    It’s weird
    I don’t understand how this passed the litmus test? Who actually sat around together reviewing & reading and said “Yes, this is ready. I believe we have a hit on our hands” As others have said, it is painful to listen & follow seamlessly because one has to skip/fast forward so often & there’s so much repetition that I still am not sure I have heard it all. Terrible. Really really bad. I have second hand embarrassment.

    Such a great podcast!
    I love this. It’s the closest you can get to being inside a courtroom. Some have complained about it being so long, but these reporters are sitting in trial all day every day, and then coming to make this podcast and tell us about what they heard. I think they do a fantastic job.

    Everything wrong with ‘true crime’
    Clout obsessed lunatics who treat death like a spectacle. 0 respect for victims.
  • valery_sablin
    shameless
    incredibly distasteful and unashamed of making a product out of murder, even of minors.

    Gripping! Daring! Addicting
    Phenomenal podcast! I’m a nurse in America and I’ve been in the medical field for 20 years. I’ve worked on the NICU and I’m baffled by the chain of events that was allowed to go on for so long! I pray lady justice comes for everyone person who failed to act according. I wish we had access to more details involving the trial as we do in the US but earned a new respect of judicial systems internationally. Praying for the families & the lives lost. My God rest their souls.

    The intro —— UGH
    Be prepared to skip 2 min and off and on throughout every episode. The actual content of the podcast could have been 5 hours and the rest is repetitive, fluff, and “who we are not naming for legal reasons” OVER AND OVER.

    Fantastic info—intro is too long, music is annoying, and the random interviews at the end don’t fit
    This podcast will absolutely provide you with the step by steps! Great, neutral approach. No discussion or debate, just delivering the facts. Just be ready to skip a bunch. First, the intro is SO repitive and LONG. It was fine at first but im at episode 27 and it’s driving me nuts. The episodes are short so if you’re binging, you’re hearing the same thing every 15 minutes (and its like 3 minutes long) The music doesn’t work. It’s not bad, but they play it as a break and it just gets annoying The episodes also end on really random interviews??? They’re not bad content but I mentally clock out each time and have to start the next one because I want to hear about the content of the episode, not these 5 minute interviews.

    Great Binge
    I truly enjoyed this podcast. At first I was unsure about the short episodes but I appreciate that there’s no fluff and they posted consistently. The intro is long but I do think that’s probably some legal protection. Great work Caroline and Liz.

    3 minute intro. But the source for this disgusting womens case.
    I wanted to read a book on this case but none has been written yet. This podcast has all the details. This case is one that even die hard true crime listeners will have trouble with. It is so so so so so so so many innocent, vulnerable BABIES being harmed, sometimes violently?!? Devastating how many ill or premature babies that would have been fine, totally On the road to recovery, that she viciously murdered! Lucy Letby is a evil vile narcissistic sociopath!

    Informed and humane
    I only joined at episode 51 which covered the verdict. I was so impressed by the depth and sensitivity of the episode. The end was beautiful and moving (I won’t give it away).

    Intro and music
    The introduction at 3 minutes long and music in between segments is obnoxious. Otherwise this would be a great podcast about the trial. Honestly, I probably won’t listen anymore because it’s so annoying.
  • DanielleDNA
    Kill the intro - otherwise it’s awesome!
    The intro is obnoxiously long, I always plan to skip x30 at least 5 times but the content is amazing.
  • awernli
    Great story but the music is killing me
    Love this story, definitely only giving exactly what jury hears-which is sometimes hard because I’d like more detail. But the horrible music needs to go, I almost stopped listening because it plays every 3 minutes-why?!!! It’s awful. And such a long intro for such short episodes-just skip it and tell people to listen to the previous episodes to catch up.
  • jsndbdd d
    skip to the three minute mark every episode
    the intro that’s three minute is annoying when the eps are short. good coverage otherwise but i’ve def thought about wandering away bc of the intro music and the interlude in such short eps.
  • Megan D 45
    Great Podcast
    Great coverage of the case!
  • EdgarMoose
    Missing key details
    This seems to be coming from a prosecutorial bias. Also, the intro is beyond annoying, where it states “each one of these babies is, or was, someone’s son or daughter…” well that goes without saying. The reporting of the defense contribution to the case is an afterthought.
