Just finished the podcast. Am in awe of Cara’s excellent storytelling and journalism. Am also truly shocked by the behaviour of the institutions involved in this scandal. This story needs continued attention and to be held up as proof that the mantle of “protecting national security” is so often...Read full review »

The patriarchy is truly a cancer to humanity. The entitlement, the lack of empathy & accountability displayed by the people who are supposed to protect the public is enraging but sadly not a bit surprising. That I’m not surprised at all says a lot about the state of law enforcement as an...Read full review »

What an excellent, empathetic approach to a very emotive subject. Cara is a fantastic narrator and so well written.

What a fantastic podcast. I’m SO angry now…

Well researched and presented, really excellent journalism !

I was interested to hear more following on from the Infected Blood Inquiry and this podcast is a great place to learn more. The breadth of research covered is astounding and it puts people affected by this terrible healthcare disaster front and centre and allows them to tell their tragic stories...Read full review »

@sissarea27 doesn’t believe due to being a college student plasma donor and having a different experience than prisoners, unhoused living in the street, and night clubbers. Don’t assume because it doesn’t happen to you, it doesn’t happen.
MaryLut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/24
This is a riveting, detailed yet very easy to follow podcast about the infected blood scandal, what happened, who it affected and how, and who the blame lies with. Shocking in what it reveals, it tells the stories of some of the people whose lives were irrevocably changed or prematurely ended. It...Read full review »

Fantastic investigation into the infected blood scandal, those affected and those who knew.
rmm66 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/22/24
even more relevant following the enquiry results. but this is from 2021 - if you haven’t listened to it already then you should do so.
Gemma s1982 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/21/24
But excellent reporting and telling of these important stories. Well researched and well told.
LinKS55 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 05/18/24
I really enjoyed this podcast and what an investigation and excellent journalism. Inspiring women who really have been through a lot
Beckyjmac via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 05/05/24
Thank you for high quality journalism and fascinating story
KatyYahont via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 04/24/24
Really enjoyed this podcast. So interesting and shocking.
CarrieUp via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/20/24
Only a few episodes in; fascinating and well done thus far. A big suggestion though- please, please add a trigger warning at the start of each episode briefly mentioning nature of content covered in the podcast. Some incredibly heavy content that warrants addition of TW’s so people can choose...Read full review »

This series was so well researched and presented. It was easy to follow and has educated me on a topic I knew a little about, but not the individual life stories that went with it 😞 A must to listen to, I shall now listen to the first series 😊
noolamary via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/04/24
Cara McGoogan’s series are truly gripping and bring to life a shameful aspect of police practice and of the pharmaceutical industry. Everyone should listen!
Nigel Pargetter fan via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/24/24
Season 1: I still can’t believe this could happen in the UK in my lifetime. The last episode does a fine job of bringing us up to the present, and showing how the tables have turned. Cara is a podcasting prodigy. I’m sure she had help from a good production team. This is one of the all-time...Read full review »

Both series at gripping
Jessr12345 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/26/23
Absolutely heartbreaking how governments and large corporations can treat people with such contempt and disregard but still dodge true justice. A must listen series.
redderdevil via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/16/23
The stories in both seasons (1 and 2) were horrifying. It’s terrible what our fellow man will justify. Season 1 was a bit hard for me to follow at first because the podcast did jump around a bit. But the story was definitely worth listening to. Season 2 did jump around a bit as well but it was...Read full review »

This might be good but I couldn’t by the stupid croaky fake voice
Charlie the Pilot's Pal via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/24/23
So interesting and informative- and incredible to think it happened!
kiwi.k8y via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 10/02/23
S1 is also great but S2 about the infected blood scandal should be listened to by everyone. It was particularly interesting to me as I recently worked in the blood donation service in the UK but even so, I had barely any knowledge of the scandal. Its shocking but not nearly as shocking finding...Read full review »

Of all the podcasts and articles I have listened to and read, this in one of few that will live with me forever. Outstanding reporting, beautifully and sensitively done to the victims of this outrageous scandal. And yet again the pharmaceutical companies seemingly at the forefront putting profit...Read full review »

Wow. So well produced and written. What an as absolutely horrendous story.
caz651 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/16/23
Once again the lid is lifted on what The Establishment does. In reality there’s no accountability for actions that are so damaging to INNOCENT women.
David Rhys via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/06/23
Amazing detail.. Can’t believe this could happen . My heart go’s out to all effected by the greed of others.
ashden124 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/06/23
So much much harm done and for seemingly no reason at all. Such an important story to tell.
Fnifsaa via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/17/23
Great research. Wonderful podcast. First time hearing of this case.
Melee1118 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/23
Brilliant but so sad. You think or wish people in ‘high places’ have the same morals and ethics as you ? well think again. I can see why after listening to this so many people believe in conspiracy theories. Disgraceful, inhuman and criminal. Brilliantly reported. No need for sensationalism coz...Read full review »

Cara is a brilliant journalist, shows sensitivity and care with the people involved while crafting a gripping story. She has exposed two appalling state abuses.
loubs001 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/11/23
This podcast is riveting. Excellent work all round.
Jenn187 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/19/23
So glad I found this podcast, has such a deep level of investigative journalism and they are doing such important work. I’ll wait anxiously for a season 3 (hopefully!!)
Ivyleaf072 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/23
Season 1 is a good reminder that if your boyfriend f----s off with not a thought for you, do not spend one more minute on him. "The not knowing could take your sanity" isnt true; knowing the scale of his betrayal will be MUCH worse.Read full review »

Wow, this is unbelievable! Thank you for educating me about this.
jeffnanna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
Hard story to hear, upsetting and infuriating at times but an important listen and well put together. Nice clear narration with voices of the people in the story included
Abi MacB via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/16/23
As someone who was infected with a blood transfusion it is incredible that someone is finally telling the truth. An uttered heartbreaking series that’s even more so because it actually happened. I know because I am one of the people it happened to. I can not recommend this podcast enough....Read full review »

This is a frustrating listen for anyone other than hysterical green leftists. These people are basically terrorist organisations who aim to cause significant damage to both public and private infrastructure. They then have the gall to clutch their pearls in horror that the authorities will throw...Read full review »
Swisspaynie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/12/23
Wow! I had no idea. This is heartbreaking. And the worst thing is that with no one taking responsibility, no lessons are learned. Great investigation. Hope the publicity leads to some answers.
Rszmig via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/08/23
This is one of the best podcasts I have listened to. Faultlessly delivered and what became clear, well researched. It’s content undeniably sad and a reminder to how we blindly trust that the medical industry, scientists and pharmaceutical companies know what they are doing, and sometimes they...Read full review »
TidypantryNOW via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/05/23
A “journalist” who laughs at her sources who don’t agree with her agenda is not worth listening to despite the possible truth behind the story. Also can’t help but stop listening as the plasma industry is soooo dramatized. I donated in college and the way it is described here, makes me laugh. It...Read full review »

This is an important podcast that needs to be heard world wide.
GiraffeInACup via Apple Podcasts · Botswana · 01/27/23
Amazing podcast, shocking story. Scary that these things happened so recently and just as frightening things of a similar level still are happening. Also fab to give these women a platform to share their stories. No amount of compensation can make up for the deceit, lies and betrayal. Can’t even...Read full review »

This story was WILD. I loved every second of it and I feel so much for those women affected by this great miscarriage of justice. I mean wow.
hippyeloise via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
This podcast has blown my mind! How more people don’t know about this scandal and what went on is shocking. Well done to Cara, the team at the telegraph and everyone who told their story in the hopes it might stop this from ever happening again. I’m recommending this podcast to everyone I know.
