Binge this

Compelling and tragic story, sensitively told. I could listen to the host all day...a beautifully velvet voice!

Excellent

I appreciated the host’s sensitive approach and story-telling...unlike a lot in the genre this podcast didn’t feel exploitative or grubby. Not a heap of breakthroughs, but well put together and honours the life of an intelligent man who deserved better in death.

So much padding and repetition

With much editing it would have made a great 60 minutes with more impact and value. Heartbreaking loss for the family.
