Well done, Mr. Donaldson. This podcast is riveting. A thoughtful, compassionate, and thorough investigation into the compelling mystery of an unidentified child and the history of discrimination against Scotland’s Traveler community. Or, inelegantly, ‘this’ll make you think thoughts and feel feelings.’ All around, an A+ piece of journalism. Do yourself a favour - listen to this podcast.

I’m moved. More enlightened and deeply saddened by the sunlight shown on the depravity and cruelty experienced by a group of people I knew nothing about. I’m also equally grateful for the knowledge, awareness and compassion this stirred in me. Well done. And an honorable sharing of a tragic story.
Love the accents & host

What a lovely and gripping piece of investigation. How lovely to be loved in death and kept by a settled town joining these communities together. A unique tale and very emotional.
