  • Amazingly dark story of Triumph

    Hard to know what to say but well worth the listen. It’s dark, it’s hopeless and infuriating for much of it but in the end, goodness defeats evil.

    I’m just so very happy for TracyRachel, that she did not let evil win. She fought for others and saved herself along the way. She must be an amazing mother and is a very impressive human.

    I hope her days are filled with joy and happiness from here on out.

  • Ok

    The story is interesting, but the production is so-so. I wasn’t a fan of the narrator. She sounds like a dramatic newscaster instead of a down to earth podcast host. There were also more ads than any other podcast I’ve ever listened to. Each episode had a lot of wasted time between ads and repetition from other episodes.
