  • Great Podcast!

    I recently found this podcast & I’m so happy I did! I binged all the episodes so quickly! I love the way they jump right into the cases, and report the cases with in depth research and great compassion! It’s so wonderful that many of the cases highlighted aren’t that well known, so I appreciate that these cases are getting the attention they deserve! Great care is taken to really humanize the victims, rather than sensationalize them. Fantastic podcast! Keep up the great work!

  • TC Podcast with compassion

    The host of Sins and Survivors are incredibly talented at story telling. However what really makes this podcast even more compelling is how much they care about the victims and the victims families. This is one of my favorites. 10/10!

  • Why does every podcast need a little schtick?

    I tried two episodes and immediately hated the trite “I’m the only John in the room” intro. Then I gave up when I heard “happens too often to people of color” for the millionth time.
