    The sound quality on this podcast is very poor.

    It sounds like the guest speaker is talking through a pipe. Maybe she’s on speaker phone!

    Hard to listen to.

    The actual story is interesting, I never heard it all before.

  • Used to cover crime now a gossip rag

    Utter slop of a podcast. So much crime in Ireland they could focus on in proper detail like the women being murdered big focus on gossip and tragedy that are not actual crimes! Unfollowed!!

  • Nicola Tallant.

    Nicola Tallant is such an incredibly annoying, domineering, self centred person. She has destroyed this podcast with her constant interruptions of the other presenters. No one cares about her fancy cars, luxury holidays . Just stick to the subject matter and do your job. I now only listen to the podcast if Niall is presenting it.

Killer caught boozing while on day release from jail by Crime World
Q: Tell us about Thomas Kennedy and why his release was controversial.
Kennedy, a 41-year-old with a life sentence for murder, was in an open-center program intended to phase inmates back into society. He breached rules by drinking during a day out, which sparked undercover videography and renewed scrutiny of the open-release system.

Who will take over from the European Super Cartel?
Q: Who are the main players behind the so-called European Super Cartel and how did they consolidate power?
