On the 17th of February 2014, a 14 year old British boy named Breck Bednar took a pre-paid taxi from his mother's home in Surrey and travelled 30 miles to a flat in Grays, Essex. He believed he was going to meet a friend from his online gaming group.... more

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.
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.
I was hooked!!!! Five stars
The only thing is I probably wouldn’t recommend this as a bedtime podcast.
It's hard to fall asleep listening to a guy who is too lazy to google the pronunciation of place names. Arkansas, Raleigh, Dyatlov, Waikato... it's not that hard. This pod had the potential to be great but I'm done.
Enjoy, just not the breathing
