“I’m sure there’s a good story here but the writer and narrators inability to identify it and deliver it are a real let down.
Where other podcasts use twists and cliffhangers to engage the audience, this podcast makes every event that ever happened to the subject out to be a monumental, horrific...”Read full review »

“The content is great but the sound mixing is terrible. Super tinny, random music that is louder than it needs to be, horrible background sound effects that are totally unnecessary and interviews that are such poor quality, they should not be used. Sound makes me want to not listen.”

“It’s very close to my heart given that I grew up in Brisbane & used to hang around Billy Phillip’s tattoo shop in my younger days. I actually met Vince a few times & didn’t like or trust him straight away. Then I was told that he was a rapist & a few other things. I didn’t want to...”Read full review »

“A high quality production with even higher quality content. Shocking, genuinely will never forget this story.
I am glad I have listened to this but it was uncomfortable at time yes. There is plenty of warning. I respect true stories and had to keep listening to find out what happened.

“Binge-worthy podcast. Captivating, and also enraging about the widespread corruption and lack of justice for victims. However, I found the discussion of domestic violence a bit victim blamey. There was a whole discussion about ‘why didn’t she leave’. Cringe. Fear of death or harm to loved ones?...”Read full review »

It’s...”Read full review »

“I kept waiting for a revelation that never came.
Other than the crimes the subject has already been convicted of, the author big on hype ( claiming over 100 murders )
and low on evidence.
Ultimately unsatisfying.”
