Customer Reviews
Good series, too many ads!
This was interesting, with a good pace and dramatic events but the balance of ads to content is annoying-so many ads for a half hour podcast!
Intriguing story and always good narration by Alice
My only confusion is the link between Jayne Gaskin and Maria and Frank? - apart from the tenuous link of protecting indigenous people it seems these are two separate stories? - I was hoping Jayne and Maria would be linked in some way and come together at the end of the story but they didn’t. - would love to hear a follow up from Jayne - also a shame we couldn’t hear from her. That being said, I binged the whole thing so it was definitely gripping.
adverts !!!
the podcast starts and within 1 minute adverts kick in for 2 minutes!
terrible abuse of your listener
