Popular Reviews of Once Upon a Time… at Bennington College

I loved this podcast. As a minor, technically, all of this was abuse. But the podcast does a great job of showing how in this case, it's not that simple. Is it abuse, if no one knows they are a minor. And that minor is manipulating the situations? The journey through everything that happened, is facinating. And at the end, I was left still not knowing "who was responsible". But regardless of whether someone was manipulating her, or she was manipulating others, I felt sad for the little girl Traci was. The little girl who felt like this was the only way to feel in control of her life.

Being a C13 production I was expecting this to be good. I'm disappointed. Only got to episode 3 before quitting. Topic could be interesting, E.G. Jon Ronson's work, but the reporting and editing made it below average for a multi-part deep dive series.It was a bit better than something from Parcast, but still not good. If wasn't for the the two C-rate presenters or hosts I might have finished the series, but they made it a difficult listen. Just couldn't finish.

Pretty disappointed by this one. The hosts are weird to listen to, plus the first episode is basically the whole story condensed. It was also pretty appalling how the subject of the sexual abuse of a minor was handled. Almost gossipy and flippant rather than the horror with which it should have been covered.

Shocking handling of sexual abuse. To have the male host read the graphic sexual abuse diary of a survivor while also saying the Porn industry should tell the story rather than the victim. Such poor taste, exploitative and morally vacant
