  • Great podcast

    As an Aussie, I could listen to Stuart’s accent all day. He tells the story with just the facts, no more or no less. He does give a little cheeky comment from time to time which I love. The stories are very interesting and varied and I always look forward to the next episode. Keep up the great work

  • Well researched stories hindered by opinion and emotion

    These are well researched episodes but instead of just telling a story the podcast is interspersed with emotionally charged commentary and opinion. Opinion puts me off and why I no longer listen.

  • Educational without sensationalising

    A really great podcast . I really enjoy Stuart’s style of narration ( and that lovely warm northern accent! ) that brings cases to life and transports the listener to that time in history with helpful references to landmark events or music to remind us of what we were doing around that era. He so respectful and sympathetic to all the families impacted . It’s obviously heartbreaking at times but he clearly really cares for all families .
