Customer Reviews
First Class Journalism
Rach and the team should be so proud of both these fascinating and expertly researched and narrated cases. Thank you Trace.
Wow. Amazing Journalism & Story
This series, Trace, was a fascinating story of such a sad and pointless Australian murder in the 1980’s.
The host has poured her heart and soul into the investigation of this crime, long after Police had stopped.
A well produced podcast that will grab the attention of any true crime listener.
Breath of fresh air
What a great podcast. Rachael is professional and articulate in her hosting role. Keep up the great work.
