“I’m not into true crime but on a record, I gave this a listen. The story is incredible, and tragic; it engaged me to the point where I was watching hours of video about it. The podcast did a good job of exploring all the details, however, the transition from reporting on the vlog to the arrests...”Read full review »

“I wasn’t 100% sure within the first two episodes. I did feel it did have a slow start, and I had to fast forward through all the clips of Ruby and her YouTube videos. in the beginning, I could care less of what she did with her kids. It was a little boring. But halfway through is when my...”Read full review »

“The story is interesting but the podcast is repetitive and full of speculation. The opinions are from people who watched YouTube videos or “experts” who weren’t actually involved with the case. Probably could have told the story really well in 3 episodes but dragging it out made it a bit rubbish”

“Well I learn a lot with this podcast I can’t believe I listen this in one shot 😱
I mean I know what Ruby did was really wrong
But Jody hurt a lot of people with a fake license
But those you tube channels must be banned and just let the kids be kids .”

Didn’t watch the actual show, so I’m enjoying the sound bites from the YouTube channel, the subscribers who explain the shows shift and how RF changed before their eyes after the intro...”Read full review »

“I think this podcast is painfully surface level. Completely skates over the Mormon Cover up, the fact that Jodi's abuse of her niece was directly centered around anti LGBTQ bigotry, doesn't address that religious fanaticism is why this case happened.
They also completely let Kevin off...”Read full review »

“Thank you for sharing a lot of the background info on the participants of this story - far more than what was made public on national news. Those children may never overcome the trauma they experienced; they were never allowed to be “typical children.” I grew up in a large family with parents who...”Read full review »

“I binged this free on Apple Podcasts.
I loved this story and couldn’t stop listening. It started telling the story from the beginning and I like that. I don’t like stories complex like this that go back and fourth from present day to past back to present.”

“I think most reviews are either Utahan Mormons or disgruntled wonder+ subscribers. It’s overall a decent review of the facts as they happened, with an eye toward the social media phenomenon that swirled around this case.
My one point off is for some hand waving toward the end to Ruby herself by...”Read full review »

“Very informative and well done. It seems the negative ratings are form folks of a certain religion or from a certain region as well as people who cannot imagine paying less than it costs to get Starbucks in order to listen to something several human beings worked hard on. Ridiculous. It’s good....”Read full review »

“This is a fascinating story to do a deep dive into but this podcast was really disappointing. It is not well-structured (it’s kind of set up chronologically?

“Wondery true crime has fallen off hard lately!

Here, Chad Franke’s lawyer keeps trying to push a narrative that...”Read full review »
