Love listening to this pod cast and do pay for the subscription. Every case/trail he delivered in a balanced view and at times made me consider my own maybe bias or narrow minded opinions :-)
Good but… I enjoy this podcast but find it surprising that journalists don’t use the correct grammar… It’s ‘there were’ (plural, in the past) rather than ‘there was’ (singular).
This could be superb as these are serious journalists doing the important work of court reporting. However, by the time you have scrolled through the countless adverts (come on, the Mail is hardly cash-strapped!), the repetition and the reminders to subscribe you are left with astonishingly little content. The many grammatical errors are also unacceptable.
Very poor reporting - I will not credit it with the term journalism. Sensationalist and lacking depth - they seem to have an inability to properly investigate and take a critical, unbiased view. I was just listening to a recent episode when Liz stated it ‘made my skin crawl’. No ability to remain objective and professional. Also, they pretend they are concerned and think about the morality of what they are reporting when they are clearly voyeuristic and looking for sensational stories.
Caroline and Liz seem unable to blow their noses. Sniffing after each sentence is awful to listen to when you’re wearing earbuds. Not a great look for ‘professional’ podcasters.
