  • Ehh why

    Loved the first season but to make season 2 a subscription is absolutely ridiculous. Too many free podcasts to pay for 1 season of a pod. And after reading reviews that it’s not ad free even when paying I’m definitely not

  • Great show!

    I am a Belgian native and around 10 when Dutrouw’ crimes were discovered. At school, we also participated in the white marches. This crime scarred many of us, I don’t think people in Belgium had ever been confronted with such crimes and it had a lasting impact on our police and justice system. So a must listen!
