Kathrine basically is the main host and sue is interrupting her and I don’t tolerate that because I don’t like having people interrupting me or anyone else and I know other people agree apart from that the show is very good I have recently found it and I can’t stop listening to it and I like it and sue is repeating what we just heard I understand people don’t hear things straight away but I’d like to understand why sue is either comitating or interrupting
Sensitively handled and interesting. The only thing I struggled with was the overuse of the word, ‘absolutely’, just a verbal idiosyncrasy of the journalist but once noticed, could not be unnoticed!
These storytellers do a great job of bringing you the facts while keeping the humanity at the front of this story. The story itself is a great reminder to be generous of spirit, but keep a close eye on the safety of your family and your bank account!
Doesn’t know what it’s trying to say. Lurches from ‘this poor woman is clearly mentally ill’ (despite having no input from anyone qualified to comment on that) to ‘gasp! This monster is preying on society’s most vulnerable’. Not sure what Sue P adds, except unconvincing repetition of ‘and I’m not judging…’. Weirdly long section on the Irish justice and penal systems. Thorough journalism brought down by tabloid-style OMGs every two minutes.
I’ve listened to two podcast series about this case, and by far, this is more balanced and thoughtful. (Also, Sue Perkins is always amazing!)
