4.4 out of 5 stars from 40 ratings
  • Poor

    One of those podcasts done because everyone is doing a podcast.

    Based on little factual information, full of conjecture, personal & irrelevant opinions, repetitiveness just to fill space and even at times more about themselves than the actual case.

    After listening to podcasts like MMP or the Monster series, you will soon realise that the bar is very low with this one.
