  • What was the point of the 18 July episode?

    Quite obviously a clinging on to a podcast when there’s very little more to add. (Which is a pity, because the earlier reporting had a point.)

  • Say Grace.

    Content is ok.

    However, Erin’s spoken English is abominable, and her knowledge of the English language is worse.

    Erin constantly speaks over the top of her co-host; neither know the difference between bought and brought.

    It’s astounding this is a podcast by, “The Australian”. I would have thought anyone working in communications would need a good grasp of basic English. This podcast is an embarrassment to Australia, as I understand the Mushroom case garnered worldwide attention.

  • Gripping topic, woeful hosts

    Listening to the most recent instalment, about the Mushroom Murders is akin to pulling teeth. The topic itself is fascinating, but the narration style of the hosts is unbearable. It’s unclear where they themselves barely understand the concepts at hand or if they believe their audience to have a barebones level of literacy, but they needlessly explain simple concepts in excruciating detail, dragging the episode out and belittling listeners.

  • Rinse and repeat

    I stopped listening after 9 mins of the second episode as it was just the same as the previous episode. Why bring out another episode if it’s just the same as the one before
