Fantastic podcast. Dan, you told the story very well and your voice is incredibly soothing. The only things I could say negatively about this is it didn’t seem long enough, I got through the whole thing in one evening and that still no one has been charged in relation to this crimes. In my opinion I think Jay is guilty. I would love to hear that this goes back to court one day. Peace and love to the families.

Any podcast that brings the untold story of our missing and murdered Indigenous people into the light deserved 5 stars. As a nation we should be ashamed.

Great podcast, well presented. However, ads pop up mid sentence. Surely that can be edited better. 5/5 👍🏼
A story that needs to be heard

This is a well-told story that exposes just one of the many tragic injustices that continue to be perpetrated against Aboriginal people in Australia. But I’m curious if anyone bothered to check the ad placements? In Episode 1 there is an ad break literally in the middle of a sentence! I found this particularly insensitive and disrespectful given the delicate subject matter. I understand that ads are a fair trade-off for people who don’t pay for content, but do they really have to be shoved in wherever? At least have the decency to find a natural break in the show to put the ads.
