  • So incredibly well done

    Just brilliant. West Cork has the best sound design I’ve heard in any podcast. Wonderfully written and reported. So many podcasts in this genre feel exhibitionist, but Jennifer and Sam seem completely earnest in trying to understand what happened. They do a beautiful job of honoring Sophie’s memory while taking care to address issues of domestic violence and the shortcomings of the initial investigation. Well worth a close listen!

  • More please!

    Please could we have another series of this superbly atmospheric podcast? It’s such a haunting story and it seems so much has happened since- I’d love to have an update.

  • Not a case I'd heard of before, I don't believe, but I heard it mentioned on All Killa No Filla podcast so downloaded it. Very well presented and it is handy to have a translation now and then as the Cork accent is a tough one to understand at times !! Something said in episode 1 was sad, too, "It took someplace special and made it everywhere else".....
