  • Too many ads

    This used to be my favourite podcast but it’s not the same anymore. The ads at the beginning go on for too long and now there are ads in the middle as well. The add-on extract at the end is annoying too.

  • Too many ads

    Used to enjoy this podcast, but it has become unlistenable. Selling ads in every available way & place, forced in the middle, massive section of selling the new paid content. Unlistenable.

  • The podcast is ruined!

    In the latest Podcast about Ms Faulkner’s attack the Podcast length is given as 15mins of which the 1st 2mins 35sec are adds then another 30sec add in the middle followed by 10min 30sec add for their subscription service at the end. So so poor from what this podcast originally was!

Derek 'Del Boy' Hutch told he will go to jail over hit and run of Ukrainian granny
Q: Tell us about the circumstances of the sentencing delay.

Jonathan Gill delivered gifts to kids' hospital weeks before Robbie Lawlor hit arrest
Q: What role do EncroChat messages play in the PSNI's case against Gill and others?
