PRETEND - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Found Pretend by recommendation of a Reddit thread and started with season 18. Javier really takes you on a ride with him, I didn’t want to get off! He does his due diligence to fact check and present multiple sides of a story. I also appreciate that his story telling actually tells the story instead of veering off sidebars or gimmicks. Binged 18 over the course of 24 hours, only took time off to work and sleep. Ha! Thanks, Javier!

This is jaw dropping and being uncovered in real time. Javier is an incredible investigative journalist, and this story needs to be shared in hopes that the subject of this season, LaDonna Humphrey, will finally be stopped and held accountable for her stalking and terrorization of so many -most of which are vulnerable women and women who were already victimized.

I just found this podcast and have binged season 18. LaDonna is a horror show, and I hope karma/the legal system is coming her way. Javier’s reporting is so clear and empathetic, especially when interviewing the woman from Oasis (absolutely heartbreaking and horrifying). His storytelling is super compelling. Immediate fan! Excited to go back and listen to the other seasons!

this is one of my favorite podcasts. javier is engaging, witty and his journalism exudes integrity. it’s clear he knows the subjects and the stories and keeps me wanting more.
