Great production

I hadn’t intended to binge listen to this, but the host is engaging and easy to listen to, and the production is so well crafted that the end of each episode left me needing to know what happened next.
The story is tough to listen to at moments, even shocking, but this podcast has given some of Amanda’s victims a much deserved opportunity to speak, which I feel is important.
Highly recommended listen.

Completely eye opening

Was recommended this by a friend .. have binged the whole series - the length that she went to to maintain this deception is phenomenal. The devastation for all her victims is immense. I can see this being on Netflix at some point.
A very well told story considering the subject matter, cancer touches everyone at some point in their lives. You just would like to think that no-one would use it for their own gain - or was she lost in her own lie... i guess only one person will know that.
