Love the pod, really well put together. The latest one about the school stabbing makes me sick. Sounds like both kids were absolute trouble. How the hell are parents letting kids buy knives? I blame the parents for the way the kids turned out. One of them paid the ultimate price but it sounds like it could have gone either way.
Can we get a more organized feed with individual cases and filtering out all the paywalled episodes
Content is brilliant but desperately needs to put cases into ‘seasons’ folders or similar instead or dumping into the main page. If there are updates on cases advise followers where they are. Please and thank you.
I found the Letby podcast extremely informative and well executed. This new series not so much.
I think if you’re going to report on an ongoing court case, be mindful that you are not gratuitous with details that could upset friends and family.
Also please take care when choosing actors to read from the case, for example the judge sounded as if he was from Father Ted. This just undermines the whole situation.
