  • Gypsy-Rose Blanchard: “No One Has Really Listened To Me… Until Now”

    Gypsy-Rose Blanchard: “No One Has Really Listened To Me… Until Now”
    Jun 9 2026
    Gypsy-Rose Blanchard became one of the most recognisable women in modern true crime after the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, and the alleged medical abuse that shocked the world. In this rare conversation, Gypsy reflects on the childhood she says was built on lies, the complex relationship with her mother, and the questions she believes were never asked. She opens up about wanting to be loved, the relationships that shaped her life, and the catastrophic dynamic with Nick Godejohn, who is now serving life in prison. Gypsy revisits the night Dee Dee was killed, and the thinking behind what happened. She also reflects on guilt, accountability and whether her prison sentence was fair for the crime that was committed. Now a mother herself, Gypsy reflects on the kind of parent she wants to become, the cycles she is determined to break, and how she begins to move forward when the world still knows you by your darkest chapter.

I first listened to this podcast because Paul is so amazing on MAFS and very easy on the eye!!! Don’t panic I am middle-aged and menopausal so no threat.😜
I could not have predicted how much his episodes would resonate with me and help me and my close friends and family. I have experienced a number of life changing experiences and you sometimes feel like you are being singled out and going through it alone but this shows that is not true.
Paul is so educational and accessible. I love that he is vulnerable and shares his experiences of being an American in the UK and showing we are all really the same underneath it all. Thank you Paul!!! I would speak to you any day, anytime.

Hard to vocalise how much I love this podcast….
