“Very well read at a perfect pace. Wonderful, interesting cases, differing from other podcasts as it refers to historical cases between 1880 to 1923.”

“This podcast is soooo hard to listen too. It’s like it’s a script being read out aloud. Do not recommend”

“Very well researched and delivered podcast chronicling some of the most horrific and fascinating crimes.
This has kept me riveted for weeks, no wonder Netflix shares are down!!
Please keep them coming!! I’d love to see some political scandals too. Maybe Russian spies could be topical!”

“Stumbled on this little beaut, and so glad I did! It’s up there with the best. Really well-researched and delivered, even when the topics are hard to discuss, or cover out-of-date ideology from decades/centuries past. Keep up the good work guys, you’re doing a great job, and I hope you get the...”Read full review »

“I do struggle somewhat with the mis pronunciation of English. Very interesting accent. Ref to Mayor to Maya? Affair to Afea. Ahead to Aheard. Newspaper to Noospaper. Quite disconcerting. A little more emphasis with the narration, sounds like reading from a script. This would make the Podcast...”Read full review »

“A podcast that is always interesting & is updated on fairly regular basis too. Good website to accompany the episodes too.
No frills.
I like the longish pauses during the delivery also- it gives you a moment to digest or ponder.. Instead of mass info forced at you.
Nice work”

“The latest episode (Shayne Simes) is a disappointing turn for this show. The dramatizations were unnecessary and the beeping out of the addresses are annoying. If you don’t want to use the information, just leave it out.”

“I appreciate all the effort that has gone into these stories and the respect shown for the people involve. Although your voice is somewhat irritating for me with what seems like exaggerated and forced roll of the ‘R’. I noticed it wasn’t consistent at all and it was quite uncomfortable to listen...”Read full review »

“‘The morning of the dawn of’, ‘fatally killed’, mispronouncing ‘heron’ and ‘anarchist’… not to mention the tee-hee blooper reel at the end of the Aramoana Massacre ep. Maybe try to do better and reconsider the taste level.”

And, honestly as a Swede with vivid memories of the Swedish couple missing (and later found murdered) in NZ I am so glad to see a...”Read full review »

“I have listened from the beginning. I loved learning about NZ history through their legal system... stories were fascinating and informative.
Then hosts took a break... and as I look at the newer stories, I notice how short they’ve become. I prefer at least 45 minutes- dig deep into The Who,...”Read full review »

“Good stories and well researched but I found the latest episode really annoying as the narrator kept saying the word for house/home crib. Does all of NZ live in some sort of gangsta neighbourhood and live in cribs, even the old people? It just sounded so wrong and I found it extremely irritating.”

“Good content but pronunciation of some Māori place names, that have historically been mispronounced, ring harsh to a Māori ear. Well done on the Māori words that were pronounced beautifully and effortlessly, like ‘Māori’ and the word ‘Paimārire’ which can be challenging for the novice reo speaker.”

“Great stories but the narration and re-enactments are so dry and wooden. I’ve only listened to the first two so far. I hope the narration style improves because it’s so hard to concentrate on the stories with this style.”

“Love this podcast. Now and then the legal terms/facts aren’t quite right (I only know because that’s my field) but only minor details that don’t effect the overall story. Super interesting, well researched. I’ve just converted my friend and we both listened to all the episodes on our road trip....”Read full review »

“I’m really enjoying this podcast. Dark and close to home. I’m even getting used to the South Island accent.
But I have to say, you have the weirdest pronunciation of the word “fellow”. It’s fell-low, not fi-lo. You make it sound like filo pastry.”

“I’m learning so much about NZ’s history from your podcast. You must put a lot of time in to research.
Regarding the criticisms of your R sound or accent, not much you can do to change people’s opinions. That’s how you talk. My view is, it doesn’t bother me, I’m happy that someone is doing a NZ...”Read full review »
