Reviews
- Brilliant
I love this podcast. I enjoy listening to well investigated stories about true crime, including murders, scammers and impostors. The title of this podcast, “The Opportunist”, conveys the journalistic attitude and integrity of Hannah Smith and her team. Rather than sensationalist story dumping this podcast is well researched and presents a nuanced exploration of troubling human behaviour, all delivered with clever story structure and compelling narration.

I never leave reviews on podcasts, but this show is just so so good. Hannah and her producers do an incredible job of telling the full story in an honest and respectful way. All of the seasons are very well done and meticulously produced, but the Aubrey Lee Price season is really what prompted me to leave this review. Hannah is incredibly (and honestly very impressively) respectful during all of her interviews, but I was especially impressed by her decorum and poise while talking to Lee himself.... more

From what I understand Hannah Smith never actually owned this podcast and it has been sold. :( The recent podcast published on 4.8.24 is an old episode. Follow Hannah Smith for her new projects! I have no idea how to actually rate this now. It was my favorite podcast and would have rated it 5/5, but now that I know it was sold and she’s no longer the host I want to rate it much lower so I’ll stick with 2/5?
