- Well done
A good podcast. The Irish Police Force at the time appeared hopelessly inept. Marie Farrell was a serial liar intent on being involved with no consideration for whom she impacted. The French trial of Ian Bailey was an absolute farce laden with bias and injustice. Ian Bailey deserved better. A good man he might not have been, but a murderer it is doubtful. I feel sorry for the victims son, but he isn’t a credible subject to interview or have involved.

I was recommended this listen and I wasn’t sure it was for me. I was wrong, dead wrong. From ep 1 I was captivated and hooked. I have never listened to anything with as much atmosphere and energy. The music, the interviews and the way it is directed and put together. The team behind it should be really proud of their work. Absolutely well done and thanks for your efforts. Brilliant.

It’s pretty clear from this and the Netflix docuseries he'd suffered plenty, and the decline in his health was a direct impact from stress (or guilt?) from the media maelstrom and the French court’s conviction.
Still, what m... more

United States7 months ago This is a shining example of how good a true crime investigative journalism podcast can be. They are extremely fair, explore all angles, and have excellent access to not only the people involved but the reports and information. What really sets this podcast apart from others is how immersed you can get in it without being interrupted by monetization money grab ads every few minutes. It really helps with the continuity.
