The Pitcairn Trials

Ok this is such a typical British interpretation and frankly I don’t know which is worse, the crimes of Pitcairn, the shortsighted colonial point of view, or the awfully disgusting commercials aimed at it’s audience. It’s all so imperialist and barfy

Thank you for telling the true stories of the Pitcairn abuses of children, especially young girls. I had no idea of the trial and the history of the small island community beyond the film version about the Mutiny on the Bounty, which seemed romantic, and yet this is how the culture borne out of that historical era ended up. Thank you especially for allowing Glenda to tell her story, bless her. What a heroine she is for standing up and telling the truth of what happened to her, which also was done to others. One of the best podcasts I have ever listened to!

It is highly important that such truths as this are documented & told because we should never, ever forget that small unchecked communities can be the most dangerous places on our planet.

I love everything about this podcast. It’s haunting to think about the generations of abuse continuing on Pitcairn, from father to son, dating all the way back to its settlement. The storytelling is incredible, the little sound effects are effective without being overbearing, and the research that went into it is comprehensive. Highly recommended.

Thank you for telling this very sensitive story. And especially thank you to Glinda for sharing her story so openly and being so generous with her time and honesty. ♥️
