Fascinating
Shane and Gemma do a great job with sensitive subjects and talking to their guest respectively

Very good
Just started listening yesterday & im almost done season 2. Love the podcast!!

Keepers Continued
If you watched The Keepers and want to know what is happening afterward this is the podcast for you. It has more interviews with the people who were in the Netflix Mini Docu-Series and follows what is being done about priest abuse(or the lack thereof). I love this podcast because I loved Gemma in The Keepers and have come to love Shane Waters. They are both really pleasant people to listen to and personable. Give it a go! 🙂

Well researched
Great podcast about this case. Worth your time.

No stone unturned.
Determined only begins to describe the folks involved in this podcast on unsolved crimes. They’ll “knock on any door” to get to the truth of who killed Sister Cathy Cesnick and Joyce Malecki and they do so respectfully and with care for the victims and their families. Brainstorm along with hosts Gemma and Shane as they clearly explain this very complex crime ring and police coverup. Show is a follow up from “The Keepers” documentary. Story is still developing. Heartbreaking and hopeful!

Best ever!
The dedication of this crew is amazing!

Very Informative Podcast From People Who Care!
I have not listened to many podcasts but really enjoy listening to Shane and Gemma in their search for answers in the death of Sister Cathy Cesnik. It’s obvious to listeners that they truly do care about the survivors. If you watched the Netflix documentary, The Keepers, you will find more information in this series.

Love it!
I look forward to a new podcast every week. Very interesting and informative if you are interested in the priest sexual abuse scandal and putting an end to it.

Informative and Important
Shane and Gemma work extremely hard to bring forth the truth in cold cases. Their work seeking justice and closure for victim’s families is important. 💗 I highly recommend this podcast.

Mostly good, some bad.
I loved The Keepers on Netflix (I’ve watched it several times), so listening to the podcast and hearing from some of the people featured in the documentary has been so interesting. However, the noise in this last episode is so bad and distracting that I could not finish it. Also, the intro is a bit long. Other than that, intriguing podcast.

Very Informative & Great Follow Up To The Keepers
I love this podcast! This is truly great to find out more than that just what The Keepers shows. I love Gemma’s dedication to finding out what happened with Sister Cathy, Keough, and the evil of Maskill. Hearing how Shane and Gemma help each other is so wonderful. The research that goes into this podcast is mind blowing. Thank you guys! Keep up the good work! -Victoria W.-Asheville, NC

Great podcast, rough audio
Great topic and substance, but a podcast seemingly conducted entirely over the phone leaves the audio wanting.

Pretty good
I'm only a few episodes into the Shame and Gemma podcast episodes. It's very interesting hearing from survivors and others related to the case, as well as experts who can share their perspective. However, there are times when I hear them get timelines or other things wrong and fail to catch and correct them. Maybe it's a lack of preparation. Shane also has some grammatical errors (use of whom), but I try not to get too picky about that...

Great Podcast!
I look forward to this podcast every week! So I informative and quality presentation, the subject matter is very serious and Shane is so respectful of both the victims and interviewees! Gemma and Shane are a great team, doing a fantastic job of keeping us all updated! Thank you!!

Dynamic Duo
I am humbled at the compassion and the unwavering quest for justice. Not only have they uncovered the tip of the iceberg, they have uncovered the relentless search for TRUTH. Their example is so needed nowadays. Love it. Fight for sister Cathy, and we only hope that justice “Trumps” cowardice this time.

I love this podcast!!
Believe it or not, this was my first podcast to which I ever subscribed. I was immediately hooked. I binge watched The Keepers and have fallen in love with Shane and Gemma. I truly believe they are changing the face of supporting survivors of clergy abuse. Rock on!!

Completely addictive!
I am a huge fan of the work that Shane and Gemma produce each week. I actually subscribe on Patreon to get the episodes two days in advance because I cannot wait to hear what will unfold in each new episode. The research that Shane and Gemma undertake for each episode is unparalleled.

Heartfelt coverage of difficult subject matter
Shane and collaborator Gemma have together achieved an integration of cold case fact finding, development of engagement, and a hard to top sincerity in their sleuthing that belies the depth of depravity and soulless actions perpetrated by clergy. That these transgressions occurred at all is mind bending, but on the scale and in the manner exposed in the retelling of events by those whose lives were forever altered, is close to impossible to achieve without the deft story telling and compassion shown by the co hosts to the survivors, families and friends of those effected. Bravo to this pair of professionals who continue to do an incredible job of exposing pedophilia and peeling back the underside of an institution whose inaction is juxtaposed very carefully with the unsolved murder of beloved Sister Cathy Cesnik. Keep up the excellent work!

Great podcast
Shane does a excellent job, I believe with his work and Gemma and all the others this case will be solved

The best pod cast to cover the church gone evil
Factual based Caring No one left behind

The Keepers continued...
I love the passion that Shane and Gemma have put into the fight for justice for all of the victims. Their unlikely connection just works!

Intriguing
Shane and Gemma have woven people, places, and things together as they uncover more information to help survivors of clergy abuse. They work diligently to keep us informed as this unfolds.

Very informative
Great podcast!

Awesome podcast!!!
Shame and Gemma do an Awesome job and are fair in their investigations! This is by far the best podcast I have ever listened to and you won’t find anyone more caring and fair as these two! Keep up the great work! Truth always wins, eventually..

Love and Compassion!
Shane and Gemma have taken a horrible true story, with life destructing consequences, and filled their listeners with love, compassion, and hope. I listen to their voices every day; they lend me strength to keep going.

Amazingness!
Absolutely love these podcasts. I can never wait for the next one to come out. Thank you Shane for all your hard word and dedication to always finding the truth.

Engaging
Very engaging, sincere coverage of a tragic case and meaningful discussion of a highly sensitive, important topic.

I’m addicted
I truly enjoy this podcast! Love the weekly episodes. Very informative and up to date. Shane has a nice clear voice. Easy to listen to!

Shane Waters
I work cold cases and Shane and his podcast are a credit to how law enforcement and the public should work together. His integrity and compassionate care for the victims and their families is the first on a long list by of attributes this Investigative Reporter brings to his podcast and his cases . I worked with Shane for a brief time when I received a tip on one of his cases. His discretion and respect for the case and law enforcement superseded anything else. His awesome voice lends mystery to his compelling cases . His kindness is a soft place to land for victims everywhere. Thank you Shane for giving a voice to the long forgotten cases and the people and families they represent. Proud to know you. -

Shane and Gemma put their hearts into it.
I look forward to each episode. I have no doubt that with Shane and Gemma’s perseverance, Sister Cathy’s murder will be solved.
