Absolutely fab podcasts! I am addicted!! Iain is so witty and funny and Laura as the "straight woman", it's fantastic. These two make the stories with the additional backstories or conversations about the stories. I have recommended to many friends who I know would love this too. Keep the stories coming please x

This is utter trash. I was surprised there were researchers and an editor on this podcast. I’m not sure these people are broadcasters, but they certainly aren’t storytellers or investigators. I’m surprised the male has a Law degree, but a lack of focus tells me why he didn’t practise. Two giggling teenagers mostly absorbed in their own lives (and fame?!?) with an occasional jolt of reality forcing a serious tone. This is very poor indeed from the BBC.

First episode was 29 mins and the first four minutes was "bants" as cringing as a BBC football commentator talking to a professional footballer as if they were in a bar after the match. Very few facts and lots of gap filling and reference to pictures you obviously can't see. I am leaving this review as I was so disgruntled wasting half an hour of my life. Listen to Casefile, here is an example of investigation, setting the facts and telling the story.

This is in such bad taste - these 2 clowns are literally laughing at true crime stories. I have listened to 2 episodes and am appalled. The second is on stephanie slater and they are cracking jokes. Please never do another podcast ever again!!!
