  • Great Pod!

    This pod is a great example of why the me too movement and recent awareness around violence against women has been so necessary. I cannot believe creepy Kevin has been brought to trial 3 times and acquitted each time. Outrageous.

  • Witch hunt

    If the police haven’t charged this guy, what gives Ashley the right to be judge and jury.

    Another trial by media podcast and is doing more damage than good.

    My heart goes out to the family being used like this by a second rate “journalist”.

  • Could be great

    Biased and dramatic rather than actually taking time to dive deep and consider facts and timelines cautiously. Stopped listening after the episode where the journalist ambushed the “suspect”. I came here for a true crime podcast, not a tacky episode of 60 mins.

  • Unattractive

    Seriously, I was enjoying the show until episode 11. As much as I understand your motives, you can get the message across without stalking someone who is, legally, innocent. What did you think you were going to achieve by asking someone “did you murder…?”? Did you think he was going to admit it to you on the street? A waste of your effort, and my listening time and, frankly, gutter journalism. You need to consider how someone like Hedley Thomas undertakes these “investigations”. Won’t be listeni... more

  • Was a good podcast

    Was loving it up until the last episode. The fella doesn’t sound like a good person but trial by public isn’t a thing for a reason. Jumping out of a car and running up to anyone with a microphone is terrible journalism. The journalist should hang her head in shame. Maybe they need to listen to Hedley Thomas or the Marion Barter podcast. Might learn something.
