“This story is perplexing! The Gwyneth and Joe Rogan endorsements - how does that happen? I like the way the journalist describes how he came to this story, and began digging. It’s quite the yarn so far.”

“1) Evidence of damage does not prove the cause of damage.
2) On the fractures not being a problem in the future—because they corrected the discovered deficiencies in all future treatments.
3) Premies are different in physiology from full term infants even disregarding any unknown congenital...”Read full review »

“Excellent podcast. Well done.
Imagine if the police had done a proper job from the outset of this tragedy how much additional pain and suffering could have been avoided. Instead these families have been entrenched in their suffering as a whole conspiracy theory took hold, so easy to play the...”Read full review »

“Enjoying listening to this podcast. Feeling frustrated that everyone seems to have conflicting views, are not reliable, bickering amongst themselves .
The pathologist seems totally annoyed and the police seem annoyed that Karen Jones is calling them out!!!
Poor little guy…. No wonder they can’t...”Read full review »

“Season 4, I’m listening to the Fractured story. This is hugely important and well reported on.
(I was not a fan of the previous series, although Ms Reid is an excellent reporter)”

“This reminds me of the brights in America
The podcast about them and another family saved by a particular lawyer is called do no harm.
The hospital removed the children due to alleged child abuse when the children actually had a rare condition.”

The modern forensic developments available were ignored and the police reminded me of 1950’s NZ. Without a full confession from those responsible we...”Read full review »

“Well done Team on highlighting the systemic incompetence of the police in this case in such a professional manner. This is the type of info the public should be aware of. Can’t wait for the follow up and hopefully justice for Lochie and his family.”

I don’t like this subscription model either - most subscription models mean you are 1 episode behind. I just checked and there are about 6 subscription episodes beyond the current one....”Read full review »

“I have just finished episode 13 🤯😢 It is very clear Paul is a man who loved his son deeply. He handled himself extremely well, That police representative should be ashamed of himself. Vilifying a man who lost his son in these circumstances and considering what we’ve heard so far is unreal.”
