I only found this by mistake when Naomi was a guest on another podcast , she’s great no waffling on just gets right to the point with interesting details and facts. Love it!
Just listening to episode 16, Joseph Powell, and far from being disturbed by the actual content, that phone call with the patronising, imbecilic 911 dispatch operator had me squirming in my seat. It was excruciatingly cringeworthy. He should have been sacked immediately. Well done, mate.
Wow recently found this podcast and I’m hooked. True crime with purpose and that is evident with the survivors and victims family who trust this show to tell their stories. Bravo!
I love this podcast. It’s so well done and professional. Naomi’s voice is amazing and her empathy is heartwarming. Always my first choice when a new episode drops. From Australia 😍
‘Real’ is my go to podcast! Naomi is a brilliant narrator and creator, showcasing real life, true experiences we all need to hear. I think it’s a genuine and captivating podcast and I would highly recommend.
