For having no podcasting experience, Carole does a great job! Compelling storytelling. It’s Dirty John meets Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Right up my ally. I also like the music so I am not sure what people are complaining about. Peace and love to Gail’s family. May her story be a cautionary tale to women...Read full review »

The story is told by the girlfriends and sister of the victim.

I’ve never heard so many adds jammed into a 30 min podcast episode, there’s an insane amount of adds, actually it’s really the same couple adds played an insane amount of times. It feels like theres more add time than actual podcast time and it really takes away from the story.

This was a very interesting podcast. My heart is broken for Gail and her family. I have a difficult time with the thought that the host, Carole, refused to testify to the grand jury. She only testified at trial because she was forced. Later, she said, “We got him!” Who is “we”? Now, she is making...Read full review »

I really appreciate that the victims were a huge part of this podcast. So often it’s the killer that gets all the attention and the victims really do deserve so much more.

A great podcast about a group of women who encounter the same abusive man. Also revealing the sad truth that women will push their sense of good judgement aside for security. But friendship, love and persistence gets results in the end. It was thoughtful and informative. Binge worthy.

Hello there ladies. I really love this podcast, your 6 months momentary laps in judgement is forgiving, this narrative Bob kept up back then I do remember this so clearly, ladies do what you can to keep this BOB guy in jail as long as you can, I followed that court case really closely, and I had...Read full review »

Sudden blasting of repetitive volume boosted advertising damaging to headphone wearers! Repetitive dialogue ad nausea
iphonehassle via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 04/19/24
The ads are unbearably annoying and distasteful
Flora F via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 04/17/24
Great story involving domestic violence, and sisterhood- loved the ladies. Music wasn’t bad at all I don’t know why so many hated it. Also, people curse, it wasn’t excessive. Bobs a douche!
Caitmaureen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/24
I enjoy the story and like the host. There are an insane amount of ads packed into the 30 minute episodes and the intro music is god awful. RIP Gail.
yendnskaiheb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/24
It was a well produced podcast, it discussed how prevalent femecide is, it honored Gail and many more women. The last 11 minutes of the podcast had me crying!! Very powerful.
DulceJ2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/24
I’ve listened to alllll the true crime podcasts, this is the best. Such a well-told, well edited story. The language wasn’t bad at all. You will feel like you’re a member of the girlfriends!
Cassleav via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/24
Highly recommend! Kept my attention the whole time.
jenniferwbpar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/24
Loved this. I couldn’t stop listening. I feel such a kinship with the women and loved getting to know Gail. I was in tears at the end. I feel close to all the women in this podcast.

The ending was exceptional. I was moved to tears: & it fundamentally changed me for the better. Us women deserve better. Thank you to everyone who worked on this important piece of work that brings awareness to not only the tragic murder of Gail Katz but the rampant & widespread violence...Read full review »

Story interesting terrible music made it almost unlistenable had to fast foward
Nimi6666666 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/24
The story was interesting. It held my attention. I was worried about the language but it wasn’t as bad as I feared. I agree though that the music really is awful. Looking forward to season 2.
nanaofktkkm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/24
I do agree agree with others the music was cringe worthy and hopefully they read the reviews and realize that, but otherwise, I thought this was extremely well done in part because the Subject matter and subjects themselves were so compelling, but putting it together in a way that keeps you...Read full review »

It took me a few go’s to start this podcast - Wow am I glad I persisted! One of the best I’ve listened to in a while! The last 2 episodes, incredibly emotional. You won’t regret it!
erinygarza via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/30/24
This is a great podcast and a very important story all women need to hear. I agree with others, the music is distracting and annoying but it was worth it to hear the story.
Mallerinaballerina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/24
I heard a lot of buzz about The Girlfriends before I dove into this podcast and it not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. The Girlfriends was unlike any true crime I’ve listened to and handled a story about DV with nuance, sensitivity and care. What a triumph. I’m very excited to see...Read full review »

