“This podcast did not hook me immediately but I stayed with it because I really liked Laura Biel’s other reporting on important stories and issues. It’s a slow burn of a fascinating and painful human story of how so many people got damaged by one person with a psychological disorder. It also...”Read full review »

“The amount of adds all the way through the episodes is so annoying! Takes away from the story being told.
I understand one add but multiple in a row is overkill so for that reason I had to stop listening”

“Tiny morsels of information sandwiched between several minutes of ads, such a shame. I understand that ads are necessary, but this just greedy, over-the-top, and painfully repetitive. I end up just fast-forwarding through them, hoping I don’t miss anything important from the real content, but the...”Read full review »

“I wasn’t sure this would captivate me, but I binged it over just two days. Laura Beale’s detailed reporting layered across superb storytelling storytelling is spot on. This is a haunting, sad, slightly creepy saga where surprises unfold at every turn.”

“Good story - way too many ads in relation to the length of the episodes. I fast forwarded 30 seconds at least 4 times at two points in the first episode alone. Stopped there and won’t be listening to the rest. Too bad because it seems to be a good story”

“The show opened with an advertisement and was summarily closed. Are you joking? The level of entitlement, you’re competing with thousands of shows to hook a listener and you open with an obnoxious ad. Enjoy the one star.”

I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone the stuff Sarah made up and went along with for years. She...”Read full review »

Laura Biel is an amazing investigative journalist. Laura your voice puts me to sleep easily!”

“This podcast seemed promising but ultimately I feel like I wasted my time. I felt for the people that she took advantage of, but I think the use of the word “victim” was a little over played.
I still don’t really understand why Liz (I think that’s the right name, the wife in the couple) was...”Read full review »

“The story itself was well-made and interesting, but why do you cram too many, too long, too annoying commercials into a forty minutes episode, blaring at you without a warning in the middle of the story? That made it hard for me to enjoy it - you can handle this much better plus the topic and...”Read full review »

“Interesting story but seemed to circle around the subject matter in a way that was ultimately unedifying and unsatisfying. Was more about the victims than Sarah herself. I understand why this was but also wondered about the decision to publish without these key pieces of the story.”

“Sarah hurt and fooled some incredibly gullible people, and that’s not ok, but framing a story of an incredibly unwell person sent to jail for stealing a bike as “justice” is a joke. I’m sure Sarah won’t get the help Liz desperately wants for her now that she has a criminal record!”

“This story was compelling and well produced. But, OMG, the ads!!! I have never been so rudely jolted with no warning. No “and now a sponsor break”. Just an obnoxious blast of crappy, frenetic noise coming through my earbuds. Thank god for fast forward.”
