    If a womanizing, nomadic drug abuser is your hero, I think you’ve set the bar pretty low

  • Just okay

    This was interesting and kept me hooked. However, the host’s unnatural speaking cadence was really distracting.

  • Tragic story, well told

    Great investigative podcast about a tragic disappearance. Reviewers are being racist and super judgemental. It doesn’t matter what the ethnicity of a person is, it’s still terrible when they disappear without a trace. And the fact that tourists keep going missing in this region of India should raise a lot of concern.
