Caring, Compassionate Look at a Difficult Subject
Great podcast - such compassionate hosts and such a more detailed look at this case. The transparent look at a hard subject is admirable.

No stone unturned
For those who wish for justice for Sister Cathy and Joyce Malecki, this podcast is a must listen. Sean and Gemma work so hard, interviewing the survivors, tracking down leads, and sharing what they learn with their audience. I admire them so much. Their podcast has become my Tuesday listen each week. They have heart, desire to do good, and are responsive to their listeners and I love that about them!

Love it!
Shane is a very sweet and dedicated to his podcast. He cares very deeply and gives the victims a voice when no one else will. Gemma makes me laugh and is also dedicated to this podcast. Keep up the good work you two.

Out of the shadows
This is the most interesting and hopeful podcast built from “The Keepers” on Netflix. These regular people have become excellent professional investigators. All done out of love for a teacher murdered they had years ago and another young woman murdered within days of Sr. Cathy. The love exuded by the people involved in this podcast far exceeds the evil of the abusers and murderers. Love conquers all.

Awesome podcasts
Shane and Gemma are perfect sleuths. They investigate with enthusiasm and keep their listeners interested in the material they are talking about. I love their podcasts. More please 💕💕💕❤️

Well done podcast
This podcast makes me so sad, and so angry. But Shane and Gemma do their jobs with kindness and respect. Well done.

Excellent Podcast
I enjoy listening to Out Of The Shadows. I look forward to each week when a new episode comes out! Keep them coming!!

Great work!
Look forward to hearing each episode! Shane and Gemma (and Abbie, Jean, Teresa, Donna and all the rest who have so lovingly contributed)You are simply amazing. Your dedication and passion for solving these cases and shedding light on horrific crimes committed by trusted church and community leaders is so appreciated. I pray that these cases will be solved! God bless you!!! ❤️😘

One of the Best.
As a follower of true crime podcasts and an interest in the “ The Keepers” documentary , I have become riveted to this podcast. Both Shane and Gemma manage to explain old and new information clearly, present new research and discoveries, and keep a professional but personable presence in their delivery. It’s the first podcast I go to every Wednesday morn with my cup of coffee. This podcast keeps me on the edge of my seat , and I enjoy Gemma’s spirit and commitment to not only Sr Cathy , but to every person who has suffered at the hands of clergy. Shane’s “out sider looking in “ knowledge of the Catholic Church and Faith is refreshing. He has a different reaction to things because he hasn’t been raised in the faith. I could not think of a better coupling to do this kind of podcast.

GREAT coverage!
I found this on The Keepers FB page and I love it!! Love that they are able to keep us updated on the progress and still trying to get justice for the survivors and Sister Cathy! Love the show & keep up the good work!! My only complaint - the recording/sound quality! There have been a couple episodes where I can barely hear Gemma and there is some background feedback.

Amazing!
Shane is one of the most thorough, dedicated investigative people I’ve ever heard. His compassion and understanding of the victims is such that it adds an additional dimension to the podcast. Now that Gemma has joined, this podcast has gone to another level, making this a must-listen every single week.

If you’re a fan of the keepers, this is a Must!!
After watching the keepers three times over the last year and a half, I was still searching for more. This is probably the best documentary I have ever seen, and because I am born and raised Catholic, I was even more intrigued. I hope and pray they find out who killed Sister Cathy and Joyce Malecki and bring justice to their families. Gemma and Shane are tremendous and deliver one of the best podcast I have ever listened to. If you are a fan of the keepers, this podcast give even more great detail!

Wow
Great to listen to The guy from the archdiocese is in denial , he believes the molesters and their protectors , that guy was just a creep If nothing else just take the word of anybody outside of the archdiocese the odds would be better in finding the truth They should look into the Chicago churches that place was infested with molesters, and guess what yes even when they were caught they just move them somewhere else, God help the people that went to the Catholic schools on the north side of Chicago

Great cast for sure
It’s really to bad the archdiocese let it go for so long, it should be held accountable, The shame my family has is interwoven in this story, we had an uncle who would tell us this was going on there but we thought he was crazy, he said people were to afraid to speak out, he even told us how a small faction close to maskel was attempting to make things right by poisoning him

Awesome!
So much hard work and determination are just two words to describe this Podcast. It bring a major cold case to the forefront and is more and more compelling to listen to each week. An amazing job from two amazing people!

