Customer Reviews
My all time favourite show.. horrible but so well made.
Highly recommend!
Amazing podcasts!
A friend of mine recommended this one for me and after listening to the first episode I just got so hooked that I binged all the episodes over two days. Very tough to listen to some places, but so important that information like this gets out in the open for everyone to listen and that among us all there is still a lot of evil to ble fought. Also amazing for me as a Norwegian myself to see how big of an impact VG and two Norwegians had in this case to track down Warhead.
Highly recommended
Disturbing, important and very interesting!
