I have learnt so much about how the justice system works in Australia and other countries. Meshel is a great host who can connect with anyone. Survivors are treated with dignity and compassion, and perpetrators are always held to account. The podcast covers so many different topics within the broad world of true crime! Shout out to Matty behind the scenes! Please never stop making interesting and diverse content. I look forward to every episode! :)
Need to research more - clearly you hadn’t
Why was she on her own, at a young age, in such a dangerous country? Obviously something bad would happen! Have had a look at excerpts from the dad’s book, well-meaning but poorly written, rambling and not convincing, shall not be buying it
For some odd reason I find this podcast in general to be relaxing, so informative, questioning, no nonsense, and the presenter has a lovely tone of voice. Thank you for your continued attention to detail.
I don’t understand why you have the lawyer Lauren Cassimatis on to discuss the Katherine Knight case when she doesn’t even have the correct facts. The host had to keep promoting and correcting her. It’s giving desperate for show ideas!
