A wonderful true crime tale with original audio interviews with the great cast of characters involved in the whole saga. Well worth the listen!

And a great narrator. Pity about the sound effects. Much too much!!! It gets very annoying.

Really enjoying this podcast - a true crime told incredibly well, I can visualise the scenes and feel the tension too. Highly recommend.

Amazing story, hard to imagine the actions and miscalculations of these drug smugglers.
Garders via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/24/23
Only a few episodes in and I'm hooked. A podcast about North Korean drug trafficking wouldn't typically catch my attention. But this came highly recommended, and after just a few episodes, I understand why. This compelling tale provides an unusual view into the hermit kingdom via the...Read full review »

Just popped back to listen to the April 2021 update. I found the podcast series very interesting, Thankyou! We would never know about these interesting cases if they weren’t bought to us on podcasts.

A fascinating saga presented in a style that is compulsive. Why isn’t this a Netflix series?

Painfully slow and boring

Really gripping and I don’t even remember the news story !!

If you like hearing old Aussie blokes in bars talk about the time they “almost died” surfing, and you enjoy hearing stereotypical Asian accents voiced by actors when original recordings with traditional translation voiceover would do just fine, then this is the podcast for you.

Honestly the best and most gripping podcast I’ve listened to.
Laundryagent via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/27/21
Very interesting story and engaging storyteller

Binged this series on a road trip from Bright to Kiama in NSW. Made the drive go real quick. Stunning portrayal of the murky dictatorship that is North Korea. Hope those crew are alive somewhere. How tragic to do someone else’s bidding and pay the ultimate price. I’ll never look at the Surf Coast...Read full review »

One of the most interesting podcasts I have heard in years. I am midway and don’t want it to end.
SpazWaylon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/21
I'm new to Podcasts, and this is my very first one that I've listened to. (I live a sheltered life, lol) All I can say is that other podcasts have a lot to live up to if they're going to come even close. You've gone to an intense level of work to produce this, well done.Read full review »

So brilliant. Well done to all involved.
sam_bradshaw via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/23/21
The podcast overall is very good but the narrater needs loved ones that have suffered or died from heroin addiction instead of glorifying the guilty parties. The asinine presumption that our judicial system must be good because these criminals were acquitted is absurd beyond belief. How many...Read full review »

This is the best true crime documentary I have ever listened to.
chelsea mia via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/31/20
it’s well written, well produced, taking listeners outside their normal lives into some crazy maritime history and true crime for the ages. hope they make more like this one.
jane the listener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/20
This is so well written and authentically spoken. There’s No melodramatic, hard sell, which I really appreciate.
brooklynmuse79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/20
I took great interest in this case as I am a Victorian and familiar with the area close to Lorne. This is a really well scripted, produced and researched podcast. I became addicted to it and worked my way quickly through the episodes, not wanting it to end. Brilliant work by the whole team, more...Read full review »

This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Though I was an adult when these events occurred, I have no memory of them. Almost unbelievable and totally fascinating, with a focus on the small players as well as the big fish. Highly recommended
Ghostdoggy71 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/09/20
There needs to be more podcasts like this. It is interesting, not political, no agenda, and well told. Good on ya!

Wow this is an amazing story, very well done with actors, real interviews, and real police audio tapes. True life is truly stranger than fiction

Just won Gold in the Narrative/Documentary Podcast category of the New York Festivals Radio Awards, and well deserved. Congratulations to the whole team.
Kannga via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/24/20
Great podcast, the first 5 episodes are the best, after that I didn’t find them as interesting as the adventure in a over.
Heather M Walker via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/18/20
Loved this podcast. Some really great Australian journalism at work here. The narrator is intelligent and well-spoken. The episodes are short enough to keep you interested. Those who say they didn’t like the episodes being dropped a week apart, have you ever heard of a cliffhanger that makes you...Read full review »

Great story telling. Well structure. Exciting often sat in my car to listen to the end of an episode.
Help this is frightening via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/16/20
Highly detailed, well presented, compulsive listening. Would like to give it 6 stars. After binge listening over the commutes to work, I was left wondering about the wisdom of presenting the entire story from the guilty perspective, when the Australian justice system said otherwise. ...Read full review »
