“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 😊”

“Cara McGoogan’s series are truly gripping and bring to life a shameful aspect of police practice and of the pharmaceutical industry.

“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 »

“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 »

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 »

“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.
