“A hit piece on Musk that is politically motivated. Listened to the first one and lost interest. It’s weak and who cares if the world’s richest man has private detectives.”

“Why have i spent hours of my life listening to your efforts to humiliate a man whose ego was wrestling his decency. Whether he deserves it or not i have no idea but it feels like you’ve taken advantage of someone while they were down. You haven’t invested corporate espionage or asbestos, and you...”Read full review »

“I listened to Walter’s war-it began very catchingly and described very well the annoying level of security breaches between AI startups and US military, but I was much more interested in the human aspect of this confidence trickster. Who he really is and how he could get away with his lies in his...”Read full review »

“To the season 4 host - you did so much virtue signaling to avoid acknowledgment of your transphobia in this season, but it was still very obvious and harmful. You treated the transphobic sources with kindness and compassion, but you were critical and deliberately lacking in understanding with...”Read full review »

I think the exploration of consent in these episodes is such a crucial conversation, especially when age and power/influence are taken into...”Read full review »

“Season 13 is a terrible piece of journalism, in my opinion. The only valid piece if information is that Neil Gaiman is a slimy old rich guy. Other than that, what’s the story?!?! Women of age had unpleasant sexual experiences with him. Welcome to the real world! Some experiences will be (highly)...”Read full review »

“Yet another thoughtful, sensitive, and thorough investigation by Tortoise — who are quickly becoming my favourite podcasting co. Truly eye-opening stuff on a very pressing matter that is shaping our world without many of us even realising it.”

“So interesting. Well researched. Don’t like the Amber series. It’s been so covered and really, who cares about these two people and their peccadillos. They’re both obnoxious. Didn’t finish amber. Tedious. Will listen to other in this”

“Very interesting story and well read but episodes felt to “current affair-ish” and repetitive. Although repetitive, I would still lose track of who was being interviewed because there was no clear direction to where the story came from or was going, it was all over the place.”

“I enjoy these stories and they are generally presented well. However, as a licensed psychotherapist it is sad to me that there are several highly regarded professional bodies that are completely disregarded here. Only the BACP is being represented (and advertised!?) which is very shortsighted....”Read full review »

“I really like the storytelling. Very compelling. That’s why it doesn’t need that amount of music. At some point I got an headache from it, especially because its the same piece of music again and again. Way too repetitive and sooo dramatic. If you want to use soooo much music maybe use at least...”Read full review »

A frightening yet poignant look at how energy healing gone wrong can take over lives and spill into cultishness, removing young and...”Read full review »

“As a podcast true crime advocate since day one. I’ve just latched onto this one. Initial impressions are good, I’m always dubious when there is more than one presenter. It then has potential to become a platform for two friends to get together, break bread and uncork a good white before regaling...”Read full review »

“Phenomenal podcast.

It’s also a close...”Read full review »
