“This story is fascinating and heartbreaking, it is produced and narrated so well and the music is great. All of this together has probably made it one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to.
It a really eye opening story and I really feel for all those that were involved - it was a ripple effect...”Read full review »

“Keep your finger on the volume broom while listening to this podcast. It is an excellently written and gripping account of a heinous miscarriage of Justice. Unfortunately it is regularly interrupted by loud, obnoxious heavy metal theme music. So unnecessary and really ruins the listening experience.”

“Listened to the first two episodes. So good. A great sound, running seamlessly. I kind of know the story but I can see already that this podcast offers so much more. Can’t wait for the next ep”

Superbly well constructed this podcast entwines the listener with the story throughout and ties all the complex material into a gripping...”Read full review »

“I was born in the Docks in the early 80’s and knew of the story. Listening to it now I can’t believe some of the things that took place. A must listen, such a miscarriage of justice.”

“I have read many books and this podcast is spot on! After watching the documentary I was horrified to see how these people were treated. The best podcast I’ve heard. Would love to hear more about Welsh crimes like Geraldine Paulk”

“If you liked ‘when they see us’ then you will love this. I couldn’t stop listening. It’s hard to hear at times, I felt really frustrated and angry hearing elements of the story. But well done to the team that made this as it really is a brilliant series.”

“Ceri Jackson has done a stellar job of bringing together all the elements of this complicated historic case. The police of South Wales who were complicit in fitting up the Cardiff 5 should be utterly ashamed but I bet they don’t care how many lives they’ve ruined. I wouldn’t be surprised if the...”Read full review »

“An outstanding, measured and incredibly sensitive and thought provoking exploration of a miscarriage of justice. Also personalising someone previously labelled and almost dismissed just as a “Cardiff Prostitute” made the powerful point that it is all too simple to judge others.”

“So awful for all the 5 men and their families. The injustice and the suffering for all those years undoubtedly caused the early deaths of two of the men and and parents of others.
You can see how easily this can happen and how is must never be allowed to happen again.”

“What a superb series this has been. I used to work near Bute Street when the five were arrested and it seemed to be common knowledge that it was a fit up. It must have been horrendous for the five and they have never really got justice. Thankyou for highlighting this absolute miscarriage of justice”

“Loved this podcast but was very sad and made me really angry:(
Still hard to believe that this happened. Awful the way the victim kept being referred to as a prostitute, she was a young woman first and foremost.
The ‘investigation’ signifies the worse kind of behaviour, just deplorable really....”Read full review »

“A multi faceted factual (!) account of tragic events. Which hugely begs why no one, in the law, has been held to account. I wish the book of the lead police officer who investigated the corruption could also be heard, to get some closure for more impacted individuals. Let this not be the last...”Read full review »

“I listened to this podcast months ago but I still think about it regularly. I’d never heard the story before and I still can’t believe it isn’t a national scandal. I really hope there is a documentary/film made about this case. The story needs to be told to as many as possible.”
