- Super irritating narration.
Couldn’t get past ep 2. The narration is terrible and self centred. The pronunciation of the words so irritating. Weirdly pronouncing the last third of each word like nails on a chalk board.

United Kingdom22 days ago - Really bad
Poor storytelling, production, reporting and research. Good true crime podcasts are effortlessly entertaining. This was far from mediocre. The production with dramatic music attempts to tease cliff hangers at parts, which was very odd… The English accents attempted to mask how little substance this narrative had. It wasn’t compelling in the least.

I’ve listened to all of the world of secrets podcasts - death in Dubai is an intriguing story. Wonderfully reported thus far - only on episode 4 and I am on the edge of my seat. I desperately want to see justice for these girls.

Very well researched and told with compassion and heart. Some others reviewing this podcast seem so angry at these poor victims of human trafficking and abuse. This vitriol should be pointed squarely at the men who perpetrate this industry. Excellent journalism.
