Customer Reviews
Adnon’s Story & Beau Bergdahl story (Seasons 1 & 2)
Admin’s story was ok but not compelling. The season ended abruptly without “the rest of the story”.
Season 2 about Beau Bergdahl was excellent, which is why I’m giving the podcast 5 Stars. The history of Bergdahl was informative, balanced, and provided much information on a story that I always found confusing.

Compelling coverage with highly impactful interviews
Clearly, well researched, season four is quite heartbreaking and infuriating. People are capable of some very terrible things. It’s horrifying to me that more people have not been held responsible within the United States for the treatment of people that were in their care & that we got away with violating the Geneva conventions to such a great extent.
Thank you
The subject matter here told from more than just the perspective of the “justice” system hits me very hard. I can hardly listen sometimes bc it’s emotionally overwhelming. like someone finally told MY story. Finally cared to know what happened, and how horrific it got, and how horrific it stayed once a decision about me had been made. These consequences are forever; stolen lives and stolen voices. Thank you for being my voice. 🫡🖤❤️🩹
