Is there an issue with the second bonus episode? Half the sound seems to be so quiet as to be unintelligible 😭

Loved this podcast but how unprofessional to release with sound issues. Really disappointing end to a brilliant podcast.
Loved this podcast from 30 seconds in!

I was expecting a story about a murder. What I wasn’t expecting was to be laughing out loud along the way. The characters in this pod are so warm and funny (not necessarily intentionally!) and it’s really well researched and presented. Listened to the whole lot in a day!
Great Podcast 👍🏻

Very well told story! Poor Paddy, and Kelly the dog! Don't like to point fingers but Fran hated Paddy and she's the only person to have a meat mincer and a pie business!! Oh dear! At least man & dog went together, would have been sadder for one to be left without the other! Great podcast, everyone should give it a go! R.I.P Paddy & Kelly 🌹 🦴