It’s extremely difficult to take a person seriously whose life goal is to find a “Jewish doctor”. Ew. every time she says “Jewish doctor” the ick mounts. i do, however, think the production piece is solid. I enjoyed the music and sound effects.
bridgetfojut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
there’s so many spoils a really interesting story
Jajajahahah via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/24
Alayne is an incredible storyteller. She is well-spoken. Her voice is so expressive and calming. My heart just breaks for her and her family.
Tessathekido via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
I didn’t finish it. There is a story here, but it is so overproduced with music, sound effects, interludes, previews and recaps (and way too many ads if you don’t buy a subscription). I believe the storyteller would have been better off just reading her story like an Audible book. It would...Read full review »

Listened to most of this podcast during a single day. I just couldn’t wait to hear what was next. I’m not normally into crime podcasts but there was something so relatable to the women in Las Vegas whose sociable speculation uncovered a real crime.
minnyc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/24
Loved ever bit of it. So well done. So well produced. Brava! Sound track is brilliant. I listened to it twice, second time being several months later when I couldn’t find a good new one to listen to- this was a sure fire. Listened to it the second time all the way thru.
jil hipsley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/24
Absolutely loved this podcast. I felt like one of the girlfriends! I greatly enjoyed catching up on Yiddish expressions and the whole Jewish New Yorker vibe – loved it, can’t wait for season 2.
Lou222 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/22/24
I had to fast forward through the music and just try and ignore the music behind the dialogue.
Leal423 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/24
Great story but the music is insanely annoying and too many commercials
shgiuerg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/24
In weird annoying voices.
4567erp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/24
Really interesting and gripping podcast. RIP Gail. As everyone else is saying far too many adverts, made it difficult to listen to if you didn’t want to be having to get your phone out every few minutes to skip 3 minutes.
JessSh89 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/18/24
This story was gripping and left me always wanting more, but more importantly the women coming together to tell this story and introduce us to Gail was so lovely. The emotional connection and sense of community contextualized Gail’s story. This is one of my favorite podcasts I’ve listened to...Read full review »

Great podcast! A must listen for true crime addicts.
MeThumb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/24
Heartbreaking & tragic true story of a missing dead wife of a prominent jewish Dr. The music used is cringeworthy! Listening to Alayn tell her story & experiences is captivating to hear. She’s a great storyteller. Carol & girlfriends were annoying.
Bjunebug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
I thought this podcast was very engaging. I did not mind the music as other commenters mentioned. Guess it’s personal taste.
Grannyfranz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/24
The podcast, investigative interviews and narration were great. I understand having ads to generate $$ for the podcast but that was really overkill. An ad every few minutes is seriously ridiculous and really takes away from the experience of listening to the podcast.
Maria Manz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/12/24
The story as told through the victim’s sister is well done but I found the ‘girlfriends’ sensationalism weird and cringey- not to mention terrible music choices that also add to the ‘cringeness’.
Sandy8675 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/24
Interesting content but hate the music and singing. Very annoying! Don’t care what happened, can’t stand it anymore to keep listening.
Infraspinatus24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/24
Love the girls!!! They did so good
posseh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/24
Wow
This is the best podcast I’ve heard in years. Every episode is better than the one before. What a story.
sabrinachmielowiec via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
I loved it and was gripped! Sobbed at the last episode as was warned but agree with the excessive ads, it was annoying being interrupted for so long!!
lizzie0610 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/06/24
Carole did a great job on this series. I look forward to seeing more from her.
Murdersluth via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/05/24
This was a very well done and timely podcast. You will not regret listening.
angela777 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
Very interesting story, odd choice in background music tho
KCI CC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
Well produced and entertaining podcast. Ignore the whiners complaining about the ads and length of intros etc. I don’t understand how podcast listeners still don’t understand that to produce podcasts, advertisers /subscribers are needed- nothing is free people! I binged listened over a few days.
SunshineAnd Lolipops via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/01/24
Given that whoever is supplying the ads seemed to have too few advertisers when I listened, it meant hearing the same ads 4 times with every episode. This is ridiculous. It’s testament to the show’s content that I persevered, but I won’t ever listen to something with so many ads ever again....Read full review »

This was very well done. I couldn’t stop listening. So glad more is being done to shed light on domestic violence. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
