I could not wait to drive to and from work so I could listen to this podcast!

Anyone who says this podcast isn’t excellent is just lying. Top tier journalism and the way the episodes twist and turn will have you reeling each time you think you know what’s up. I disagree that she’s a murderer and I don’t think there is much to say about what happened to Henry Jumont that isn’t already said in the podcast. The story is about that incident but becomes a wider critique of the long shadow of colonialism and the very real presence of neo-colonialism. It’s also a mind bending trip into the unbearable systems we create to torture each other. Truly chilling.

Josh Dean is an exceptional investigative journalist who also does an amazing job relaying the story. This podcast was extremely well done overall. It was easy to follow and had an interesting story line.

I started this under the pretense that it would follow the murder of a Belizean cop and try to piece together unanswered questions to his death. Instead, it quickly pivoted to victimizing the murderess. Which is a true shame. She didn’t lose her life, she took somebody else’s.

Story, narration, editing, investigation, production - all WOWS. Congratulations on a fantastic podcast.

Easily one of the best podcasts I’ve heard in quite a while. This story is mind blowing and Josh Dean does a spectacular job telling it.

Loved it

this was a really excellent show, gripping and very entertaining.

There are many ways in which this story could have been told, all of which could have been done in 3 episodes or less. Instead, it is 12 drawn out episodes of a somewhat interesting story of crime and corruption, overshadowed by the host’s obvious romantic attraction toward the main character. Without having the patience to finish the series, I can only hope that Josh finds the love that he desires from someone other than a preoccupied potential murder.

I didn’t know about this story prior to listening. The more I listen, the more I feel like the journalist is pretty one-sided for Jasmine.

Really hard to feel sympathetic. Not much about the victim

Very accurate pic of Belize, I fear - coming fm someone born and raised here. Ms Hartin’s odessy felt like a Kafkaesque fever dream for sure. Prolly could’ve gone w/o episodes on getting-to-know-the-Aschrofts, but I get their utility for someone unfamiliar w/ them.

I reject your narrative that bc I am white, I have some “white devil” in me. Racism goes both ways, sir.

I have listened to ten and a half episodes and couldn’t tell you what this podcast is about. A big nothing burger, and I like the podcasts this production company makes.

What kind of sociopath goes to such lengths to keep his children's mother away from them?!

Thank you for this fantastic report. I binged all 12 episodes (and the bonus) starting yesterday morning. I am so glad this weekend has one more hour. I can’t wait for your next podcast. When!!???

Really well done on the reporting although one sided. But what can you do when the other side hides afraid to stand up. I feel sorry for the family of the victim but also for Belize in general. Was on my list to visit but I will keep my dollars that’s how I screw the rich. Jasmine should check out the podcast Kill List! Just saying.

I’ve been going to Belize every year for 25 years since my husband grew up there. I’d heard this story but not like this…the awful things this poor lady had to endure. I admire the bravery of her and those who helped her.

I feel like it is very obvious that the 1-star comments are Ashcroft funded. For those of you with an IQ below 100, “true crime” podcasts are going to be real life events that took place when a crime occurred. Not a fan-fiction produced storyline. This is a fantastic podcast that is extremely informative of the corruption taking place in Belize and how manipulative the 2% is. If you want to see the world in 20 years, go to Belize. We are all headed down the same road if nothing changes. Those of us who appreciate True Crime do not need a “great story that isn’t too detailed.” We want a true event with the details. Go find a story in the realm of FICTION trolls.

AMAZING story telling. You took somthing so heavy & made it light hearted/ digestible while still respecting the victim. This was soo refreshing to listen to

I love the in depth research. When these professionals dig - they dig deep. Thorough. Impressive. I like the format of the show. I enjoy listening to the facts presented. Unbiased, but thoughts and suggestions are offered. So interesting. I am glued to this podcast.

The story is worth being told and heard. I listened so long, I ended up looking Jasmine up online so I could see what she and Andrew looked like. However, it was unnecessarily long. Could have been about 4 episodes shorter.

Great story. I’m a huge fan of Josh and how he breaks everything down. Some of the episodes could have been a little shorter, but it really gave you a great background of everything. Really makes you think about our democracy here in the US and others outside of the US. Was considering taking a vacation to Belize, but now after hearing this podcast, I’m definitely staying away. Jasmine is a very strong woman, and I commend her for being so resilient.

IMPOSSIBLE not to binge. If you are a mom, buckle up. I always wanted to go to Belize, but now I can’t imagine it. If I knew my dollars would go straight to the people of Belize, and not the Ashcrofts, then maybe I’d reconsider. So perfectly produced. And so incredibly frustrating, enraging and sad… this is a story with such an unsatisfying ending. I guess that’s real life…

Too long and boring at times. I kept listening because I thought it would improve, but it didn’t. The “victimhood” of Jasmine and the “colonialism/toxic white male” aspects got old.

Starts slow, but builds momentum to the point it’s impossible not to binge. Disagree with the few reviews I’ve seen that wanted it to be shortened… But I prefer a well-developed investigation such as this as opposed to those that leave so many questions unanswered. I’m bummed it’s over!

This is a compelling and nicely produced podcast. However, the story is too detailed and long. Great storytelling isn’t always just about the story you tell; it’s also about the details you choose to leave out to have a more cohesive product in the end. The podcast would benefit from a shrewd editor.

I could not stop myself from listening to episode after episode. You guys did a great job of exposing the corruption that is found among the rich. I disagree with others, it was not too long. You guys did amazing! Until the next one!

