  • Fascinating series

    Really interesting and well-researched. The only niggle for me is that two of the younger women who contribute a LOT speak with really bad vocal fry; it sounds terrible and really starts to grate after a while. Please get some vocal training if you want to consider a broadcasting career. Recording seems to amplify it.

  • Bronwyn- where is the justice

    Seriously loved this podcast! It seems like Bronwyn's daughters may need a talk with Sarah Turner to see the light! How can they look at the evidence and not see? Love the reporting and praying that Australia convicts Jon before he dies 🙈
