  • It’s a well-told story, but presenter’s voice is too relaxing

    The presenter’s voice is so relaxing and hypnotic that I can’t concentrate on the story. 😂 She should do those sleep stories.

  • Great show that’s drifted off course

    This show has always been great investigative journalism. But the choice of stories have gradually drifted more off into topics that are no longer interesting. I just don’t want to listen to any of the stories any more.

  • Re: Prisoner of the State episode

    I normally like the show and rate it highly, but the ABC have got this one terribly wrong. This is a very poor report of how guardianship works. The reporter even likened it to conservatorship in the USA. So wrong. Shame, I really liked this show.
