“Fascinating podcast, produced brilliantly as only the BBC can do. All I can say is that I am pleased that the charity was investigated by those brave individuals and exposed for the disgusting fraud it was!”

“Jamie B does some amazing podcasts for the BEEB.
A very sad story about a desperately sad young woman. It’s so disappointing to hear about people’s kindness and support for our amazing UK charity sector being abused but she and her mum are not the first and won’t be the last. Unsure why the...”Read full review »

“Such an eye opening podcast, very well reported . Binge listened which I don’t normally do . There’s another podcast (American ) called Nobody Should Belive Me which also investigate the same issues. The mist frightening thing about all this us that this is way more common than any of us realise .”

“I find the subject fascinating in a morbid way but I am left wondering why they didn’t mention her father. Shouldn’t have contacted him to find out when and why he was estranged from Megan and ask if he had any suspicions. And if not explain why they didn’t.”

“Exquisitely reported.
A "simple" idea unlocks such an extraordinary and quietly, roaring tale.
Clinical and dignified; careful to keep a cool head where sensationalism could have been easy.”Read full review »

“The failure of this podcast is not to have asked this. A young girl does not die of a “fatty liver”. Obviously the question did he mother kill her is potentially libellous but it is also the OBVIOUS one. Were you warned off by the lawyers? BBC? Why was there no attempt to go behind the...”Read full review »
