- Too many ads
Ads every few minutes, it's insufferable.

United Statesa month ago - Too many ads
Episodes are super short (25mins +/-) but at least 10 mins are ads and they come in the middle of someone talking. They aren’t even timed to breaks in talking, they can come in mid-sentence. And it’s the exact same 2-3 ads for played 15 times each per episode.
Such a shame. Could have been a good podcast otherwise.

Australiaa month ago - Death and deceit is a must listen
Death and Deceit took my breath away. I listened to Alliance years ago and I absolutely loved Maggie’s honesty and vulnerability in revisiting the story and investigation.

The narrative is interrupted by too many ads, making it hard to focus. Please be less greedy in monetising your show. Maggie is also sometimes overly dramatic and self-obsessed.

Interesting but episodes are shirt and made even shorter by the number of ads.
