Customer Reviews
Loved the Amanda Knox interview - thank you :)
I had only seen the doco and watched the news as it happened. It was great to hear her speak and see what she’s up to now - I’ll definitely listen to Labyrinth :)
Sooo good!
Spencer is the best. This show is short, sweet, and perfect for my daily commute.

You are my cult litre Spencer
