A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is an insane, twisted, compelling story. I’ve only listened to two but cannot wait for the rest to drop. A must listen.

Just finished first episode. This podcast is done really well. I’m already obsessed with finding out what happens next. Highly recommended!

“Gilded Rage* is gripping investigative storytelling at its finest. Arriving at an especially timely moment amid disturbing allegations of sexual violence at Cornell, this podcast raises urgent questions about privilege, power & accountability on college campuses. A haunting cold case, compelling reporting and a story that demands to be heard. Powerful, thought-provoking and impossible to forget.

I’m not typically a true crime fan, but this podcast completely won me over. The storytelling - and writing - is smart, compelling, and thoughtful in a way that transcends the genre. It’s not just about the crime - it’s about the people and the complexity, behind the story. Truly excellent storytelling, regardless of what you usually listen to. Highly recommend!
