Wow!

Vicky Ward has one of the stuffiest British accents I have ever heard in my life.

So Far Only the Trailer is Available

I downloaded it not realizing that it was only the trailer. Disappointed that there weren’t at least a few podcast episodes to listen to.
Will update if more content is available soon.

Necessary Information

Suzie
It’s appalling that the things that are revealed in this podcast have been kept secret. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg and I’m looking forward to finding out all the rest!

Highly Recommend!

This podcast was so well done, conscientiously reported, with integrity & grace. Kudos to Ms. Ward for taking the time to personally set the record straight in such an important way.

Locked in

Couldn't stop listening. I think the world is thirsty to know what Ghislaine knows. Great job Vicky Ward. Great job Audible.

Fascinating look into the Epstein/Maxwell story

Will definitely watch for an update to this podcast as Maxwell's story continues to unfold through the investigation and her trial.

Ms. Ward chases, but captures nothing new

Ms. Ward lost me when she paid Alan Dershowitz, her friend, to come on and gloss over his defense for Jeffrey Epstein. AD and company, got JE a slap on the wrist from the Florida DA years ago, which allowed him to continue his depraved crimes. Dershowitz is trying desperately to distance himself from the case, but he was vicious to the victims. No wonder the Farmer sisters question Ms Ward’s sympathy to them.

I also don’t get the sense that she fought Vanity Fair tooth and nail to ensure her original story on JE to included anything about the Farmer sisters. He threatened to sue her personally and she seemed to concede to that. I understand her hesitation but she doesn’t mention seeing a lawyer in order to protect her journalistic integrity. Others would have pushed back more.

Whining about working while pregnant

Very gossipy but interesting. The only real nit pick were the segments where the host and her producer engaged in a self-absorbed pity party recounting how the host had to work while pregnant. Sure Epstein was a jerk to her, and she bristled at being threatened with litigation, but that's the job.

Asking the audience to commiserate with her over being overwhelmed during her reporting was too much. Who cares that she had a difficult pregnancy? Who cares that Epstein went over her head? Who cares that she was threatened with personal liability? Writing for a living doesn't (or at least shouldn't) give one a license to spread rumors and unsubstantiated allegations. She had a poorly supported allegation from two credible women, but to expect her employer to go out on a limb for her, especially against a man clearly willing to sue (bravado in hindsight), was ludicrous.

In the end, the moaning regarding the host having to work while pregnant took away from the underlying story of an emotional cripple of a woman who allowed herself to be abused by a world-class jerk.

Fantastic story telling

Vicky Ward did a great job sharing information I didn't know about Ghislaine and telling her personal story.

Fascinating

This is my first Vicky Ward audio book and I am about to begin my second. I'm completely hooked on her professionalism, the quality of her writing, her investigation and her performance. I recommend this Audible production most highly.
