  • First class production.

    I really enjoy these BBC podcasts. This was a harrowing story, it was very difficult to listen to but I am glad to have done so. Well done for presenting this horrific case in such a sensitive but forthright manner.

  • Thoughtful, comprehensive, insightful

    An incredible resource for people looking to understand the detail of why things went so wrong - government obsession with deregulation, industry malfeasance and a lack of care for people.

  • Surely the gold standard for podcast journalism

    Absolutely brilliant podcast. Provided such a rich and multi-dimensional analysis of this awful tragedy. From building design and larger refurb project procurement, to the inner workings of the fire brigade at large incidents, building regs, fire safety, and failure of governmental process. Amazing detailed insight into the whole complex mess. And the contributions from the survivors and bereaved - absolutely devastating. Thankyou, and love and power to all those affected by Grenfell.
