“Gripping story, well researched and articulately narrated. Clean, crisp production with thoughtful editing and great music and sound. The backstory of the actual people embroiled in this heartbreaking event is told with sympathy and compassion, making it much more human than a typical true crime podcast. Only on episode 4, I find myself having respect and affection for Mark, Mark’s family, especially Uncle Duck, who fiercely fight for his truth, as well as tangential people involved in the story, such as Eddie Davis, clearly a very decent individual. Listening from the US, I am sheepishly aware of my ignorance of the Aboriginal culture, which is fascinating, but marked by struggle. I am grateful to have my eyes opened. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding the thicker Australian accents, but the host is good about recapping the action so I am able to keep up. The only exception to this is the listener warning at the opening line of each podcast, advising “if you’re an Aboriginal or _____ person, we want you to know that this series mentions the name of someone who is _______. (dead? done?)” I’m intrigued by the meaning and need for this warning and replayed it a number of times, but I still can’t make out two words being spoken. However, that’s a very minor detail in what is overall, an excellent listening experience.”
