  • Quality! An Interesting Listen (Sn 2)

    I think the episodes are paced nicely and are in sensible chunks. There really aren’t that many ads. Good interviews and the narrator has a nice voice! I listen to a lot of scam/true crime podcasts and this is high quality. I also believe that folks are purposefully giving this podcast negative reviews to attack the content.

  • Oh come on!

A primip and 40 hours labouring at home, alone, no discussion of who has been doing her antenatal care? Are they aware she’s in labour? When was the Fetal death diagnosed? What was the discussion of spontaneous labour Vs induction? This is the problem with doulas. They have their place but this one is out of her depth right from the word go. If this was real, it would have been irresponsible t... more

  • Why?

    This mystery could have easily been one episode. Not compelling and not current. A fishing story is very old news.

  • Bit disappointing

    Only listened to season one. Great pacing. Nice narrative style. But the ending was no ending at all, rather anticlimactic
