“As a mother, I kept asking myself, what I would do, who I would be, if I ever went through this experience. And it was a tough question to answer. Tough and painful, and I can’t even IMAGINE what’s it’s been like for the subjects.
This was a rough and heartbreaking listen, but it was...”Read full review »

“I’ll say it again, WOW! Been waiting on the release of this one. While listening to the 1st Ep., I was pretty sure I knew where this was going, but what I wasn’t prepared for was myself, a grown man from S Alabama, driving down the road to work and slapping tears out of my eyes, listening to the...”Read full review »

“I truly enjoyed this show, season 1 and 2. Still true crime but with depth, I could honestly listen to 10 more seasons.”

“Forgiveness is overrated. These fools are so concerned with being pious that they’re willing to help a convicted murderer (of a family member, no less) and someone who is obviously a psychopath out of prison, and into another family member’s house? Give me a break. These people are naive fools.”

“Found this by accident and appreciate the skillful storytelling of the two cases. I don’t completely understand the extent to which the families went but was interested enough to stick with it. Well worth listening.”

“The Letter is a wonderfully told story of grief and forgiveness but additional bonus episodes provide incredible helpful information that will help listeners understand the impact of their own trauma and process of their on grief and forgiveness. Highly recommend giving The Letter a try.”

“While the production quality is great. It’s syrupy, overly emotional and VERY hard to believe that people could be so easily manipulated. “He left Catholicism and became a Mormon! He MUST be good now!” 🤦🏻♀️”

“I am a cousin to the Rasmussen’s… at least, I became one when DeAnn married my Uncle Tom. I was 11 years old when the murder happened, so I don’t remember much. I just remember thinking that I was glad the Rasmussen kids could have a new father and Tom is a great man.
However, this podcast has...”Read full review »

“This is a difficult one because I don’t want to tread on the lived experience of the families.
The podcast poses the question: Does everyone deserve a second chance? If “second chance” means should they be let out of prison the answer is no for these first two seasons. Especially the second. I...”Read full review »

“Firstly, I’ve never listened to a podcast with SO much crying EVERY single episode. Secondly, up until Michael Moore’s death, he was a psychopath who managed to manipulate even his two victims’ families to the point that they offered up their forgiveness to him on a silver platter. The host and...”Read full review »
