  • A horrible story told wonderfully

    I really enjoyed this podcast even though it was hard to listen to at times. I loved the fact that it was so to the point and not repetitive. Some podcasts rehash the same info over and over. This one doesn’t. Owen Bennett-Jones reported it so well and his voice is perfect. Thanks for all your long and hard work!

  • Enthralling

    This was a piece of journalism right from the top tier. Brilliantly produced and put together, the unique cultural and political context explained brilliantly for the ordinary Joe. Although a tragic tale, it’s not one devoid of hope as Benazir Bhutto defiance and fortitude will remain a source of inspiration for generations to come.

  • A fascinating program

    What a well-researched, well-told story about a brave woman and a politically corrupt state.
