- Incomplete for me.
Remembering the original horror of this awful story I found it very compelling to listen to John Wards words and tapes for the first time, the poor man. I had never before heard that politicians son Johnathon Arap Moi was known to Julie Ward and had been seen with her. I waited eagerly to hear the our journalist Katherine had pursued this line of inquiry further but no she did not. So disappointing and I ask myself why.

Brilliant reporting and engrossing podcast
Apple Podcasts5Dizdazdoz91214United Kingdom6 months ago - A thorough investigation but music is irritating
Thoroughly investigated and well presented with interviews.
Very compelling story.
However, it is spoilt in parts by irritating noise overlaying some of the speech, which makes it difficult to hear in parts.
Music should never play at same time as speech.
