“I used to listen all the time. The re releases are such a disappointment. I just can’t with this pod much longer. It was stellar now not so much. So many repeats. There are so many new stories that can actually be focused on.”

“Since September last year the only new episodes are just (re-release) of stories that have been told in the last years, there is nothing new about the said stories or new ones, one person who said this was bashed by the host on facebook for seeing the stories just as numbers and no people, sorry...”Read full review »

“Laine does such a great job reading directly from court transcripts and news stories, and I love when she re-releases the same episode with the old intro left in! Best of all, it’s an old case with zero updates! She creatively starts the episodes off with some poor me excuses, and stigmatizes...”Read full review »

“I’m starting from the very beginning of the show. I love it so far but the music is VERY unnerving. Like who thought the nursery rhyme-like jingles was a good idea??? I hope this changes and quick. I feel like it’s not really appropriate for a podcast like this.”

“Thank you for your series supporting trans and LGBTQ youth. I support you even more because of this.
If you lose listeners because of this, good riddance.
Keep up the great work!”

“If a child had to experience this, the least we can do is listen to their story. Lane takes one of the most harrowing topics and shares important stories, warning signs, and ways to help. Somehow, even with this topic, Lane’s quick wit and dark humor add a bit of much needed levity and shared...”Read full review »

“What is the point of a podcast if all you do is read outload the articles and play recordings of court/news/tv? Their is no story I still don't know what happened to the victims beacuse it's just filled inserts of clips. Not informative at all, cannot communicate what happened.”Read full review »

“Just finished the Kendzia story & Wow Shane is an amazing human being! I believe Susan Kendzia poisoned her (Munchausen by proxy) for this reason. Shane’s innate empathy & ability to connect with others prolly made Susan insanely envious & furious (even as a baby). It’s a miracle...”Read full review »

“I’m not a fan of the rants that are added, or the woe-is-me excuses, but it’s not my show so 🤷🏻♀️. I do skip the re-releases. I don’t want to re-listen to an episode that has no updates. It definitely doesn’t encourage me to put a monetary effort toward the show. However, the rants and “it’s...”Read full review »

“You can tell Laine puts in so much time doing research in every case. I’m not a fan of some of her opinions but it’s obvious she truly cares about every child. The way she tells each child’s story gives them a voice and memory that they deserve. I definitely recommend.”

“how many more reruns & episodes about the Kedzia children are we gonna keep hearing. Additionally, the Re-release of episodes mashed together, & the laziness of not even editing out the intro/outros of 2 episodes mashed together as a “mega episode” is pure laziness.”

“Gross. Please don’t pretend you’re not exploiting the suffering of kids to get ad dollars. You’re not “giving these children voices,” you’re using the horror of their sad lives to pander to listeners who want to hear terrible stories for their luridness. Shame.”
