“A story with lots of potential but superficially related with details of the defendant’s attire, hair, facial expressions hands etc. Accounts of waiting outside premises for hours to snap a passing shot “in the public interest” are definitely not in mine, and undermine the already fragile...”Read full review »

“I am so glad it wasn’t just me for once being so bothered by the voice. The host Brook has a lovely normal voice when she forgets to vocal fry. Which unfortunately isn’t often enough. It wasn’t just her voice either.
The content was premature. They can’t share enough that’s interesting. Or...”Read full review »

“feels like they called dibs on the story before they had a story. i know it's hard out there for a journalist these days but there's an excruciating amount of filler in this podcast, including a full 6 minutes of people crying at a baptist sermon?!? like, if you aren't allowed to...”Read full review »

“There are 2 reasons why people exhibit a pronounced vocal fry
1 Because they have an ailment or a condition.
2 They and their cohort think it sounds fashionably good.
Whichever the reason I cannot tolerate it, it spoils whatever information is on offer. I won’t be listening any longer. I’m sure...”Read full review »

Overall compelling to listen to because...”Read full review »

“This entire podcast series could be told in 15 mins - not a painful seven eps! It drills down to such detail that you’re waiting for some narrative on how to cook a beef Wellington or how Erin ties her scrunchie each morning.”
