The care with which Tonya Mosley tells this story is what podcasts need. I’m not sure it’s fair to characterize this season as “true crime”— it feels so much deeper than that. Regardless, I’ve been a podcast junkie for years and constantly crave stories told by people who are most affected by...Read full review »

It's a universal story of American struggle that we rarely hear with nuance and grace. This podcast is really well done and the family members are so brave to share personal stories that hard to talk about!Read full review »

This is a well produced podcast, and beautifully told story about loss, family secrets, trauma, and the search for truth. Some reviewers have suggested that this podcast doesn’t do Anita justice but I can’t disagree more - this is a story about Anita’s turbulent life and mysterious death but it’s...Read full review »

Being a Detroit native, made this series so relatable! I love that the story was presented with so much respect and care and in a non-judgemental way. My heart aches for Anita and her son. So much tragedy in their lives.

Tonya Mosley is one of my favorite journalists. I love how she weaves in relevant cultural references and humor while telling serious stories. Her voice, writing and interview skills are top-notch. My 20+ year bestie is originally from Detroit. I have only been there once, but I am intrigued by...Read full review »

A very well made podcast with a moving story, which is beautifully told by host Tonya Mosley. Her perspective as the storyteller is a truly fascinating one— as she is both a part of the story and apart from the story. I applaud how she is able to face some hard truths and share her vulnerability,...Read full review »

This is much more than true crime. A fascinating story told by a talented storyteller.

I am finally listening to this podcast. I’m only on the first episode but I believe the host will take great care in how she reports on the life of her sister. I gasped when Ms. Tonya shared that the city buried her sister without notifying the family. Heartbreaking. I’m looking forward to...Read full review »

This show resonates so strongly with me. I look forward to each episode each week. Thank you Tonya for producing such an important and engaging show.
Stephyweds via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/24
For this to be a podcast about Tonya’s missing sister it sure doesn’t seem to be…each episode has somehow ended up being about Tonya and her life. I get they are sisters but we are atleast 5 episodes in and it’s all about Tonya and her broken home creating father. No closer to knowing what...Read full review »

Listening to this podcast I can tell that Tonya Mosley is an impressive journalist. She has a wonderful way with words and paints a vivid picture. Although the subject matter is difficult, Tonya displays the humanity of all those involved and tells the story with respect.
Nickled N. Dimed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/24
Very interesting and well done. Finding family and working on the puzzle of what has happened is challenging but rewarding. My family has similar gaps and helped me to appreciate what Ms. Mosley and others close to Anita have done.
Georgiagirl924 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/24
Wow
Such an outstanding journalist!! More power to you for covering your sisters story. To think that your “imaginary sister” was your real sister‼️ She was definitely communicating with you 🥲🤍

the podcast wont play and has no indication about subscription or anything like that to download. I’ve never seen an issue like this, not sure why some people can play it and others can’t. would’ve loved to hear this one.

I Just finished the Family Ties episode and I feel so seen and heard. Thank you for having Gerald on. He asked Tonya questions that I needed to unpack for myself. I feel the same relief knowing that both my bio-father and step father have passed on. This podcast inspires growth thank you.

A gifted journalist and story teller.

A beautiful, heartful, stirring tapestry of stories and experiences. The real medicine our culture (including white folks in the psychedelic sphere of which I am one) needs right now. Thank you for your rich storytelling, vulnerability and honesty. I am already re-listening to episodes.
AEG7937 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
I really enjoyed the episodes on psychedelics. Tonya is s great storyteller, but her reporting is also informative snd well balanced. Highly recommend.

TBT is exactly what I need in my life right now. I see myself listening to each episode again and again. Season 1 episode “Family Ties” inspired me to write this review. I didn’t know other people were having this conversation. Even though I talk about this with my therapist and she assures me...Read full review »

Listening to Truth Be Told feels like sitting down with Tonya and a glass of wine for a great conversation. She says things other people aren’t saying and is telling beautiful, important stories that make you feel welcome to her very cool club. Listen to her. Very carefully.
mspassell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/23
I only just learned about #TBT from a promo in a Fresh Air podcast — and I couldn’t be more grateful and elated. TBT is all things Black turbo/charged, led by the most brilliant, insightful, well-read and down-home voices from U.S. Blackness far and wide. Brava, Mz. Mosley! I am seriously...Read full review »

Having been fat myself and now fit for 15 years… any fat person saying it’s ok is lying. I am happy riding bikes, rowing, hiking, looking amazing in clothes. I have curves not knew replacements or diabetes.
AK Ajijic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/23
So many topics covered that are usually unspoken in the black community! Who knew that I can feel seen and heard through a podcast! Such a blessing! Can’t wait for the next season to start! Thanks, Tonya and all of the well informed guest you have on the show.

I stumbled onto your PODCAST and the conversation was reinvigorating and inspiring A black women in search of a truthful community of mindful black women and men of soulful discovery.

I am so glad apple decided to spotlight this podcast otherwise I don’t think I’d ever have heard of it and now it is one of my favorites. I love Tonya Mosely’s voice and her thoughtful selection of questions and guests.
Moni101010 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/22
As a guy this episode almost had me crying on the job site. I have a wife, sisters and nieces that this ruling would affect. To all my sisters out there I may not be able to fully understand what this ruling on Roe means but I’m in the fight with you.

The first episode I listened to was Perseverance and I’m heartbroken for Ayanna. My deepest sympathies for the loss of young Alajawan.
reddbul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/22
TBT is one of my favorites! I've loved it for years, but love it even more now under Tanya's independent ownership. The conversations can be tough to hear, but are more than necessary to have. The thoughtfulness and care Tanya, her team and guests give to these discussions are commendable...Read full review »
