Excellent podcast

It’s revealing listening to “ Mr Big “scripts emphasizing the need for “honesty” as they effectively “entrap” their suspect by deceit. If “best practice” is important, I hope our Police are also RNZ podcast listeners. Ngā mihi Steven Price and team.

More pathetic rubbish from the manure heap that is Radio NZ

A fine example of the Dunning Kruger Effect, a talentless hack who’s decided he’s an INVESTIGATIVE journalist, Woodward & Bernstein rolled into one. In fact, he couldn’t be trusted to cover a primary school fete. Price obviously has legal training, minimal information distorted and milked out over so many billable minutes, the lies of a criminal accepted uncritically.
The only true crime here is misuse of public funds.

Mr Lyttle meets Mr Big

This is such an interesting podcast series. Steven Price is a great storyteller- he keeps it interesting, clear and thought-provoking throughout. Highly recommend.
