Brilliant podcast telling fascinating stories, often with details that are missed in other podcasts/reports. I don’t usually enjoy podcasts that have regular guests but this one is an exception; all the guests are just as engaging as the hosts and fascinating to listen to
Great stories, great interviews with knowledgeable people. It's really interesting to get the inside stories and such in-depth views on crime. It's fascinating. Really enjoy the series. Only criticism, turn the levels up because with headphones on full volume it's still difficult to hear, and then when the adverts come on, they blow my eardrums out.
A very interesting and insightful interview with Neil Basu. What a great man he is.
