  • Falconio mystery

    This episode is so blatantly one sided it almost feels like Robin is infatuated with Murdoch. Poor choice of guest, cruelly executed. I’d give it -5 stars if I could.

  • Falconio ep - bad choice

    I love Michelle and her podcast, however I don’t understand why the Author of the Joanna Lees conspiracy was given a voice .

    Come on Michelle, I know it’s good to hear all voices but this one wasn’t worthy.

    Please exercise more care in guest choice .

Ashton only speaks so well of their mother & I guess h... more

  • The Wollongong Murders episode

    This episode was painful because its guests used the wrong name of someone more than 10 times. His name is Keith Schreiber, not Mark Schreiber! Very poorly executed by the editors/producer.

    Up until this episode I was enjoying this podcast. Felt like a witch hunt against Joanne, felt like it was more opinion than facts. Pretty sad and disappointing
