  • Investigative journalism at its worst

    This podcast is so incredibly biased from the beginning, lacking relevant factual information but heavy on the subjective portrayal of the parents.

  • Corruption amongst idiots.

    Any place called “Starship” sounds like a ship of fools. Having Medico-legal corruption in your ranks requires a MASSIVE evacuation of the fools. There is no way ordinary people should be subjected to the false, narcisstic power of sociopathic idiots. Having said that, there is a massive complacency of thought in NZ to have created this.

  • Slow

    I’m going to ditch my subscription. It is too slow and quite repetitive. Interesting stories but not worth the time it takes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S11 | The Murder of Andrew Bagshaw | Ep 3: The Road to Soledar
Q: Where did you go and who did you meet during the rescue efforts?
We went to the edge of Soledar and met with local military coordinators and civilians to identify points where civilians were being evacuated, using local knowledge and interpreters when possible to guide the route.
S11 | The Murder of Andrew Bagshaw | Ep 2: The Hell Jumpers
Q: How did you first get involved in evacuations and what was the day-to-day like for organizing these missions?
Evacuations often arose through a mix of military liaison contacts and direct on-the-ground improvisation, with volunteers sharing cards and contacts and taking opportunities as front-line conditions allowed, which meant plans could change suddenly and depend on who could be mobilized at any moment.
S10 | Ep 17: Here Come the Americans | Diagnosis of a Crime Season 2
Q: Do lipase levels rule out recent trauma in this infant?
The witness explained that low lipase levels argue against recent trauma as a cause, since lipase would typically be elevated with acute injury, thereby supporting a non-traumatic etiology.
S10 | Ep 17: Here Come the Americans | Diagnosis of a Crime Season 2
Q: Is the assertion that these fractures were birth-related supported by the medical history you reviewed?
The witness testified that, given the combination of poor mineralization, flared ribs, periosteal elevation, and vitamin D deficiency, the fractures were birth-related, though this is contested by other experts who viewed certain radiographic findings as normal.
S10 | Ep 8: The Geneticist | Diagnosis of a Crime Season 2
Q: So, were you saying that if there was a genetic explanation, you'd expect to see fractures going forward?
Yes. If a genetic cause were at play, ongoing fragility would likely lead to fractures as the child becomes more mobile, which would be observable over time.
