Larry The Geezer- Family Jewels True Crime Podcast
Great podcast. Love the format. Very unique.

Breaking News!!
This podcast is not for entertainment purposes. It is an ongoing community service program and social justice project. The “community” of everyone on the planet who is a victim of child sexual abuse, knows a victim, or hopes to live in a world where there are no more victims of sexual abuse. The hosts are two interested parties who fate has flung together to drag these dark acts out into the light. One can’t get greedy and desire an episode every week as it is a developing story. Sadly, this developing story is a past for too many and a future that holds inevitable justice with no scheduled date of revelation. The struggle of when will that justice be made available to victims, what justice means, what it involves, psychological facts and realities for victims and perpetrators, legal and political agonies, are all currently being revealed. Out of the Shadows is breaking news presented by two caring human beings invested in revealing truth. Also, it has a great theme song.

Hope to be as good
Man this podcast rocks! You do such an amazing job with it. I’m a fan!! I just hope one day my podcast is half as good as this one!! Duh Weekly Podcast!!

Incredible interviews...
Just amazing contributions by Shane and Gemma to the truth about so many aspects surrounding the life of Sister Cathy. The interviews with investigative reporter Tom Nugent are incredible and are must listen episodes for every citizen of Maryland in my opinion. The professionalism of Shane and Gemma along with their down to earth style and fairness toward those they interview is so admirable and refreshing. I would love to see many more TV interviewers adopt their style.

Gemma and Shane
I love the way Gemma and Shane have empathy for all the people they have interviewed. So nice to listen to them they have the best voice. They are very knowledgeable about the subjects they discuss. It’s funny that Shane asks questions about the catholic religion. Cause while I’m listening, I hear something and don’t understand because not being raised in the catholic religion some of the things is hard to know. I ask myself well, what’s that mean. Then I hear Shane ask the same thing I was wondering. This pulls the whole interview together so we understand. Thanks again guys. You are my number 1 podcast.

Teamwork makes the dream work
Shane and Gemma are the dynamic duo. I could listen to them every day. Shane’s style is engaging, warm, honest, and sincere. Exactly what these topics need. Keep on keepin’ on!

Out Of The Shadows
Shane and Gemma team up as a surprisingly unlikely duo of super sleuths, but wow, they do a fantastic job! Together, they reach so many hearts and minds. Shane’s youth and knowledge of media, his research skills, intelligence and thoughtful questions about the Catholic Church and experience, along with his very caring heart, are a major contributor to the production of this very sad and deeply disturbing content. Combine that with Gemma’s insider information of the 50 year old case, her complete dedication to all of her listeners, her ability to get people to come out of the shadows and engage in the conversation, and her absolute determination not to quit, are just some of the things that create her best work to keep pushing this case forward. I am personally grateful to all the SURVIVORS who have come forward. This is THEIR story. I have learned more from this podcast than I can ever express. Thank you, Shane and Gemma, for always honoring these heroes, for respecting everyone in this horrific story of survival. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. Cathy Ceznick’s light and love lives on in our hearts as we get to know her and the other girls through you, and as we remember them all. 🕯🕯🕯

The only thing I don’t like is...
The music in the background. Other than that - very good and important podcast.

Great continuation of The Keepers
Gemma is an amazing! She proves herself to be a knowledgeable interviewer and the people being interviewed are extremely engaging. That being said, Shane’s “interview” style is typically cringe worthy. For some reason, Shane feels compelled to insert irrelevant information about himself when asking questions to his guests. It’s bizarre to me that a 30 year old ( by the way I don’t know the age of any of the other hosts of podcasts that I listen to) doesn’t know that journalist/reporters don’t do that— no one cares. Also, as someone who has chosen to make a podcast about the Catholic Church he has not only done NO research into the terminology or traditions, but he basically brags about his ignorance in one of the early episodes. Last complaint about Shane is that if a period of time goes by where he has not contributed to the conversation, he will pipe up. When he decides to do this, it typically takes the conversation off track which leads me to believe he either wasn’t listening to the conversation OR that he was totally lost on what was going on because he did absolutely no prep work before the episode. If Gemma could do the podcast alone, I would be all in. Thankfully Shane often finds himself in over his head in the conversations so we only have to endure listening to a couple questions from him per episode. If his participation was more, I would probably have given a less than 5 star rating. Great work Gemma!!

Favorite podcast
Really great interviewing.

Makes my work day better
Listening to this podcast makes my day go by much quicker and keeps me on the edge of my seat. It’s really interesting to me because I’m from the Lansdowne area and know exactly where a lot of the locations are that they talk about. The only complaint I have in part 16 when Shane is interviewing the guy from the Archdiocese of Baltimore I wanted to rip my hair out at the amount of times the guy said “um”. Lol

Breaks my heart. Makes me mad.
Jesus says what happens to people who hurt children. Amen

Wonderful work
Thank you, Gemma and Shane, for this important work. And thanks to your guests for their courage and sharing their knowledge and experiences.

Podcast
Great

Amazing
Amazing hosts and amazing podcast. Thank you

Thank you 😊

Great podcast
I really enjoy hearing these podcast. unveiling some truths about things that were a mystery years ago. It takes dedication and some very hurtful truths but finally things are coming to light for some of the victims. I think Shane and Gemma do a fabulous job keeping it as painless as the person hurting can stand. I understand that more and more people have found courage to unveil what happened to them. I love detective work, and it helps anyone clear what the truth is, this Podcast is a great tool. If you help one person with what your doing you’ve done a great job. Keep it up and your supporters have got your back. We care!

If you've watched "the keepers" you won't want to miss this podcast
Not only is this podcast a riveting follow up to the documentary, the hosts are thorough and fair in their presentations, empathetic and sensitive in their approach to victim interviews, and also do their best to foster respect and privacy to individuals on both sides of the issue.

Out of the Shadows
Great Podcast! Gemma and Shane continue to shine the light, gather clues and help the victims of abuse, by the Church!

My favorite true crime podcast
I can’t wait for a new episode to come out every week!

Energetic! Informative! Amazing!
Out of the Shadows is the only podcast that keeps me immersed! I wait each week for this to come out. There are other good podcasts, but I am captivated after The Keepers. I hope this goes into hundreds of episodes.. Gemma and Shane are a dynamic duo! Fun! Energetic! Informative! I feel like they may just run across a piece of info that solves this.

Love the hosts and content
New favorite podcast, the content is always interesting and well thought out. Gemma and Shane present a difficult topic in a sensitive way and have interesting guests. I always save their episodes for when I have time to listen and process. Keep up the great work guys!

Thrilling
I usually listen while I’m driving, now I want to drive all the time just to keep up with the next episode.

Gemma & Shane are doing great work
This podcast is fascinating, devastating at times and hopeful in others but always riveting. More than anything I’m impressed by the good work Shane and Gemma are doing. They are giving a voice to victim-survivors, educating everyone and investigating the hell out of the crimes surrounding the murder or Sister Cathy and the motives behind it. More than anything I want to thank the podcasters for being outstanding advocates!

Great podcast!!!
Very informative podcast. After watching The Keepers you are left with, what happens next?! You find out so much backstory and information regarding the Sister Cathy’s disappearance and ultimately her death. Well done Shane and Gemma!!!

Always well done
Find myself anxiously awaiting each new episode. Content is rich and entertaining. Often listen again. Thank you Shane and Gemma!

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! 🙂
