  • Fantastic!

    I listen to hundreds of podcasts a year and this is the first review I’ve ever written. I am Welsh living in Canada and was 11 years old at the time of this disaster. This podcast is beautifully produced and is a joy to listen to, if one can say that about such a tragic event.

    I can’t believe that it has no reviews. I hope people find this and then join me in thanking you for your work

  • Ruined by the “music”

    A brilliant, important collection of authentic stories completely ruined by the tortuous sounds or “music” that made it difficult to hear the voices. Silence behind their voices would have enabled the listener to pick up the subtle nuance in their words. The stories did not need dramatic piercing single never ending notes or random recordings of breaking glass. They were a hideous distraction and an irreverence that prevented me from being able to listen to all the episodes.
