HELD: A Podcast Mini-Series

46

Imagine keeping a secret for thirty five years. Now imagine, through a twist of fate and modern science, that secret is revealed to the person you most feared knowing it. Imagine what happens to your life – and to the lives of those around you – in the wake of that truth being uncovered. A truth buried so deeply it was like it never really happened—that is, until the day phone rang and nothing was ever the same. (Series running time: 5h 23m.)

    Dragged out too much
    It’s all Angie, 90% was how do you feel, how did you feel, how did you think about it!!! It wasn’t about all of them it was all her what about Michael, and Zach and his parents!! It’s all about her I had to stop it because all she did was express how bad she felt!!! Way too much Angie other people suffered too.

    Amazing
    This podcast gives an entire different aspect of a “child” who is a teenage girl who becomes pregnant. My heart breaks for that 16 year old girl and the wonderful woman she has become! She was so brave and giving to provide such a blessing to a family who gave Zac a wonderful life! I’m so glad everyone was reunited and so excepting of each family. Each of these families are truly blessed! ❤️

    Wow!
    This is a very well-done podcast. Absolutely a rollercoaster. I love that there are interviews with so many of the people affected by Angie’s secret and that there is a happy “ending”/beginning. I’m Angie’s age and from St. Louis. I identified with how she said she felt as a teen girl. Her thoughts, decisions, etc. made sense in the context of our somewhat similar upbringings. I admire her strength and vulnerability, and I’m happy for her (and everyone else) that this situation played out as it did. We can never have too many people to love and who love us!

    Compelling
    The full disclosure from all parties and the excellent interview style bring the compelling story to life in real time. This is a must listen for podcast listeners of all genres. The honesty from the people telling the story from their perspectives is refreshing.

    A must listen!
    An incredible story that will engage you from the first word to the very last one….and leave you wanting to know more about this family! You will feel all the emotions while listening but the joy in Angie’s voice as she recounts meeting her child 35 years later is the most heartwarming moment. We can all see ourselves some way in this story and I am in awe and admiration at what Angie went through and buried deep down while she was just a child herself. A must listen!

    It was hard to stop listening once I started! Such a rollercoaster of emotions, which felt surprising uplifting and heartwarming, whilst also heart-wrenching and raw. Masterfully told.

    Bingeworthy!
    This podcast was a really powerful!!! The story and interviews were so authentic that it cracked open my heart to their experiences and new possibilities around my own adoption. Kudos to Angie for bravely sharing her journey, the rest of the family for adding all of their perspectives, and Karri Rosenthal for putting it all together!
