  • Nothing happens on this podcast

    What a snoozefest! The podcast goes around in circles and repeats the same information from episode 1 to 6. Honestly, don’t waste your time. It feels exploitative of the victims.

    The attraction of true crime is to understand the nature of evil. It is a blight on society that this murderer was given no opportunity to either defend or at least explain his actions, especially for the families of the victims. However, the listener can pick up enough to realise the man lacked humanity - his motive was simply personal gain, no matter the means or cost.

  • Let down by poor production decisions

    What a shame. Such an interesting story but it uses interviews from a who’s who of Ireland’s most inane “journalists” & gives voice—without adding comment or context—to the kind of people who say the accused was “off” or evil because he didn’t holler at convent school girls or play GAA. What’s worse is to direct Adrian Dunbar to narrate with an odd ghost story/bogeyman voice which detracts from a serious & really interesting subject matter.

  • Good until the bonus episode

    I enjoyed learning about this story and the great narration. About 2/3 through the bonus episode the female journalist declared that this was not a true crime podcast. Hmm I’m not sure that’s accurate. She went further to decry true crime podcasts and those who listen to them. Did she understand she was speaking to a majority of her audience? Does declaring this work both separate and superior from true crime podcasts appease her aversion to the genre? It leaves a bad taste in my mouth after hav... more
