Customer Reviews
Great content if you are interested in financial crime!
I really enjoyed because it explains how these crimes are committed
Shedding light on the finicial swamp
Great insight and breakdown. Thanks for the effort and time of researching and compiling this!
Great content, scripted delivery
Graham and Ray are real pros digging into fascinating substance with clear expertise and integrity. This mix of private sector insight and social welfare considerations is invaluable to hear. My only criticism is that they’re very clearly reading from a script so the conversation is halting and stilted and makes it difficult to feel engaging. You have to force yourself to pay attention as if you’re reading rather than listening to a discussion. I can understand why they want to choose their words carefully - presumably to avoid legal risks around these sensitive contemporary cases - but it’d be better if they could handle that on the fly and with editing rather than seemingly reading most of the podcast.
