- Great content, bad audio on Apple
I absolutely loved this podcast. It was informative and harrowing at times. However, after the first two episodes, I had to switch to Spotify, as the audio would skip entire sections.

Why in the world are so many women so willing to risk the health of themselves, their children and others to follow a cult? They literally risk everything. Medical science has brought us out of the dark ages. God, the gullibility and stupidity makes me furious.
Apple Podcasts5#jackienancyjackUnited States15 days ago - Horrific
This story is absolutely shocking. Emily and Yolanda are clearly irresponsible and ignorant, with devastating effects for far too many children and mothers. I was most disgusted by the cavalier way they dismiss the deaths of babies. Their continued platform is dangerous.
Apple Podcasts5WestCoastNastyWomanUnited States15 days ago - A fantastic podcast
Informative and well researched. Such an eye opener on GR. I thought wow Australia really is under the iron fist and then I get to the episode where she’s here in Canada doing the same. It certainly puts a perspective on so many things.

This was one of the most heartbreaking and important podcasts I’ve ever listened to. As someone who works with children with disabilities the impact of not proving emergency care to babies that are struggling to breathe is diabolical. Not just risking the babies life but also risking long term developmental delays and cognitive impacts moving forward.
