This podcast deserves your attention

This was an excellent piece of investigative journalism, richly researched, meticulously put together with deeply considered writing. I am stunned by the risks the journalists took to put this podcast together. I was genuinely terrified for the witnesses and journalists at times. People who argue there is no evidence
To this story in the reviews clearly have very limited experience in the places and contexts in which these reporters are working. I hope for justice for these girls and for the good people of Panama who deserve better from
Their justice system. Well done.

Just community gossip

No new evidence, just community gossip that the reporters have tried to hype up to justify their trip to Panama

Annoying Host

The host has an incredibly annoying voice. She speaks way too fast - I’m wondering if she’s just naturally excited or the editor has sped up her narration to 1.5X

Whatever, I had to switch off after 2 episodes. Also her feminist undertones through the first few episodes are unnecessary. Just preset the case
