At a loss...
I’m truly shocked by this podcast.. although it starts as a seemingly sensitively curated and edited podcast investigating and interviewing people who have been touched by this terrible crime. It seems to degenerate quickly into a simple denigration of the character of the perpetrator of the crime. There is little or no investigation of the murder’s background, motivations or state of mind and no consideration of the fact that she may well have been rehabilitated following her serving her full sentence. The journalist’s eagerness to fuel a mob-like verdict of Pamela Gourlay as a human being, together with her leading line of questioning and wild assumptions about Pamela and her family, combined with the revelations about where she lives and specific personal details seem to be not just lacking in empathy but grossly unprofessional on journalistic grounds. It also only serves to create sympathy for the perpetrator amongst the audience, rather than empathy for the victim and her family.

Really gripped by this story. Very well told by Isla and those involved at the time. Great sensitivity shown.

I listen to this podcast on my commute every morning and I get excited to get up and out knowing I’ve got it...Read full review »
