Customer Reviews
So well done.
I can’t tell you how amazing your journalism in this case is. You didn’t sensationalise the telling of Emma’s story but you did bring me to tears on more than one occasion. Emma was central to the podcast as she should be. The courage of all those ladies and the restraint shown by the wronged police officers was told in such a dignified way. Thank you and your colleagues so much for your professionalism.
Fantastic journalism
This is journalism of the highest caliber, a massive congratulations to the whole team on this! So many true crime podcasts feel like stories, this felt like evidence that deeply mattered … which it did! A must listen for so many reasons from social injustice to jaw dropping negligence! Well done again for helping these women and their families find justice.
What a podcast
Very much enjoyed listening to this podcast. You can hardly believe it took so long. Bad apples in every walk of life. I do hope the public enquire exposes all concerned in this case & are dealt with correctly for the sake of Emma & her family.
