“I appreciated the insight and storytelling of both seasons thus far. Melissa has a compassionate voice for women who are victims of injustice and violence. Both Sandy Beal’s and Libby Caswell’s stories were heartbreaking to hear, but I hope the information in them will help someone listening to...”Read full review »

“George Floyd died bc of the fentanyl in his system. He also held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach during an armed robbery. Since you cover “violence against women” maybe cover that story”

“I realize ads pay for the podcast but this was crazy. The ad times add up to longer than the post cast time.
Good podcast, kept my attention and wanting to get to next episode.”

“Before listening to any podcast I start by reading the comments. These say everything I needed to know: way too many ads. Know that by doing this you only keep potential listeners away”

“If you enjoy listening to ads this is for you.
The story was okay. This victim was obviously murdered by her boyfriend and she never wanted help. Not much more to it, sad.”

“Good podcast, HOWEVER, Xavier is not pronounced “Ex-avier”. There are no words that start with ”x” that are pronounced “ex”. Hearing this beautiful name pronounced incorrectly is like nails having nails dragged down a chalkboard.”

“The ads are insane with this podcast. I haven’t encountered too many others with this amount of ads. It’s 2-3 minutes at the beginning, middle, and end, and most episodes in the first season were less than an hour! That’s ridiculous. Just hitting the skip button anyway. I wanted to listen through...”Read full review »

“While I have compassion for Libby and her family, she was an addict and in a high risk situation that even when offered help, she would not accept or change. Meth is an epidemic in MO and her story is likely one of many. I wasn’t sure if this was to call out police, the drug epidemic or the...”Read full review »

“The show is good, once it gets started and in between ads. Each episode has 7 minutes of ads and repetitive content at the beginning. And then stops for long ads several times. I understand sponsors are needed but it’s excessive and distracting.”

“Tragic story that plays out too often in our society. However, it was very difficult to stay focused because of the ridiculous amount of ads before, in the middle, at the end of each episode. By the third episode, I just wants it to end so I wouldn’t have to listen to ads.”

That doesn’t mean she deserved to die but it did increase the likelihood she would die. We all...”Read full review »
