The host has lost his way
This is an important story in Australian crime history, but it’s been handled poorly and without respect. The host is very leading in his interviews, often prompting and guiding the narrative. It’s also clear that the conversations have been rehearsed because he refers to details that haven’t as yet been shared. His own monologues are stilted, like he is reading from a script he is unfamiliar with. The worst of this is the disrespect shown to both the victims and people in the background. He refers to women Vince was with in such base terms like ‘a prostitution and alcoholic’ but the men get very detailed descriptors. I stopped at his retelling of the girls deaths. These were children and the horror of their last moments, and those of their mother are read out as sensationalist fodder, rather than with any respect for them or any remaining family. The podcast is about the host and has no space for the real people that suffered. It’s a wannabe of The Teachers Pet.

As someone who has worked in Forensics this podcast described the psychopathy of Vince O Dempsey very accurately. A harrowing insight into the world of a modern day boogeyman.

Well done Matt. You’ve put a lot of work into this and the result is incredible.

Look, I get it, having an interview with most of these thugs brings something to the podcast, but these interviews should be shown in TV with subtitles. Absolutely incomprehensible, making the podcast incredibly frustrating. Giving up after 3rd episode, duck these interviews.
