, it was always in the top ranks in my books. It’s painfully disappointing, the vindictive and abusive behavior on display from Andrew when everything came to light turned my stomach the same way so many other secret predators had before.