Diligence and Dedication
I watched the Netflix documentary titled 'The Keepers' and learned about Cathy Cesnick. I was thrilled to see that Gemma Hoskins, whom we met in 'The Keepers', had partnered with Shane Waters to continue the search for truth. It has opened into so much more. I can't wait for each new podcast. Shane is a meticulous researcher, he and Gemma partner beautifully. Each podcast is a delight to listen to, and I have larned so much more. Shane's compassion, his dedication to truth and justice for those that have suffered is an example for all of us to aspire to. I have also listened to his Red Head Murders Podcast. I am most impressed!

Unstoppable Force.
The show grabs your interest from the beginning. I love listening and being informed of the truth behind the compelling Keepers Documentary

Out of the Shadows
Love listening to Shane and Gemma try to solve this crime for Sister. It’s very Interesting and wants you to listen to more.

Great podcast
Shane does a great job of tackling difficult topics and getting people to talk about their experiences. A must listen for any true crime junkie

Wonderful!!
I look forward to this podcast each week! Sometimes I stay up later just so I can hear it after midnight! Well done Shane and Gemma!

Best ever
Absolutely love this podcast. I have listened to Shane for a long time he is such and good soul and gentle giant. Shane and Gemma have worked hard to find answers and pass them along while being respectful to those victims past and present. Gemma is an amazing. Do your self a favor and download this podcast you will not regret it. It will open your eyes to the corruption and cover ups in the Catholic Church

Great true crime podcast
If you watched the Keepers this podcast is a must-listen. Shane and Gemma are a great team!

One of my favorites!
I look forwards to this show every week! Shane and Gemma have been amazing and respected the victims while uncovering more information that I feel one day will help to solve this case!

Good podcast but....
I really enjoy the podcast but would like to hear more questions from Shane. It’s also very distracting to here Gemma “Uh-huh”ing or saying “right right”when the guests are speaking. I would like to hear them complete a statement without the sound interruptions

Compelling
I understand more and more how criminal deeds are committed and horrendous cover-ups continued, using similar behaviors: Cooperation/submission/fear of abusers, disbelief/dismissal/ridicule of victims, incapacity/untrustworthiness of law enforcement, evil skills of perpetrators in choosing targets, Too many accounts—from disparate sources i.e. Dr Ford etc., contain the same attributes/patterns. The Keepers are making a great contribution to justice, health, human well-being. Thanks to all.

A Man Apart from the Crowd
Shane Waters is, first and foremost, a deep and complex human being with a great heart. He treats people, living and dead, with respect and compassion. He’s out literally changing the world. This man and his podcast are the real deal. And now with Gemma Hoskins? Be still my heart!

Out of the Shadows podcast series is a homerun!
If you watched the Netflix series “The Keepers” you definitely do not want to miss out on hearing this podcast series Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins co-host. The interviews are so well organized in an informal and conversational way. Some guests are participants in series and some are survivors of the clergy abuse story in The Keepers (both those who did share and some who weren’t ready to share their stories at the time filming was taking place. You will learn more about the culture of abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore and about the triumph of the human spirit as survivors tell their stories. You will be touched beyond belief and changed forever when you hear the depths of suffering these ladies endured . And you’ll be inspired by their courage and resilience as they move forward in their lives through various means of healing.

Compassionate seekers of the truth
Shane Waters along with Gemma Hoskins Enter ever case with passion to bring the truth out from under every rock and log and the passing of time. This team goes above and beyond to find the details of a case that have been long forgotten until Shane starts poking the hornet nest jarring a memory or two lose. With Gemma quick mind and knowledge of crime these two are unstoppable. They don’t stop at the end of their podcast they continue the case to the finish. Shane has written letters to politicians to placing crosses were victim were found in the hopes that it bring a memory to surface Gemma and Shane stay in touch with the survivors after their podcast is posted it does not stop. I highly recommend this podcast see if you don’t get dragged into their victims story in parting I wish to say Gemma, Shane “KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT” looking forward to your next case

Big Hearted Podcaster
This podcast is not your typical podcast. Shane immerses himself into these episodes. He becomes attached personally to the cases. He is bringing new light onto old cases that otherwise would probably be overlooked. Keep up the awesome work Shane!

My Family tragedy
Thank you for sharing. I worked with people with TBI in community settings. This would be a hopful share for the BIAA(Brian Injury Assc. of America). It's a hard journey to get your life back after a brain injury. What a strong and supportive family you have!
