Customer Reviews
Engrossing
Superb podcast. Extremely thorough ad detailed. Brilliantly told and well researched. Had me still undecided by the end. This is a must binge podcast. Gripping story with a plot that could only be true. Otherwise you wouldn’t believe it.
Best binge listen for years
As well researched, presented and produced as Serial. Also equally unbiased. One minute you think Jeff did it, the next you’re not so sure and then you’re certain he didn’t.
The one thing that is never explained which has driven me insane is why no-one heard the gunshots. However, don’t let this put you off. It is fascinating and another worrying example of the US cumbersome and flawed legal system.

Great podcast. Host is one smart and talented story organiser. Only suggestion is to curtail the background music...not needed as host has beautiful voice.
