Well presented, put together and thank you for addressing the fundamental misogyny involved in such tragic events.
I liked the first few episodes of this podcast due to the factual information… however the last few episodes were leaning more towards information on one side… that is the problem with journalism reporting and news in society today… you are taking things out of the full context to fit your narrative. Thank you for the facts… they were enjoyed however finishing the podcast is unfortunately not for me.
Very well done.
Why did you think that shaggy music in the background would help in any way? It annoys me. I will probably give this podcast the flick because of them.
