Pretty well balanced buuuut…
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 intimate access for a pretty long time. So much so that we know they are stew together that Renee’s mom made. Yet you had no problem bringing up unsubstantiated rumors to a grieving mother, accusing her of killing her own baby?? Why would you include that on your podcast? And why would you include all that about the mother visiting the gravesite and mourning her child after? Is it tragedy porn? Whatever the reasoning it was completely unnecessary and exploitative of this woman’s tragedy. It’s infuriating that you’d spend so much time explaining the pitfalls of white saviorism and the exploitative nature of nonprofit work only to turn around and exploit the grieving mother for your podcast. Pretty shameful ending to what could have been a very evidence focused podcast.
