“I am outraged that a school system & its admin, no matter what decade, could find a teacher having sex with his students perfectly employable. Every name, alive or dead, who allowed this predatory teacher to continue his reign of terror should be made public, For they are just as guilty. My...”Read full review »

“Julie is an absolute professional and a compassionate human being. These women are so courageous and being a woman who came of age in the 70’s I know about this. Different place and situation but same lack of protection. Doug Walker stole their innocence and gaslit them so they felt to blame and...”Read full review »

“What an incredibly powerful podcast! So many podcasts these days are exploitative and non-victim centered, but I think the subject material was handled masterfully. Would absolutely recommend! As a survivor, made me feel seen and really inspired by all these incredible women fighting for change...”Read full review »

“Ads cut in right in the middle of interviews and when they stop the interview does not continue; parts of the podcast seem to be missing. Whoever did the ad placement screwed up and it is next to impossible to listen to this.”

“This series was so sad to hear. I could tell the story really blew up and a sisterhood was formed as a result of this reporting. Episode 8 that featured punch daddy bright me to tears. He is so sweet. Start listening now. Glad to hear all these women have somebody to turn to now”

“I was a victim of teacher sexual abuse at 15 - i reported him (he was sentenced to 5 years, served 20 months) only to also then find out there were other before me. I’ve repressed a lot since then, and this podcast has helped to remind me how strong I was to come forward and to start to...”Read full review »

“Because this was such a great/well done podcast but I had such a hard time getting past Julie’s accent.

“I throughly appreciated this podcast, the investigation, and narration shared. It’s truly bittersweet to see that the women are still facing sexism to this day due to laws made in the past, but the sisterhood formed from the victims was truly heart warming.”

“In the 1980’s I went to Winona school where Mr. Barnes the music teacher was raping boys, then I went to Oakwood Collegiate where Mr. Wishart was raping kids (he was charged and went to jail)
Both were highly respected music directors and very trusted by parents.
Both had cottages where “gifted”...”Read full review »
