“I really enjoyed this podcast even though it was hard to listen to at times. I loved the fact that it was so to the point and not repetitive. Some podcasts rehash the same info over and over. This one doesn’t. Owen Bennett-Jones reported it so well and his voice is perfect. Thanks for all your...”Read full review »

“This was a piece of journalism right from the top tier. Brilliantly produced and put together, the unique cultural and political context explained brilliantly for the ordinary Joe. Although a tragic tale, it’s not one devoid of hope as Benazir Bhutto defiance and fortitude will remain a source...”Read full review »

“An excellent piece of investigative work. Methodical. It also highlights mendacity of Pakistan’s populace, how inured have they become to jihadi attacks and every section of society is complicit.Unfortunate but true. Terrorist infrastructure has to be kept intact come what may”

“A very important piece of Pakistans history. Would have given 5 stars but for the annoyingly pompous narration by the journalist . Second star docked for sticking with age old prejudices and biases when it comes to adopting a position towards Pakistan . Why not let journalism speak for itself ?...”Read full review »
