Terrible: Repetitive and unquestioning
I’ve only listened to the first series which I found pretty poor. There is a huge amount repetition which I’ve noticed is a problem with other Times podcasts too. More worryingly, the podcast journalist is completely unquestioning of her main source, the editor Don. My interest was piqued by Matthew Parris saying he found Don had a vivid imagination — this should have been followed up on. How much of what Don tells us, particularly about filmic attempts on his life, can we believe? Nothing he said was ever questioned and no-one else was ever asked about things he said, either to corroborate or dismiss them. In addition, we are told in a late episode of something which the podcast never looks into, but which, if true, would cast a different light on the character of the convicted man. In short, not every story is suitable for a podcast. This was a tragic murder, but unfortunately there is little to say about it and certainly not enough to stretch across this many, long episodes.

The worst part is the illegible tape recordings they insist on playing and the repetition of issues. It’s a shame as...Read full review »
