Great Listen….As it happens!

This pod is amazing. Unlike most true crime listens I’ve heard, this one is a little different in that it’s a daily recap. I am following it in the Sydney Morning Herald and on the ABC, but this audio medium takes it a level further. The guys are great at describing everything in just the right amount of detail: leaving my imagination to run wild. A true gem of a podcast!
