  • Exactly like an NZ case

    This is exactly like an NZ case. Including the nationality of parents. Look up FRACTURED. Major issues with the ‘science’ presented in court. A family greatly impacted by the system.

  • Thought provoking - excellent presentation

    I can’t imagine how parents who have lost babies are suddenly faced with being blamed for their death. It’s outrageous and criminal, dogmatic and arrogant doctors jumping to conclusions. I’m not defending those who have offended, but it seems people in this podcast, were guilty until proven innocent. No other cause could account for the babies deaths. They used to hang witches, no other explanation could possibly explain! Re: The sense of humour not being appropriate in comments, total rubb... more

  • Great story but ….

    Pity about the presenters. Their playful back and forth delivery was unprofessional and at times bordering on offensive. Classless.

    Unlistenable. What should have been another interesting SMH podcast quickly became a complete mess. I got halfway through the first episode and had to turn it off. The women’s voice sounded like she was reading a child’s story book and the snide jokes and jabs were pathetic. This was a serious issue where lives were ruined not a giggle fest. These two were more intent on chatting and yacking than presenting facts and assessment. Hopeless.
