  • The Organ Harvesters

  • great format, but content now less reliable

    Used to be an always-listen, but some recent programmes disappointing.

It has lost its way: from the weird new logo reminiscent of Greece’s Golden Dawn neo-Nazis—red, white, & black colours and a maze pattern from which you can assemble at least five swastikas —to reporting that lacks cutting edge. Too much of this show’s output feels shallow, delivering nothing that you couldn’t hear or read elsewhere. Good investigations require investment of time and mon... more
