Customer Reviews
I will always Think Foleys First!
Great resource, well done for pioneering.
Slick then stilted
I had high hopes for this podcast series. The members of the bar are, not surprisingly, often excellent presenters. But the intro for the shows with a “voice artist” is tacky. Then the substantive content, which I was going would be conversational, is a barrister reading a piece of research. Well done to Foleys for putting out this series. Shame it wasn’t done better.
Great Effort Foleys
