"It doesn't hurt to take a critical look at the books that hold value in our society. Sociology is a really complicated subject and boiling it down to a few statistics in a book doesn't always work, even when it's neatly packaged. The show is funny in addition to educational, which is my favorite kind of podcast." —Amazon customer

"Sure took me back to the old days ... We didn't necessarily even see it at the time because it's how things were: misogyny, classism, racism, lack of regard or understanding of mental health issues, etc. I was 18 in 1985. No one in power thought they were the 'bad guy' by operating in these 'good ol' boys' ways, but the truth suffered. The truth matters, and we'll probably never know it now." —Jerri, Audible listener

"Thank you, Julia, for making this happen. There is such a void in communication between the ages. This is fantastic! The sharing of knowledge, experiences, and advice is wonderful. AND the humor, oh the humor! Please keep doing this. You’re bringing so much joy to so many of us right now." —Amazon customer

"Though I am biased in my love for Jo Firestone, this is truly an excellent mystery that is both fun to listen to and think about after. Also buy the book!" —Taylor, Audible listener

"As a nurse of 40+ years, I have seen narcotic security evolve from simple keyed cabinets (with 1 key) to computer controlled ‘cabinets,’ which required your fingerprint and/or a code to enter. It is possible to still steal some amount of drugs BUT, in my experience, most people are caught in short order because there is a trail ... The institution has serious issues if that took 5 months. I love the way you give all the ‘perspectives.’" —MBC, Audible listener

"Hats off to NHPR. They continue to do great work, even when it’s hard. My heart goes out to all of the women who came forward, and even more to the women who couldn’t. They all have their reasons." —Jeanne, Audible listener

"Brilliant. Very well put together combination of facts, research, interpretation, and commentary. Somehow calming to understand how we got to this awful place." —Amazon customer

"This podcast is super smart, but fun! Fascinating stories, great hosts. Can't wait for the next episode." —Tricia, Audible listener

"I really thought this was going to be over-hyped until I actually listened to the episodes! Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Alyssa M., but DAMN this book has me HOOKED! It's so perfectly current and spicy and hilarious. Literally applauded after I was finished." —Kaila, Audible listener

"The voice acting was excellent, the story had some great twists and turns. One minute you are rooting for a character, the next you start to hate them, and then back around again." —Spawn, Audible listener
