I found this podcast by accident when doing a search on the Tupac trial… I just wanted general info on who what when where and why. It was during the first days of the trial and I knew nothing except Tupac had been an icon in rap who was gunned down by someone & no one had ever been charged in 30 years. In minutes I became a subscriber & even went back months to the Diddy trial just to fill in the gaps there. I’m an American, a writer, with live on-air tv experience,who spent several years in UK. I used to do voiceovers/ promos for BBC. Point being I have a critical ear for excellence & quality journalism without all the sensationalistic garbage that accompanies every notable trial. What I love most about her coverage is her matter of fact delivery, without any of the hypothetical scenarios or random conspiracy theories, so many reporters fill the time with, especially in Podcasts so they can hit the required timestamp, that gets them additional monetization! She only speculates about possible witnesses or options that the defense or prosecution has to work with. Her guests are relevant folks with knowledge in the law or justice system who comment on possibilities, things omitted that you wouldn’t think would be legal techniques, etc.. or folks personally connected to the victims or those on trial. She explains clearly rulings or legal situations that come into play, & if she doesn’t know the answer to something she finds out rather than inserting any bs possibilities. Her updates are brief, to the point, hitting every relevant detail for each day’s coverage. She does her homework with background info that is helpful in explaining why certain witnesses answer a certain way… as a writer I’m a perfectionist when it comes to good grammar, pronunciations, clarity. Yes she’s a Brit but actually knows how to pronounce the name of the state involved with many of the trials…NEVADA! I bring this up because I lived in Nevada for a while and like most of this country I mispronounced it or did until I moved there. It is not pronounced NIH-VAH-duh, which residents were Quick to correct me on when I settled there. It is pronounced Nih-VAA-duh, with the middle syllable, said like ack or slam or waah (as in the crying of a baby)… I get annoyed when reporters or journalists on the air, pronounce the state with the middle syllable being AHH, like open your mouth and say AHH. She is a pro in every way & manages to get right what the majority of🇺🇸 gets wrong about our own states. I have multiple interests so subscribe to 60+ podcasts on different topics. I never fast fwrd through her uploads the way I do many others. I’m currently listening to her Russell Brand coverage taking place in UK as I’m used to her coverage of stateside trials… the difference in the judicial procedures between us and UK is remarkable & even when I lived there, I had little knowledge on why they did things the way they did. Anoushka has educated me & all listeners to those differences.
5 ⭐️ for BBC & 5 ⭐️ for AMD. If I could give her 10, I would & only wish she had her own show daily for the downtime when there are no notable trials to cover.
