“Most importantly, this is one family”s story. It is also, though, the best exploration I’ve seen of how and why people turned against Covid vaccines. It richly describes the context in which people make decisions about their health.”

“One of my favorite podcasts. So many complex subjects: family, abuse, Covid, poverty. And love somehow holds it together like baling wire. Kudos to all involved.”

“And second it’s a fiction in more ways than one. This is pure propaganda. Oh, indeed it is well written, but it’s a fictional story based on a pandemic that was manufactured. Yes, people died. It was a mix of deadly hospital protocols and the lack of early treatments. Incredibly, they managed to...”Read full review »

“This is nothing but cheap propaganda. I would say more, but at this point, who cares? You are either a critical thinker who can spot blatant propaganda, or you aren't, in which case what I say won't matter in how you perceive this podcast.”Read full review »

“My husband and I are in the medical field and struggled to understand why people didn't trust the medical system and vaccine during COVId. This was a great listen and I feel more empathetic and understanding. I enjoyed hearing the story from Rachel's perspective.”Read full review »

“Having grown up in LA in the 80’s and 90’s this was like going home with one of the families you meet at school, or church, or walking down the street and being a fly on a wall. The story and story telling are very raw and it’s so much more than polarizing views of a terrible pandemic.”

“Sad disfunctional family. If you have sensitive ears, I’d pass this one up. Rachel can’t get through to many full sentences without using the f word 2 or 3 times. As a writer I’d think her vocabulary would be a little more expanded.”

“I wish I could articulate why I loved this podcast. Rachel used her words in such a way to make me feel I was actually there. It’s not the type of podcast I would generally listen to, but feel so fortunate that I stumbled across it. Thank you.”

“In the first episode, I found the storyline about the impacts of COVID (the division over the vaccine etc.), mildly compelling. Five minutes into the 2nd episode they are talking about a drunk, abusive, racist family. I was very confused…until I saw the correlation she was trying to insinuate....”Read full review »

“Heartbreaking and frustrating retelling about a complicated family and how ignorance and fear in the time of Covid tore them apart. Ignore the reviewers who want to make this political and still are sadly ignorant about science and facts.”

“Only listened to the first episode, this podcast wasn’t able to hold my interest at all. I also found it seemed biased. I would think that credible journalism would really investigate both sides and dig in a bit.”

“All the one star reviews focus on the anti-vax elements and demonstrates that those listeners did not listen to the podcast in its entirety. The show is about the people we love and how our childhoods shape our lives. It’s about a woman’s reckoning with grief, which like all of us, includes...”Read full review »

“I wish the story would share the the folks who got vaccinated and have suffered many ailments, primarily heart conditions.
This is a left wing fight to try and brainwash people into believing that the untested covid vaccines are the only way to fight “COVID”
Please.”
