WHEN DATING HURTS - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Bill channels his loss into something to help spread awareness about intimate partner abuse. It's important to talk about these things openly. It's really amazing to know how many others have the same experiences but are too embarrassed to tell family/friends. I'm pretty sure this podcast will save lives.

I listen to a lot of podcasts on a variety of topics and some very similar to this (IPV, survival stories, major life events that impact people, etc) and…this host, Bill, is just 🤯 he often interrupts, makes random comments that aren’t very astute, rarely asks thoughtful follow up questions- primarily asks obvious questions or things that honestly sound like he wasn’t listening well- and comes across as a semi- out of touch older guy who isn’t “hip” to all the things happening in young people’s lives. I will also say he sounds like a very kind, compassionate, and dedicated person who lost his daughter to IPV and I have a ton of empathy and compassion for him in that regard. It seems like most of his guests see that in him and he must make them feel very comfortable and respected in order for them to open up the way that they do. So he has a lot of strengths! And I respect his commitment to this cause very much. But unfortunately, a committed and loving, well meaning person does not necessarily make a great podcast host. I say this with kindness and genuine constructive criticism- I hope that Bill hires a podcast coach (I’m sure they exist nowadays!) and can get better at some of these skills because this topic is so important and relevant. Until then, you’ve been properly warned/prepped for his “style” of interviewing 🫠

Late to the party but this podcast is great. It’s also needed! DV is a poison that runs so deep within our society and it’s about time we all start talking about it. However, major trigger warning for those who have trouble listening to people describe acts of abuse and to those who believe abortion IS murder. I started with Josephine’s story and it was so very hard to listen too.

Bill, thank you for the platform you provide for survivors, thrivers, and the folks who have a hand in navigating these situations, from counselors to detectives.

It’s always heartening to me when someone has the strength to take the worst moment in their life and tsurn it into something powerful that affects change for the better.

I am certain your daughter, who was taken way too soon, is beaming with pride and is there with you every step.

Your voice, and the voices of those you share, give me so much hope.

Please get a new podcast Host, It’s wonderful that he’s trying to share these stories to help others but it’s really a disservice when he makes misogynistic comments. He’s gone through a lot and obviously his heart is in the right place, but Bill needs some type of unconscious bias training etc. He interrupts the women on this podcast often with just completely unnecessary comments that come off as insensitive and disrespectful to the women who are putting themselves in such a vulnerable position of sharing their story.

I want to listen to more of these episodes but Bill’s voice is so loud and the guests are barely audible. Also, Bill, I feel it would be beneficial if you would not add your “ right, yes, ok,” and extra comments. It makes the listener lose the track of the speaker. I want you to succeed so please work on the audio discrepancies.
