“I made it to the end of the fourth episode and I wish I never started.
I have come to read the reviews thinking is it just me but clearly not.
No issue getting past the vocals for a good story (which this is not) but I am bothered by the attitude here - the clap on the back about being...”Read full review »

“Monumentally sanctimonious journos - though it's a stretch to call them journos. There's literally no substance to this podcast and I've given it right up to Episode 4. Although I confess, I did skip through some of the more irrelevant ramblings. The one star is for the highlight -...”Read full review »

“There’s a great deal of repetition almost as if to fill time and get a longer episode out of less and less content. This feeling is compounded when we have to hear boring details about the creator driving/meeting various other people before and after court. It is not interesting hearing about...”Read full review »

“This podcast is poorly executed. I think the main issue with this podcast is the misjudgment of what the interest in this case is. Given there is zero new information, this is a blow by blow day in the life of the journalists. It’s not that interesting.
This would have been better done after...”Read full review »

“Am so disappointed I wasted money on listening to this series. Terrible journalism, boring, awful narrating and information that could have been told in a 3 minute news segment. 0 stars.”

“I find it incredible, that supposedly having reported in the area for over 2 years, you cannot pronounce the name of the town correctly. It’s disrespectful to the community and feels disingenuous.”

“All the interesting or relevant bits in this podcast could have been condensed into 1 episode or less. It’s drawn out and repetitive and reveals nothing.

“The whole series could be condensed to one episode. Not much information being conveyed. Also feels a bit icky calling it a murder mystery like it’s a trashy tv series. These people lost their lives, this should not be trivialised.”

“Every episode after the first has been lacklustre and empty of any interesting updates or insightful analysis.
As a former broadcast journalist, I regard this as a prime example of why podcasts should, in large, be left to those who know how to produce and craft an audio narrative. This is just...”Read full review »

Also, could the reporters make the story more about themselves?? Finally, just a tip, if you’re going to make a podcast about a country...”Read full review »

“Lacks substance. Poor example of journalism, is opportunistic, crass & potentially damaging to a case not yet tried. Sparks resonance with how journalists covered the Lindy Chamberlain case.