I’ve seen mixed reviews about this podcast, and that’s unfortunate because it’s quite a fascinating story. Listen all the way through, and it will be clear why the actual murder scene episode was held off until the end. It was an intentional move on the part of the journalist that all comes together in the end. Those that are giving it lower reviews are likely the ones that stopped halfway through. Well-researched and presented in my favorite long-format style! Great job!

A man was murdered and all this series talks about is the vapid over indulged, likely alcoholic, drama filled couple and their custody battle. I want to know what happened on the pier that night!

The show is very well produced but too long. It goes into great detail about elements of the story that don’t feel relevant or interesting. It could’ve been half of the length.

I enjoyed the story behind this podcast but at times I found Jasmin insufferable. Everything was about what she was going through and how she had been wronged but not a lot about the victim of the story. At one point it seemed she was even blaming the victim for what happened. If both of them were drinking she too could have said it’s not a good idea to learn about firing a gun while drinking. She said she was upset and grieving but her constant concern for herself and what was happening to her didn’t show she was upset or even remorseful. I understand she was going through some bad things but at least she and her family members were still alive. Henry’s family lost their loved one and that didn’t seem to faze her.

This is an interesting story — part true crime, part romance gone bad, part social critique. Behind the bars and beaches, there’s the sad story of corruption, cruelty, and crony capitalism.

This podcast is nothing more than a PR stunt for this horrible woman who killed someone and has no remorse, and who is very clearly a narcissistic grifter. The only interesting thing about this podcast were the questions from Pierce Morgan in episode 9 (which of course we don’t get the answers to.) Don’t waste your time.

She’s an insufferable narcissist. He’s trying too hard to be dry and clever. After the first four episodes it’s all just endless boring family drama.

I had to abandon the podcast around episode 7. A man was killed under mysterious circumstances by Jasmine, yet the whole story up to that point was how her husband was doing her wrong. I hadn't learned any additional details about the mysterious shooting or anything more about her he victim before I decided to abandon ship. Maybe they eventually got around to all the other details, but I wasn't willing to stick around anymore to find out.

I’ve been to Belize, but won’t step foot in that county ever again. I wish Jasmine the very very best. Her treatment has been horrible beyond anything I could imagine. She’s my hero for being able to stay positive on any level. Hoping so much that her children don’t forget her, that they don’t become brainwashed, and that they will reunite with their mother when they are old enough. I don’t pray but I will sincerely pray for this. Great reporting folks, and thank you so much for this eye opener!

He is an amazing journalist and reporter. I love all his podcast series. Keep doing God’s work, Josh

Well, I am never going to Belize nor any of the Ashcroft’s many resorts. Absolute power corrupts. Terrible what happened to Henry, and despicable all who have contributed to the unbelievably unjust persecution of Jasmine. The lower ratings here make me think the Ashcrofts ordered their minions to give low ratings. Chin up, Jasmine. Hug those kiddos!

it was great narration by the storyteller, but way too drawn out for the ending the way it ended. It could’ve ended way before I spent hours and hours because everything seem to kind of repeat itself. I’d like to hear something from the narrator that’s a little bit more in-depth and, interesting.

Wow wow wow…. I listen to podcasts all day every day, this was jaw dropping… well explained, with all the twists and turns in this, im really impressed how well told this was. I never once got lost… though i was def left mind boggled or confused at times….it was not due to story telling ….rather the actual story playing out itself! AMAZING JOURNALISM, heartbreaking story, but had its fair share of ups and downs for the listener and my heart truely goes out to all who had the courage to even participate. This is my first ever review in all the years i listen to podcasts and thats cuz i just dont ever review. But this story left me compelled to say something in support …. Wow is all i can think still. My jaw is still on the ground.

Loved every minute of this podcast, which at the core, brings the bitter truth about colonialism into the light!

Campsite media offers multiple investigative and interesting podcasts! Highly recommend!

I would love to see this turned into a tv series or movie! It’s a terrible thing to happen to real life families but it’s such an intriguing story to hear. Prayers go out to Jasmine to see her babies at least equally and also Henry’s family for their loss.

…hearing the podcaster slowly get snowed by the sociopath main character. He goes from appearing impartial in the first few episodes to full on advocating for her towards the end. The strawmen he builds are beyond parody and his inability to zoom out and see how he is being manipulated is the real story here.

It leaves out anything negative about Jasmine. It feels like it was written and produced by Jasmine to shine her in a good light. It leaves out info about her relationship with the victim and any other people that may shine her in a bad light. Clearly they had to put a positive spin on her to get her to participate. It doesn’t feel like real honest journalism. Update after finishing it. There is very little actual journalism in this one. Did she really accidentally shoot him? They don’t even try to find that out. How did the alleged accidental shooting happen? They don’t even try to find that out either. Jasmine never once says she feels horrible for her behavior. She never apologizes. If someone drives drunk and accidentally kills someone, they go to jail. If someone plays with a gun while drunk and accidentally shoots someone, apparently we are supposed to feel sorry for them. She is lucky she isn’t in jail. And the journalism doesn’t investigate much of anything.

Incredibly well done. Hoping Jasmine has been properly reunited with her children!

While I am not happy with the ending that is not Josh's fault! I recommend White Devil.

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in a long time. I love the hosts voice, story telling, and POV. I’ve been to Belize and stayed at the Radisson in Belize City - this story opened my eyes to the side of this country that tourists don’t see. Wishing justice for Jasmine. So good. So worth listening to.

Great podcast. Amazing host and great research. Please don’t let it be over!
