Customer Reviews
The Pro-Bono Elephant in the Room
All references of the pro bono lawyer, who was apparently ‘ride or die’ for this family are gone, without a shred of explanation. You know that just makes us want to know what happened. Mr Lavac has obviously made it clear his name or any reference cannot be used forthwith, but why?
Going foreword I hope the family finds peace, but these latest episodes just feel odd.
Good reporting but terrible editing
I found it to be a very interesting and intriguing pod which has clearly been researched and reported well. Sadly, the editing really affected how eager I was about tuning in. There are so many harsh “S” sounds throughout which are uncomfortable on the ear and there is also a slight echo. Additionally, there is often loud music laid over poor quality audio such as Bobby Lee’s contributions, which made it even more difficult to follow. I’m not sure why this was done but it really affected my listening.
Where has Peter Lavac gone?
Why isn’t Peter involved any more? He added so much to this podcast.
