    I do enjoy this podcast but there is something about the delivery of the ads that I find really irritating, they seem too long or too gushing.

    Fair play in general though, takes a lot of skill and craftsmanship to get a successful podcast up and running.

    Started it recently myself, it's fantastic. The research and care in crafting the time line and script is very evident.

    The presenter's accent did bother me until I saw her post above; I can forgive the accent knowing she's actually spent a considerable amount of time in the US, and isn't putting it on (or using US slang) just for effect.

    I highly recommend giving this a listen and am very happily queuing up the next five in my podcast queue!

    The latest episode about Philomena Gillane is some story.

    The amount of twists and turns are mental. I was a young teenager at the time and don't recall it going through the courts etc.

    I mean the thoughts of someone driving to Dublin and asking what seemed to be destitute drunks, and obviously strangers, who you met on the street to "do a job for you," beyond belief.

    The "intricacies" of the relationship(s) too, wow..

    Well worth a listen. I've been googling, dying to find out more, a very intriguing case.

    I believe they had phone records too. He sent a text to Rachel and said to Gardai he was in Phibsboro but the phone records say it was sent from the area of his home for example.

    I was standing beside him in a shop when he was a suspect but still free. An absolute giant of a man in real life.

    Back on topic, the Gardai knew it was him from the start from his interviews, they just had to prove it.

    Yes, it's worth a listen and it's still famous today. You should listen to episode-94 Bonus: Serial - Slawomir Gierlowski.

    Yes his phone pinged a tower in the naul when he said he was in work. Then he said he never left his colleague, his colleague said he did. Circumstantial but convicted.

    not impressed, really sounds like someone reading from a script or a book (only listened to the first few - hope she improves)

    Would you prefer if she had no script and just waffled away ?

    Thanks. Typing 'Mens Rea' into the app didn't bring it up but when I typed in some of the subtitle it then appeared.
