Reviews
- Jarring interview by Raymond Bonner
The Teacher’s Pet and The Teacher’s Trial are outstanding podcasts and i am in awe of what Hedley Thomas achieved and the professionalism of his colleagues from The Australian. However, the tone of this recent interview by Raymond Bonner, including the laughter of the audience at several points, in response to remarks of Bonner, both unsettling and distasteful. It felt at odds with all the outstanding work that has gone before. I wish it hadn’t been released.

This podcast is well-done but it spends way too much time droning on and on about the same basic facts. I know that true crime podcasts are a great way to deep-dive but this is way excessive. That said I think this is the most outrageous teacher/student crime incident ever. This story needed to be told. And it is told well. Just expect a lot of repetition.

United States4 months ago - I Wanted To Like This
I am a true crime podcast junkie, however I am super sensitive to extra wet mouth noises and have diagnosed misophonia. Hedley’s thick, sticky voice had so many extra wet tongue noises while he spoke I could barely get through an episode. I made it to three before I just couldn’t handle it any more. Needs better sound editing and he needs to back away from the mic when he speaks to get rid of the thick, sticky moving tongue noises he makes when talking. Wish I could have made it farther.
Apple Podcasts1clynnkUnited States4 months ago If you like listening to the same information over and over and over this podcast is for you. This story could've been told in half of the amount of episodes, could've been so much better.
Podcast Addict14 months agofistfulofpowder- Unbelievably Repetitive
I have listened to a ton of podcasts. When I saw the “repetitive” reviews, I ignored them and assumed they didn’t like going into great detail on a subject. I was wrong. The first roughly 10 episodes all keep repeating the same barebones information, and adds nothing new. I can usually look past a little repetition but this was unbearable. I skipped to the last 2 episodes for the resolution. Kudos for putting the spotlight on an obviously corrupt case. But… this is not a top podcast experience l... more
