“This series about Renee Bach is enthralling and well told. I really appreciated the attempts to provide a balanced view, instead of just witch hunting the most obnoxious person.”

“The story and storytelling is great. The ads are out of control. I went on a 7 minute ride and there were commercials over a minute long in the 7 minutes. That’s too much. I want to finish the story but I can’t with all the ads. At least put them at the beginning or end.”

“In episode 4, they talk about how “blood transfusions we’re incredibly risky procedure” is only true if they are not screened correctly (type and screen blood test) and/or administered by a non-medical traded person (Renee).
I do believe this podcast is out of the US, where blood transfusions...”Read full review »

“This was an eye opening podcast. It made me really think about US missionary efforts and how well trained and educated you need to be for this type of work. I learned a lot and appreciated that they were really trying to get to the truth.”

“Thorough research, and very professionally put together. I felt like this story had so many different, complicated aspects to it and you nailed the delivery in every way: keeping the focus on Uganda, honesty, and the order / organization of the way you told the story was so on-point. I learned a...”Read full review »

“I appreciated the emphasis this podcast had on the victims. I wanted to like this podcast and I did for most of it. I was really into it up until the last 20 or 30 mins of the last episode to be honest. I mean the narrator doesn’t have the guts to confront Renee, someone they had pretty...”Read full review »

“I think this podcast brought up a general problem in missions - white saviourism, personal glory, exaggerating stories for financial gain, etc. But I think putting the spotlight on Renee Bach as some kind of monster is unfair. The producers/journalists in this podcast said many times that they...”Read full review »

“No White Saviors is an incredibly biased movement based on a founder who thrives in bitterness and arrogance. Is Rene a model for anything? No! Flee from her ways! Is she a criminal? Maybe. But this podcast does not give a balanced view. Hearsay. Opinions.”

It was also ironic to me that some of the main ideas that the show confronts, like white...”Read full review »

“If the hosts could leave out their liberal ideology & disdain for Chritianity, this podcast would definitely be 5 stars, but just like CNN & MSNBC, they just cant help themselves. I hope next time it’ll be all facts & no propaganda.”

“I think the story was compelling enough without the narrators needing to sound so biased.
Phrases like “ in other words” where the narrator then rewords someone’s quote … just unnecessary.
Definitely a story that needed to be told.”

“This could have been a good story. But it’s hard to take the reporters seriously. They have to try to weave in racism at every opportunity, even with things that are unrelated to the story. They are not unbiased so I find it hard to believe that they could report this story unbiased. I would...”Read full review »

There did seem to be a bias against white people and their assistance but there’s also need for...”Read full review »

“I Can’t get past the voice and tone of the narrator. You can almost predict the highs and lows in her tone and add the vocal fry at the end of her sentences. It’s distracting and it takes away from the story. I wanted to like this podcast but unfortunately I wasn’t able to.”

“Narrator: The female narrating speaks like, what I like to call, the modern day valley girl. It’s distracting and annoying. Ex: Ugaandaaa doown, ooveer, etc. Everything is drawn out and there is a small vocal fry. When listening to a podcast, this was a deal breaker.

“Great reporting, and a multi-faceted look into how the white savior complex is enabled.
I thought the female narrator’s voice was not appropriate for covering a subject like this...this subject requires a bit more gravity. Instead it sounded like a valley girl reading a gossip column.”
