Enthralling Cultural Immersion
It’s not just the story and passion for journalism that is captivating by Isla Traquair. She creates a total cultural immersion which paints a glimpse into Scotland in the 1960s, provoking thoughts of culture, sexuality, ideals and technology that help deduce true crime and murder. She can’t help but turn up the heat with this story!!
Wow O Wow!
This was my first podcast and what a great way to start the journey. Isla is an amazing storyteller - been hooked and gripped since episode one. Please keep making!
FANTASTIC podcast!!
I’ve never done a podcast review, and I listen to a ton of true crime podcasts. Isla and her podcast is HANDS DOWN the best I have listened to. She is awesome. Not only in her telling of the story, but her interviews and the way she’s able to communicate with the people within the story, whether on the victim side or whether on the perpetrator side, is a skill many lack. I love it!!
