  • Fabulous - so sad you are stopping.

    After never missing an episode I am going to miss your informative and witty chats.

    I desperately hope that somewhere in the echelons of power someone will decide that cancelling Rabbit Hole Detectives is a very bad idea and bring you back to us!

  • The Detectives will be missed

    A great and unique podcast, marred only by the very abrupt end! I know Richard now has a new solo podcast but it’s a shame they couldn’t wind this one down first :(
