An honest account

Fiona does her best to comment objectively. Clearly this is a terrible tragedy that has, for many years, devastated the lives of this mans loved ones. Fiona is sympathetic, honest whilst at times challenging.

I enjoyed the format of this podcast and was glad to see “the Son” added.

Padding

Presenter whispers and repeats like she’s in the corner of a library. Podcast brings nothing new to the table.

Old news

Very sad story, but this podcast is just a summary, the Host is terribly annoying, trying to set the scene and basically just repeating herself constantly.
This is definitely a 2 episode podcast at best .
