  • Normally don’t like true crime (but love this!)

    Quirky, interesting, quick, approachable. I love Rima – great host.

    The one thing I found a little weird is the podcast seemed a bit judgemental about one or two minor property crimes, and seems to take a couple of what seemed to me more serious crimes were treated a bit more humourlessly – but this is a very minor criticism.

    Overall 5/5, more of this please . . .!

    Having just binge-listened to every episode so far, I wondered how I had overlooked this spectacularly brilliant show. Keep up the great work, Rima and guests! Thanks for your company.
