  • Binging it!

    I have been listening to Killer in the Family for a couple of weeks. I am a true crime listener. It’s a hard listen but it is well done, episodes are not too long and informative.Hopefully it can help people understand the warning signs, especially coercive controlling behaviours. I have a suggestion for an episode but not sure how to send it. It’s about Robert Farquarson from Australia a truly horrific crime.

  • Outstanding

    This podcast, whilst an extremely hard topic, is so well done and I left each episode remembering the victims names and not the guilty party, the empathy and dignity shown to the victims and their families is paramount in this podcast, you can tell Clare has a lot of knowledge on domestic violence and the annihilators - just over 25 years ago I could have so easily been one of these women but luckily someone helped me and I’m here - I highly recommend this podcast.
