  • The New Style (insert name) matters

    Every story has left me wanting to quit my job and start helping in the searching. What a loss for everyone. Every episode is important with a new family touched with loss and an unimaginable journey, the common feeling in every episode is the hole that not knowing can leave.

  • A very flat listen unfortunately

    Unfortunately, whilst I appreciate the personal impact of this story and the importance of it, this podcast misses the mark. The narration of this chapter felt flat, boring and problem saturated. It was basically an overview of a trip abroad in search of questions with no answers. Despite this I have great empathy for Sally and think her tenacity to keep searching is amazing. I truly hope her efforts result in more information.

  • Sally deserves an OAM

    Sally, a woman with a big heart, using her own experience of loss to help others, wow. Not only that her first podcast hosting, she is a natural interviewer. Good on you Sally, always with you. ❤️
