  • Love this podcast!

    Stumbled across this looking for podcasts on the Port Arthur Massacre. I really enjoy how different this is from a lot of true crime podcasts, two mates having a chat about true crime cases and after research sharing their thoughts etc which we all love doing with a friend! I like that it’s a conversation! It makes it different from a lot of typical true crime podcasts. Both have their place but genuinely am loving listening to these so much

  • Copied from previous podcasts

    This has a nice casual feel to it, feels conversational however having listened to an earlier podcast from 2017 after I listened to this I can say this is so similar that you would have to say it’s been copied almost word for word. Not original work
