  • Thank you

    Took me back to a day I never thought I would think about again, brought up feelings I had long since buried. I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear this. Very well done and as a survivor of this I can say it portrays that day perfectly. Thank you for doing this and I’m looking forward to hearing the rest

  • Courageous storytelling!

    What courage it took for the creator to not only revisit the traumatic events of a day that forever changed so many lives, but then, to create this podcast that will not only help with the story teller’s healing, but for the healing of many others. I just finished episode 3 and was crying and feeling such grief for what happened that day and all the other horrible shootings that have taken place since then, beginning with Columbine, which also happened in Colorado. This generation and those af... more

    The podcast is great but the idea behind it even better. How does an experience like this affect people and why aren’t we talking about it?

  • Super Intense

    This podcast is definitely top notch quality, easy to become engulfed in, and a close up shot of lots of trauma. Be warned, this isn’t for those easily triggered by school shootings and PTSD.

  • Compelling story, told in a unique and innovative way!

    This podcast tells such an important story about school shootings that (sadly) is so relevant to all Americans. It offers fascinating insights into life in a small mountain town and does a great job of building this setting as well as developing the characters. The audio play format is a really interesting and creative way to tell the story and helps bring it all to life. Looking forward to hearing how the rest unfolds!

    Rarely have I heard such captivating, innovative, and heartfelt storytelling. A masterfully balanced tale of the ups and (sometimes steep) downs of life. Part mystery, part memoir, part story of resilience, this audio triumph is a podcast you won’t soon forget.

  • Haunting

    I was a student at the high school the shooting in this story is based off of, and I still remember that day. Listening to this was a very visceral experience, and for all the right reasons. The sound editing in episode three is absolutely superb. The scenes with the shooter made me super uncomfortable, and that's exactly what they're supposed to do. When you have a medium (like a podcast) where you only have your ears and your imagination to rely on to set the scene, you have to really get it r... more
