Need season two tout suite!

The compassion, care, and excellent writing all contribute to making this podcast one of the best. I appreciate the length of the episodes (unlike other reviewers who found it too long) after finding other shorter podcasts on similar topics only focused on the salacious details instead of bringing in the people affected.

I was interested in listening to this new series. However like several others the the host speaks a little to fast to get all of the information at times.

This is an excellent, important, heartbreaking podcast.

It’s kind of insulting to think that people don’t feel for families of those who are missing. How many of these grief sessions must we share to be considered caring enough? As part of a program that discusses the disappearance of someone, this is fine, but an hour devoted strictly to this kind of sharing, what is to be gained? The only lesson from the story of Bung is to not (sadly) allow children to walk to school.

This is one of the more amazing podcasts I’ve ever heard. It gets add the real experiences of people who are trying to find someone they love who is missing but who gets caught in between. The conversations are insightful and candid. I find it very moving and appreciate the vulnerability of all who participated.

I came here from Casefile which I love. This podcast is Agony Aunt. Relatives repeating for over an hour about their losses. Repeat repeat. No real info on what really happened. This is more like therapy for people who have lost loved ones who were never found. I respect what you are doing but it’s not being targeted to the right audience. Good luck

I like the mission behind this podcast, and because I am a huge fan of Casefile I gave it a try. I found it to be a very depressing way to spend my free time, even though I feel so much for these families. Also, it’s simply too long. Needs some good editing. For families who have had someone go missing, perhaps this podcast could provide some support. Just not for me.

I was really looking forward to this podcast but honestly it’s just way too long for me. The information and care that has been given to each episode is amazing but I feel that information is repeated multiple times. I do not think these need to be over an hour in length.

I love this podcast, so thoughtful and eye opening. I admire the Strength of the families and feels me with so much hope. The narrator is caring and empathetic. I am hooked

Do you really have knowledge about Scientology? Or are you truly afraid to share your experiences? I can’t tell & so far your: ’We’re a couple of good ole boys! See, Slap me on m’back!! act is confusing the processing.

I love the beginnings of all the episodes but when the q&a starts I get bored fast. Would rather hear more about the stories like ic Coldcase.

Life hurts when you lose your loves. Not knowing where a loved one is has to be the scariest thing you can experience. I will send love and prayers for you that you find out about your son. Bless both your sons.

I was a bit skeptical about listening to this podcast because of the ambiguity of the subject matter (missing persons who haven’t been found), but what I got was a deeply felt listening experience about empathy and compassion for those who are suffering from ambiguous loss. The host of the show sets the right empathetic tone with each person she interviews, leaving the listener feeling compassion for those left behind. Very well done.

Can’t really review 2 episodes, but so far, I am concerned that there will be too much reiteration of content regarding the common problems that exist for all of the families of missing loved ones. This podcast will end up telling the same story over and over again. (Ie. The good and bad of social media. The inherent problems that families face when trying to wrap up the accounts, estate, and insurance issues of an adult that is missing but not declared dead. Family members that are advocating for the missing have to reiterate the missing loved one’s story over and over again.) This podcast’s intended audience seems like it would be geared to the actual families of missing loved ones. Similar to a support group, it demonstrates that one is not alone in the context of having a missing loved one. Going forward, I hope the podcast content becomes more exceptionally unique in each episode. If we learn about “problem x” in episode 1, put it away and do not reiterate “problem x” in subsequent episodes. I just worry that each episode will be telling the same story but using a different voice. I want this podcast to be a success. Personally, I hope it evolves into each episode spending 90% of the episode covering the events leading up to the disappearance, and then cover the events post-disappearance up leading up to it becoming a “cold case,” or when police lose interest. The last 10% should be how the family is handling life without their loved one, and what could be asked of the public. Again, many of these families face common problems. Some of them are really personal. I hope the focus of the episode shifts to 90% of the case and 10% of how the family is contending with the same, or very similar, problems that the other families are facing.

This podcast is a good idea to raise awareness and generate empathy. However, I was board to tears listening to question after question about the person’s feelings, followed by the same sad responses. This Q+A could be done in a quarter of the time for people to step into the victim’s shoes. To improve the podcast, each experience could be framed as a story/narrative of the victim’s experiences, maybe followed by some personal questions. The personal but engaging small plot of how the loved one went missing would engage the listener, and then a short heartfelt Q+A would nicely wrap it up. This podcast has a lot of potential, but it’s structure should be changed to keep people engaged and subscribed.

I have to admit I was totally sucked into this podcast. I pulled it up to give it a try and was so hooked, it’s like my world disappeared for an hour. Love that! The narrator is excellent. She has empathy not just sympathy but skips needless drama. She pulled me in to the point I felt I knew this family, though they are halfway around the world from me. I wanted to fly to Australia and help Jason’s family look for his dad. Well done!

I’m here due to Casefiles which is part of this channel’s family I believe. I enjoy cold case/missing person podcasts but find it hard to find good content. Casefile along with Somebody Knows Something are my favorite pods for cold-case. I am so excited to find a good missing person pod!

Finally a podcast that discusses missing people in a non-exploitive way! Loren is a host who understands first-hand what her guests are going through, and her conversations are compassionate and focus proper attention on the subjects. Great podcast - I am excited to see what the future holds!

I have a very good feeling that this podcast is going to be really good. I’m looking forward to listening to this
