  • Well made …. but

    I don’t like to leave a one star because the maker of this podcast has done a good and professional job, but I find myself unable to give it more because of the content.

    I couldn’t stand the excuses and self pitying sob stories of the main character in this podcast. After a couple of episodes I had to give up. Nothing was his fault, things ‘happened’ (no, they were choices), he portrayed himself as a victim. I feel so sorry for the actual victims of this man’s choices.

    Definitely not a podca... more

  • Tragic and thought provoking

    The whole tragedy here is that someone lost their life. However, the man who caused the accident was also a lesser victim. He clearly needed help and was probably suffering some form of trauma type illness. Could he have simply apologised to the victims family and sought to do some good work to make amends? Probably. But, trauma can cloud reason. I don’t understand the smiling photograph of him being led away. I think that must have been horrifying to the victims family, but like I say, he shou... more

  • Poor journalism

    Nothing queried of this guys account, it is all very one sided. The reason why is jail sentence was increased is because he completed 2 more robberies while on bail from the ‘final’ robbery described in the podcast. It shouldn’t take an average joe soap googling to find information like this out!

  • Amazing reflective story

    Wonderfully told story balancing the effect of your bad choices and actions on others with your own limitations as a human being. It could happen to all of us. One action that can change the course of your life. His brutal honesty is inspiring and he could offer a lot to ex-prisoners who are trying to find their way back in society coping with guilt and isolation.
