  • Taken two stars off…

    I’ve had to take two stars off because whilst I loved these podcasts when they first came out, now they have adverts and shorter episodes. I listen to these to fall asleep or should I say used to, as I can no longer fall asleep when the adverts come on! So annoying! It’s called ‘crime at bedtime’ so why have the adverts? It’s not relaxing at all.

  • Could be My favourite to fall asleep

    Such a disappointment. I subscribed and it still had commercials. I just about fall asleep and a commercials blast on. Such a waste of money.

  • Divine voice of Jack

    Can o just say that from an audile perspective this is DIVINE. Jack, your dulcet tones are blissful listening, as is the exquisite orchestral/chamber style music. Very few podcasters “get” the audile factor, they just present info in an audio media. Screeching, nasal, or horrendous vocal fry. Thank you Jack. This one really hits the nail on the head.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Vanishing Scientists: Ten Disappearances, One Terrifying Pattern
Q: Are there any credible theories about who might be behind these disappearances, or why they would be targeted?
Credible theories include foreign espionage targeting scientists in rocket propulsion and related fields, as well as discussions about potential self-disappearance or non-nefarious explanations; however, experts note there is no definitive evidence tying all cases together and many remain unexplained.
The Vanishing Scientists: Ten Disappearances, One Terrifying Pattern
Q: What is the central pattern being observed in these cases, and why does it matter to investigators?
The central pattern is that ten individuals connected to sensitive nuclear, aerospace, and fusion energy programs have disappeared or died under unexplained circumstances, suggesting a possible link worth investigating beyond coincidence, though officials caution there is no confirmed coordinated investigation yet.
