Too one sided

The journalists are on the side of the Foster parent, it’s not a fair assessment. Don’t get it
Poor journalism

I found this very biased and also went on far too long. The host really does love the sound of his own voice. I think if you’re able to more succinctly tell a store it will have more impact and reach more people.
Excellent investigative journalism

Just finished S2 and it was brilliant. Such careful and considered investigative journalism, really put the effort in to not taking sides, just laying out all the facts.
More factual journalism please

I was looking forward to this podcast, especially the covering of the Colonial inquest and went into it fairly broad minded but we have yet another podcast firmly in the foster mothers corner and lots of personal opinion from Dan. This is not investigative journalism. On paper the Fosters just look so good, wealthy, attractive, educated and successful but that doesn’t a parent make. Where is your factual investigation of all the parties involved, the police messed up but so did all the other agencies and the media Williams story needs to be told by someone of the calibre of Hedley Thomas, an unbiased rounded inquiry instead of this ode to the Fosters.
