  • DISAPPOINTING

    Episodes are far too short, the whole podcast could have been made into one episode. Perhaps half an episode, if you take out the unnecessary repetitive, commentary. Most of the commentary was annoying and kept breaking into the flow of the story.

    This episode was was so utterly heartbreaking & I recognise the bravery of the family in their willingness for it go public, in the hope that crimes like these will be acted on in a timely manner by the law.

    If they truly believed that this was a murder / suicide, why are they buried together in the same grave? Really interesting podcast shedding light on rural Welsh life.

  • A very good investigative crime series covering some stories you may not have heard of, and some you definitely have - the Salisbury Poisonings deep-dive is a subject I didn't think had anything new to be said about it, but it's probably the highlight of the whole series. In particular, their interview with former PM Theresa May sheds new light on what was going on behind the scenes! Recommended.

  • Series 2- Servants & Saints

    I think it is an interesting topic about this religious group, i think Irish origins. But the presenter’s accent made it hard to focus on the show. She is probably Irish and whilst it is a beautiful accent, it’s quite hard to follow and focus. Gave up after the first episode
