“What a brilliant format for telling this extraordinary tale of E and rave culture from the back end of the 80s. The podcast has some great contributors and the story is well told. However what REALLY bugged me was Warbuton’s deeply conservative overtones casting long shadows editorially over the content. In my experience, and that of my mates over 20 years of raving have never had a problem with ecstasy. And compared with the number of alcohol related deaths it’s fair to say E is a relatively safe drug. That’s not to say there aren’t deaths or lives and families are destroyed by E and the gang related culture behind it, but for Warburton to keep harping on, on this point is actually subverting the truth. I’d like to have heard a far more honest drugs debate particularly in regard to prohibition and and the law, and the impact on the lives of those working in the drugs business. I felt John was an excellent contributor, as was Danny yet their voices felt somewhat stifled by Warburton’s clearly establishment (BBC) conservative voice. I found this very frustrating as I think it gives people the wrong idea about this extraordinary (and wonderful) drug.”

“This was a thoroughly well researched podcast which tapped in to the good and bad aspects of the rave scene during the late 80’s early 90’s, keep up the good work BBC would like to hear one about the 90’s britpop explosion which followed - oasis blur etc”
