So good

I used to be in emergency services so can relate to some of this.
Amazingly told, so much empathy shown.
Well done.

Brilliant Narration

Listening to this podcast brought chills to my bone, love to my heart and most importantly, empathy to all those involved. I binged it in a day and will listen to it again.
Loved the narration and musical overtures.

Big River Country

Big River country, a site we’ve all past while visiting family, heading to the holiday van park or visiting the popular Jacaranda Festival. We’re the lucky ones! This story is haunting, and horrifying at times, yet had to be told, to understand the true nature of suffering, these all too familiar incidents have on the victims, emergency services, doctors , nurses and the community. Congratulations to the Daily Examiner team on a brilliantly constructed and the highly polished delivery of this harrowing tale.
