Customer Reviews
ONE OF THE BEST
Brilliant story.......and so terribly sad, my heart goes out to everyone. Superb production and professionally delivered. Hosts are excellent. Well researched, it’s a pity so much evidence is out of touch and certain individuals won’t talk with the team.
Brilliant
Glad someone else is taking over after Eli. Fight for them both now.
Hosts are great and the show is very informative.
My heart goes out to both families
Shambolic
I’m sorry, I wanted to like this but it’s shambolic. With what seems like no new real info or evidence, they’re reduced to complete speculation and cod-analysis of words used. This includes the spectacularly awful line by one contributor that, whilst they have no evidence of domestic violence, ‘that didn’t mean it didn’t happen’. Staggering.
They spend 10 mins of one episode investigating what turns out to be the wrong house and the wrong death! And have the nerve to put that in the podcast. Pretend radio is brilliant, but this is just poor on multiple levels.
