“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 »

“What a great lady Belinda is, not only having the guts to be able to talk about such a tragic passing of her partner but to come out and help so many other people in the emergency service not only here in Australia, but overseas as well.
Well done John in putting this episode on and as always...”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..”

“Honestly this is such a good podcast. I love it how cocky John is ripping in to those leaving bad reviews, I’ll give you a custom 10 star review John if you jump on either the nuganhand bank of the Atherton double murder in the early 90s.”

“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 »
