4.6 out of 5 stars from 15.2k ratings
  • Good but far far too long

    Excellent investigation and impact but my goodness it needs some heavy editing and to learn how to tell a story. As 6 episodes it would have been excellent as 16 episodes it lacks communication skills.

  • Repetitive and meandering

    I enjoyed the first few episodes but after that, this podcast became insanely drawn out, a bit too “stream of consciousness”, and needs some serious editing. Between the repeated sound bites and discussion points over and over, predictable misogyny (whether due to the era, Australian culture or both), and the infuriating stream of interviewees who keep passing the buck regarding whose responsibility it was to speak up, this is a frustrating story to listen to. I googled the outcome (which is gre... more

    More than a podcast but a dogged, exhaustive work of journalism. Hopefully this man has gotten many awards for his work.

  • Impossibly drawn out

    An interesting case but it could have been told in half the number of episodes. There is absolutely no reason for this to be so impossibly drawn out. There are so many repetitions it almost feels like a joke. I have listened to the whole thing but I truly wish I hadn’t.

  • A tad long

    Poor Lynn! Justice never happened for her. What a complete mess. I feel like there could have been some editing done to get this down to 6 episodes. 8 was too many.

Q: What do we know about Donna and what was going on in the family home?
