“The presenter is simply awful. Stilted language, stupid opinions, grade A bootlicker.
Season 6 proves these dirty pigs act just as illegally as criminals (only worse cuz they act all high minded). Buncha pervs spending their whole day listening in to stranger’s phone calls.
Ewwww”

“This is a fascinating story which would have been more compelling if it wasn’t stretched into 6 episodes. Sound bites and quotes from interviewees are repeated over and over, the encrochat word repeated in various voices as a filler is really irritating. For me it would have made a great radio...”Read full review »

“The Encro chat story has been fascinating but the narrator Mobeena Charr clearly needs to stop reading from a script. As much as it was interesting he really did sound boring at times with his rather monotone voice. Where is the lively and exciting to listen to Livy Haydock gone?who did series...”Read full review »

“So far it’s great. But the 4th ‘episode’ is actually just a 2minute promo which is very annoying! So in reality it’s a 5 part podcast not 6 (assuming that the rest are full episodes)!”

“A good subject spoiled by too much repeating itself, unnecessary sound effects and dramatising.
It’s a factual podcast, not a crime drama. Treat it as such.
All I want to hear are the facts, not all of the other sensationalising rubbish and constant time wasting repeating.
I don’t need to...”Read full review »

So many podcasters could learn so much from how Livvy constructs and...”Read full review »
