“I am enjoying the storytelling, pace and the subject matter, but also finding it rather hard to feel too much sympathy for upper class women with dubious nicknames, Fipsi and Huey, who could afford therapy in their 20s.”

“Grace Hughes-Hallett has produced some of the best top class documentaries and coupled with Tortoise M this is a n1 world class listening. For me though, and that’s just me perhaps, I’m finding it a bit difficult to feel wholeheartedly sorry for these incredibly privileged women. Super posh...”Read full review »

“Just finished “Pig Iron,” reported by Basia Cummings. I have been jumping around the seasons and this was the 3rd, and by far the favorite season, so far. What a heartbreaking and fascinating story. As emotional as it was at times, I didn’t tear up until the closing quote by Christopher....”Read full review »

“Phenomenal podcast. You might think “I don’t really care about some exporter of illegal chemicals in the 80s,” but the creators of this show weave all their interviews and research into an absolutely gripping tale of how middlemen who supply brutal regimes escape from justice. It’s also a close...”Read full review »

“I’ve enjoyed this podcast up until this series. The amount of parents who are clearly unable in supporting their children and their feelings around identity is staggering. Why don’t you talk to any children or young people who are the children of these unsupportive parents? It’s clear the trans...”Read full review »

“Why did you only start to ask questions in the last episode? Only depicted from the ‘victim’s’ pov. She was complicit. This is lazy one sided journalism lacking in empathy and understanding.”

“If the Amber Heard episodes were framed as part of a study in online influence, etc, I would’ve been more prone to listen more.
What I heard walks a very fine line at almost accusing the jury of misconduct by insinuating that they were swayed by social media and NOT by the evidence presented to...”Read full review »

“Amber Heard’s unconvincing testimony doomed her in court regardless of what online campaign was waged. Ultimately this series is frustrating, misleading and kind of silly because this isn’t addressed upfront in the first episode. It’s like they’ve taken Heard’s side from the start so you really...”Read full review »

“To say Amber lost because of bots is a red herring. Take all the bots’ opinions away - heck, take all legit accounts’ opinions away - and your left with Amber’s own words and the evidence at trial. This podcast feels like a pathetic media campaign attempt but I guess what else can she do?”
