Highly irritating and immoral journalist
There are stars on this review because of the fact Rose's mum was so lovely to listen to - there were some good interviews with people from those days. However, the journalist was immorally doing whatever he needed do to get these discussions, putting words in mouths and pushing his agenda. At the end of episode 5 (SPOILER) Daisy, Rose's mum, asks how they killed them.. he does respectfully decline to go into detail, saying it's unhelpful. But when she asks if she might have been led by Fred, he tells her that 'no she enjoyed it...' It didn't need to be so plainly put to a mum who was, to me, struggling to comprehend that someone she raised could do something as bad as she had. The worst thing in this podcast is how, when playing any tapes back, he repeats every bloody thing they say - fine if it's inaudible (can be quite helpful at that point), but completely unnecessary when the audio is clear - such as when interviewing Rose's mum. It's almost word-for-word repeated. So then I wonder 'where is his OWN take on things' - it's effectively a compilation of accounts of various contacts/witnesses which simply highlight what happened, but delves no deeper. It's a good collection of interviews for sure - and time has clearly been spent hounding interviewees for a chat. But having already done that, there could have been much better analysis than simply to repeat what was said.Read full review »

Narrator simply repeats what we can Clearly hear for ourselves. Poor production and spinning out about two hours worth of journalism

Scratchy, poor quality tapes played endlessly - then some impossible to understand Scottish accents thrown in - my ears can’t take it any more!
