United Kingdom2 months ago - The Satanic Panic episode
Being someone who was quite involved with the actual happenings at the time in the US, that being from the mid 1980’s through the early 90’s, I often head to these stories now days to see if ANYONE will do a competent, accurate story & portrayal of what is now referred to as “The Satanic Panic”.

This particular podcast program may as well be any other podcast, including hos... more

United States2 months ago - Not good
I had high hopes for this as I really rated Luke’s journalism on his other podcasts. However, there is far too much pointless whittering between the two hosts; I wish they’d just cut it out and give us the stories. These contrived ‘chats’ and interjections add nothing and are incredibly crongeworthy.
Apple Podcasts2RadionoushUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Half assed research, badly articulated.
Don’t bother.

Lots of immature snorting, disinteresting small talk and quite how you can produce and narrate a podcast about Italian people without even attempting to pronounce their names correctly says everything about Broken Britain. Cringe from start to end.
