Extraordinary storytelling

Spesh7131/18/2026

Both seasons knock it out of the park. The production is top-notch—from the sound, to the writing and editing, to the music, and beyond. Mark Horgan’s empathy shines through. A million stars. Highly recommend.

Incredible

I used to work with survivors of sexual assault. Most never get Justice. Regardless, if these survivors never get to see Gibney go to jail for his crimes, they will at least know that he has been exposed, and on an international level. Their willingness to participate in this project, will educate people about predatory pedophiles, and possibly prevent others from being victims. Applause!

Powerful

This is a disturbing story I was not familiar with. I give praise to those who carried through with this podcast and gave all of these victims a voice. It is a hard story to here but incredibly important.
