New Zealand2 years ago - A summary but not much else
This podcast is useful for providing a summary of the facts and demonstrating why Gareth’s death should be re-examined. It lacks good storytelling though, and it would help to hear from people who knew Gareth personally as he remains a mysterious character. The experts’ opinions differ and a deeper exploration of this would be useful. Why are some saying no DNA was found in the flat while others say it was? Some of the interviews are needlessly combative too. The music grates.
Apple Podcasts3murgatroyd324United Kingdom2 years ago - Every episode is the same
I agree with the other reviews on here. These are just the same pieces of information over and over with the opinions of some people that don’t actually have anything substantial to add. There is no investigation here or anything thought provoking whatsoever. I think I could’ve probably written this podcast with the Wikipedia article and a microphone.
