Loved the podcast. Excellent research and superb reporting. However!!! Some interviews made me cringe so badly I had to turn the volume all the way down and at times take off my headphones. Guests had their microphones inside their mouths and you could literally hear amplified movements of their tongues!! The lip smacking and all kinds of clicking and swishing of saliva! I cannot articulate how torturous those interviews were. I would have fired the sound engineer if this were my podcast.
I would like to listen to this full podcast, but it starts with episode 2. Where is episode 1?
Captivating... Exposing police lies & corrupt conspiracy in the ranks.. Makes me so very thankful that I live in New Zealand... We are not free of these evils, but nothing as systemic, nor rotten to the core as what is exposed in this & other cases...

This is such an important case and I’m grateful it was covered with so many facts provided. BUT, have the creators listened to a podcast before? We write very differently fo different mediums any they were writing for a 30sec news clip. 11 minute episodes are ridiculous! The short, choppiness of the presentation and writing style used really took away from the presentation of this important story.
