“This podcast has so much potential and it’s interesting to hear the details of crimes that have been headlines on the news, but .......... it’s often a struggle to listen to. The narrator has a dull voice which, from previous reviews, has clearly put a lot of people off listening. I don’t mind the monotonous voice and odd diction too much, although it is irritating, but I do find myself put off by sloppy attention to detail and constant mispronunciation. In the most recent episode Herriot Watt University is referred to as Harriet Watt, and in a previous episode the suspect’s name suddenly became Christopher and then back again. There’s an example of this sloppiness in nearly every single episode. When I’m listening to this podcast I feel like I do when I’m listening to my 7 year old granddaughter doing her reading homework - I want to interrupt and say ‘shall we go back and read that page again and try to do it a bit better this time?’”
