The stories covered and the way they’re presented is really great. However, there’s some very oddly timed sound effects that I think are supposed to indicate a break or transition. However, they come up in the middle of someone sharing something deeply sad or profound and it’s like … LALALA! fun...Read full review »

I really object to the way that legitimate Christian teaching and this crazy cult leader are being lumped together in this series. For example using the poem written by Pete Greig in the context of cult and portraying it as the teaching of that particular church is very misleading. TB Joshua is...Read full review »

I enjoyed this investigative series. However, I always find it surprising when people are surprised that even pastors or men of the cloth are capable of evil: everyone is capable of great evil and no one should be placed on a pedestal because of their profession, knowledge or following. Always...Read full review »

Brilliant journalism. I followed this podcast from day one. The 2nd series in particular got my blood boiling. Men abusing power yet again under the pretence doing “good”.

I am one to get bored easily or find the hosts to sound like they are just reading out loud. This podcasts never does that. I really look forward to the next season put out.

I love this podcast. Appreciate the lengths you went to bring the whole story to light. Mike and Matthew were monsters. It is terrible what they done to these young men. Thank you to the men who do contribute to this podcast and share their story.

Amazing series amazing production. The story itself is fascinating, interesting, horifying and disturbing. It’s it’s a Siri that will make you question, Religion believes and the people who use the service of religion for their own gain

I only listened to Season Two so far and about to start Season One. An important story told in a captivating way. My heart breaks for what these people went through. Very good podcast.

I have enjoyed the reconstruction of facts and the narrative approach to this saga. Thank you and well done for working on these no-man’s-responsibility cases.
Bradipollo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/11/24
why do you air it at 3:30 a.m.? other than that I love it!!
jethoth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Aside from the atmospheric music and piano notes that are overdone, this is quality journalism

over-it_123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/24
This investigation was so expansive and well done. I’m so glad I heard it. I can not believe this still goes on. Thank you for the cautions. I feel almost protected by hearing and experiencing this excellent documentary series.

What a sensitive approach to male assault survivors and the power structures that prevent people reporting crime. Fascinating and provocative.
slmsvlrj via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/27/24
The research, narration, pace and power of this podcast series is second to none. Devoured the entire series of 9 episodes in one day. Could not stop listening. Bravo.
ruralprue via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/27/24
Appreciate the professionalism, detail, fairness and focus. Good to see male exploitation being exposed and treated with such concern. Special appreciation for the men who spoke up and told their truth. You matter. You are appreciated.
Bumbsmack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/24
One of the best series I have heard in a long time.
Emzoar via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/26/24
Thank you to everyone involved in making, speaking out and producing these two series. I have been hooked from day 1. They are deeply moving stories and in my opinion brilliantly put together. It’s wonderful to end the silence and power both the Abercrombie guys and TB Joshua had over their...Read full review »

Amazing series, incredible journalism
B Amodu via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/25/24
In an age of increasing corruption of the rich and powerful, this program provides the much needed light for the public to challenge these arrogant and destructive forces. Well researched, documented and professional.
ArloGuthree via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/24
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been gripped by a podcast but I found myself diving head first into this fascinatingly powerful and terrifying story. Very well done by the BBC!
Buds via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
Thank you for this amazing podcast and for the tremendous investigation that went into it. Covering such a huge span of time and distance, the BBC has given us a terrifying, fascinating report which teaches us all so much about cults, their dangers and how well they can be disguised. I loved...Read full review »

I’m very much enjoying this well-made and intelligent series. At episode one I was, frankly, a bit sceptical wondering how those involved - the disciples, the believers who flocked to the church in Lagos - could be so credulous. How could they possibly believe this stuff? But - my - how the...Read full review »

So sad and tragic situation. I hope the story gets out there more and justice is served.

If any of TB’s fans are reading this and actually thought he was a god, Jesus, or performed miracles, please get in touch, I’ve got a bridge for sale.

Really well put together and very compelling
maccamclean via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/18/24
I commend the BBC for this outstanding investigative journalism. Exposing the crimes and atrocities that happened at the Synagogue Church under TB Joshua's leadership must have taken a lot of work! This particular podcast series is incredibly in-depth, eye-opening, and excellently presented....Read full review »

I really like the content of this podcast but finally just had to stop listening (and unfollowed) because the chime that is played throughout is so aggravating.

This story is one the world needs to listen to -

An amazing podcast, a must listen to. Definitely 5 star podcast

A gripping, well-researched story.
Austin_Not_Texas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/24
In the first season Barrett Paul clearly is upset about making some of these choices, but was a consenting adult the entire time. Moreover, Paul seems to think that sex work should be like "Pretty Woman." Paul was well paid and not beaten or given diseases or addictive drugs. That's a...Read full review »

I normally don’t listen to a lot of newsy podcasts but the Disciples caught my attention as it was huge talking point in my coin and I wanted to join the conversation. I used this pod to complete my day of work and the entire season was done sooo well that I didn’t miss a morsel of the...Read full review »

At this time of celebration of Great Britishness and locally sourced ingredients, It is amazing to listen to Becky, Daren and Sharon scrutinizing the Koreans perverts from KPop , the Americans from A&F and the Nigerians bigots when they could literally push their colleagues door or summon...Read full review »

Excellent, compassionate reporting. Thanks!
Emily Manke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/24
There are some very courageous men who spoke up here. Luckily it was to a hotshot pair of investigative journalists who worked so hard to get the story. Well done. I particularly liked the fact that it always moved forward - it didn’t backtrack and repeat stuff all the time like so many podcasts.
