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!

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.

I visited Pitcairn in 2003 when the trial was in process. I was sailing on the Picton Castle. It was a bit of a sham since the men were led out of jail to be able to assist with the long boats to get our crew and goods on land. They also participated in the island festivities with our crew. My husband grew up with a romantic notion of Pitcairn. His grandparents had sailed there 7 times on their circumnavigations and they are featured in the island museum. My husband’s middle name is Pitcairn. We stayed with Tom Christian who is Fletcher Christian’s descendant. The islanders are a fun, kind, and generous. But we did learn more of the dark history of rape and assault, although people would downplay it and say that “girls there mature more early”!! Sadly many of the women who were raped had left the island and people didn’t want to talk about it. Thank you for your research and putting together this podcast. I hope it can help the victims heal.
