Customer Reviews
A great listen
Very throughly researched and well presented. The repetition is for those that aren’t the best at keeping up.
Worth subscribing to.
Two stars
Not the greatest podcast overall it seems to lack substance.
That said, Jack Murphy was an abhorrent P#%*£ and this really did come through
No Story, No Podcast
There must have been a time when this production team thought “we haven’t uncovered anything, our leads came to nothing and we don’t have a story, we really should bin this rubbish ”....and then they decided to press on anyway. But if you like filler instead of substance, this Podcast might be for you.
