  • Please stop the music behind the voices.

    Great content and look forward to each episode though can I suggest not having the sound (music) playing in the background. It really makes it hard to concentrate on the voices and is unnecessary

  • LOVE THIS!

    I am a social worker with specialist interest and research in defence and police work, and I just came across the police journal today! And was so happy to see there was a podcast!!! Just listened to the Harley Hicks episode. I remember when this happened as I live not too far from the house. So satisfying to hear how the police all worked together as a team to get a successful conviction for the family :)

    Thankyou for all your great work :)

  • Fix the sound

    🤢 the sound needs to be fixed. The background white noise type sound makes me ill. I couldn’t keep listening. I think the content and stories are great.
