“Dear Sly of the Underworld aka Mr Sylvester
First class podcast from a first class crime journalist
I can only surmise the biggest crime of all is that you are yet to win a deserved walkley
Perhaps you could lean on Mick Gatto to remedy this terrible injustice?
In all seriousness your podcast...”Read full review »

“If you go back and read the last page of Chapter 1, Underbelly 3, this recent development appears to be awfully twisted. Makes you think there may be a relationship to something or Someone Greek, other than the allegedly accused person.”

“Amazing stories told so well, some unbelievable, some sinister, some of pure evil, some of heroes and some so terribly sad.
The story of Ron Fenton was very touching.
Keep the stories coming John.”

“A heart wrenching (and warming)story of a courageous policeman who went on to do so much for his colleagues.
The police family had a lot to do with his survival, and of course the former inmate who trained his therapy dog later in his life. The fact that the dog was a Labrador made total...”Read full review »

“Some of the stories make me feel sick, some I’ve cried, some I’ve told others about..so clearly it’s a must listen and I’m having to pace myself so I don’t run out of episodes! Thoroughly enjoying, I’m a big fan of shorter podcasts & engaging stories .. ticks all the boxes.”

“I’ve just discovered podcasting’s hidden treasure. The episode from a year ago; ‘The good people who stare down evil’ has had me, for the first time, in tears at any podcast. What a woman Carmel is. I’m beyond touched. John, is also a fantastic host. I’m speechless. The greatest lesson in dignity...”Read full review »

“Great show sly…. Great content..
but not nearly enough of it..
64 episode in 5 seasons is squeezing the Tim tams a bit isn’t it? Ruler has done over 300..
please make more content as quickly as possible as let’s be honest your not getting any younger…
Great show though..”

“Disgusting how so many of these cases you donot even bother to get both sides. I’m aware of a two very high profile cases where someone involved contacted you and asked to do a live (not pre recorded) interview with you, and you didn’t want a bar of it.
Disgraceful how you mislead the public....”Read full review »
