News of the mysterious deaths of billionaire Canadian pharma giant Barry Sherman and his philanthropist wife Honey in December 2017 reverberated around the world. Five years later, with no arrests and little news from the police, their deaths remain shrouded in mystery and conspiracy theories, with too many lingering questions. Not just who killed them, but what kind of life do you have to live that when you’re found dead, there are multiple theories, including some involving your own family? That’s the question journalist Kathleen Goldhar set out to discover, in The No Good, Terribly Kind, Wonderful Lives and Tragic Deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman, as she explores who the Shermans really were and why too much money might have been what killed them in the end.

    Loved it!!
    I loved this podcast. Host was fantastic! I could’ve listed to 10 more episodes.
  • KateJessie
    Second episode
    So far I am hooked by the journalistic excellence. My heart breaks for this couple and the terror they endured.
  • Ashmick27
    Nope
    You lost me at chapter 6.

    Maybe I’m Wrong
    I thought it was mentioned pretty early on that this podcast would not draw conclusions just present what was found. So an employee of the Sherman’s who works at their home and is privy to all sorts of information gives his opinion that the cause of death may be related to the government trying to quash Barry’s interference in Covid relief. Nope. Not going to discuss it because it doesn’t fit her narrative or political leanings. What an open mind! Do yourself a favor and listen to a true journalist view on the subject. Not this garbage.

    Wow, not very good…..
    I was so excited to listen to this , but it became pretty evident early on where this was going…. It’s seems so obvious what happened here, and the most LOGICAL theory is the one that the podcaster ridiculed as “conspiracy”. I felt it was naïve to think that a nefarious party, like Big Pharma, could not possibly be responsible for this. This man took great pride in his wealth and ego, he didn’t commit suicide. I don’t think the cousin was smart enough to pull this off, although his anger was definitely suspect, and he does possess motive. I don’t think he was cunning enough… I was hoping they WOULD explore the ivermectin motive, because it really seems like the most logical choice……sounds like the yard man knew more than ANYONE involved. He was in the home the most, his information was just disregarded….shame

    What’s her name?
    I was finding this interesting until the narrator, speaking about Gabby Petito, called her “what’s her name from last year” when discussing online sleuthing. How incredibly disrespectful to her loved ones and memory. At least have the decency to edit a line like that. Complete lack of compassion for people who are victims of crime.

    Great podcast!
    Great podcast! Very informative and a lot of new information.

    Had to let us know her politics
    One of these days, these leftists will learn they can produce a show w/o letting us know their politics. Don’t waste your time.
  • Numerican
    Meh
    It's an OK podcast. The sound levels are kind of off, so when the host is talking, it's very quiet, and when anybody else is talking, it's pretty loud. Continuously having to adjust the volume. Also, the whole second episode is the son just droning on and on. You could basically skip that episode, and be fine.

    Binged It
    Extremely well done podcast. Once I started listening I couldn’t stop.
  • huenew
    Balanced
    Intelligent. Added drama is unnecessary, as the story is allowed to speak for itself; the professionals speak for themselves. I recommend both podcasts of this complex tragedy. The downside is the cousin in the last two episodes. A classic, completely, totally, terribly self-delusional hyper-verbal addict.
  • CapeGirlx
    Very compelling
    Once I started the podcast, I couldn’t stop listening. Great job wonderful reporter.. of course the letdown is we don’t know who did it . . .
  • Zoe Monsta
    Excellent!
    I’ve been searching for a Podcast about the Sherman murders for quite a while now, and was excited when I stumbled across another podcast on this topic, but was pretty underwhelmed. Then I found this one and immediately binged the entire season. Just my opinion, but this one is hands-down far better than the first one I listened to. Well researched, informative, easy to follow and honestly covered far more than the original podcast I listened to in half the episodes. I’m just sad that it’s over.
  • KiandRob

  • Gorgeous crown
    This is
    Better than the other Sherman podcast
  • Det. Somerset
    Mediocre, Underwhelming
    There is some original reporting in this podcast - for example, the interviews with Winter, the ex pharma spy - but otherwise, this is largely a retread of what has come before it and does not offer any kind of different or new flavor than what has already been put out into the market place. The tone was completely off for me - at times, it adhered to the natural darkness within this saga, which was welcome, while at others it was a happy go lucky community story. I argue this deserving of a Jo Nesbo type story with a reporter in the rain and dark alleyways tracking down *new* leads and acquiring inside information. The author only acquires very few pieces of new information, so sadly, I didn’t see a reason for this to exist. I applaud the effort but this did not have the execution it needed to have to achieve an exceptional rating.
  • EdmondsKat
    Excellent
    A doozy of a case to take on, Kathleen and her team tackle it one step at a time, with lots of shades of colour nicely filling in the background. Highly enjoyable listening.

    Boring
    How can this case be boring? Somehow this was accomplished. Avoid.
