“I only recently discovered this podcast and I can’t recommend ‘Unfinished’ highly enough
It manages to pull the right threads together and leaves you with more questions than answers. A better investigation than anything on MSM that will leave you chilled
Absolute power corrupts absolutely”

“Such a high standard of investigative journalism. Truly sad and heartbreaking listening to the victims and there horrific abuse at the hands of 1 of many, many peodophile rings here in the U.K. Also how the people who are meant to look after and protect us, chose to turn a blind eye.”
