Long time listener of the show and have listened to pretty much every episode. Anna and the team at NZ Herald do a fantastic job.
Will there ever be another episode?
Curious why no episode on missing Swedes of 89???
Please do one!!
I absolutely love this show, but not happy about it going to bi-monthly. I understand it takes time, but should be part of your contract and thus not affect your other work.
This is an awesome podcast, and the BEST Aotearoa true crime podcast I have found to date. I only wish there were more episodes, I've listened to every one and miss them while we wait for the next one!
