    Such thorough, thoughtful journalism
    I knew nothing about this case before I started listening to this podcast. What an incredibly well put together story. The information is presented in a neutral fashion, and allows the listener to consider the ethical and moral questions raised by it. The coverage of the judgment and, the subsequent analysis is beautiful, poignant and thoughtful.

    Scintillating!!
    This is a very good listen. The podcast has been a great, deeper dive into a riveting story that has piqued interest far beyond Australian Shores. It will be very interesting to see if Roberts-Smith keeps his VC!

    Why all the teasers but no content?
    I don’t understand why Guardian is placing teasers on other regular news podcast shows when you then land on the show page & find it’s not available. Annoying.
