Well-informed but poorly presented.

“I don’t think I’m saying anything new here that other commenters haven’t already noted, but I found this podcast in equal parts frustrating and fascinating. The content was well-researched and well-collated (though I would expect that from two major Australian journalists). It went deep into Melissa Caddick’s past, drawing a line of her crimes and misdemeanours earlier from earlier her career to the fraud that blew up in her face.
However, I could have done without all the sensationalism and smug laughter from the hosts. This crime was no joke, and it deserved to be treated as more than a pearl-clutching bit of scandal. I was dismayed that a serious look at the impact on the victims was saved for the last half of the last episode.
If you can look past the worst of it, this is actually an incredibly informative podcast. And it should be, given Kate McClymont has been on this case for years. I just wish they hadn’t sneered their way through ten episodes.”

The giggling, the back slapping, the teasers that ‘there will be more in future episodes’, the editing, etc. I will listen to E2 to give...”Read full review »

Excellent podcast and investigative journalism.”
