  • I love this format.

    I Enjoy both hosts I know Professor Wilson from previous shows. I don’t watch the “morning” shows and am wondering why the hubbub about someone’s grandma. Surely the Epstein victims deserve the press. The Post Office Horizon Scandal has nothing on the current US regime.

  • Balanced

    Very good balance between these two intelligent men, they don’t always agree which makes it more interesting. Only one problem there is only one episode a week.

  • Amazing blend journalism and criminology

    Enjoying the discussions every week peeling back what goes on in a case. I especially enjoy their deconstruction of streaming crime series. Would love to hear Prof Wilsons thoughts on nextflix neighbour next door after the discussion about the Liverpool case
