  • Outstanding

    This podcast, whilst an extremely hard topic, is so well done and I left each episode remembering the victims names and not the guilty party, the empathy and dignity shown to the victims and their families is paramount in this podcast, you can tell Clare has a lot of knowledge on domestic violence and the annihilators - just over 25 years ago I could have so easily been one of these women but luckily someone helped me and I’m here - I highly recommend this podcast.

  • Fascinating, Informative, Respectful and Empathetic

    Claire hits a perfect balance with these podcasts of telling harrowing and devastating stories in a non-sensationalised way from the victim perspective. As a parent of two young girls they are very difficult to listen to at times but they are gripping and important. I look forward to the releases each week! Keep up the great work.

I’m one of the lucky ones to have found a loving and healthy relationship, which makes me empathise strongly with all of the stories I hear.

    Clare, your story telling of all these crimes comes across with empathy, understanding and such a passion to raise awareness of such incidents in the hope that we all re... more
