“Was very interested in the S3 topic, but the melodramatic sound design makes this unlistenable. Sound design should support the story, not distract from it. The literal choices here (story mentions chickens? Chicken noises! Story mentions airplanes? Airplane noises!) plus the intrusive music make...”Read full review »

“Great story, great characters almost ruined by the narrator. She sounds like an over zealous primary school teacher trying to really emphasise everything to six year olds. At times I thought she was auditioning for the old ‘Fast Forward’ TV show. The story holds all the drama, no need for the...”Read full review »

“I binged Series 2 in an evening and was absolutely riveted by such an amazing story of survival. Piia’s voice is so well suited to this kind of storytelling and I found her such a compelling narrator. She has a natural warmth and regard for the people she is both talking to and about. I never...”Read full review »

“I’ve just finished all 4 episodes and I loved - it. I thought piia did a great job as the narrator - it was well paced - easy to follow and gripping.
Thanks mick for finally telling your story - it’s one that deserves to told by someone who had been through it all. I reckon it should be a movie...”Read full review »

“Amazing story, clearly well researched. Narrator has a lovely voice but speaks REALLY slowly . Weird and frustrating.
Again - why is the host speaking so slowly when narrating but doesn’t when she’s interviewing/talking to guests ?
It’s as if she’s speaking to a deaf elderly relative and sooo...”Read full review »
