Impressive individual nevertheless

I am surprised this has never been mentioned, unless of course I’d missed it. Jade was such an extremely clever and well spoken individual, to the point of winning a prestigious writing competition - that if she had actually put the same amount of research and dedication to peruse a n honest career, she’d have had a very good chance in becoming one of the people she claimed to be! She could have stopped at winning that competition and attempt to make it in the real literary world. She was so impressive she could have achieved everything she’d put her mind into. And yet…and instead…

I’ve listened to so so many podcasts but the one of tragic deaths of Elizabeth and Mary has touched me so much. Massive shout out to Elizabeth’s sisters for being so vigilant in keeping going to get justice. A story brilliantly told and presented and with the stunning orchestra I wept buckets at the end. Great work xx
Series 1 is wonderful

A great unbiased listen but slightly dismayed at the use of the term ‘cot death’ this is an outdated term that is no longer used in cases of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. The reasoning behind this is to clarify that the death is usually sudden but not related strictly to the child’s sleeping arrangements. Studies have found that premature babies are more susceptible to SIDS due to underdeveloped respiratory systems but the death can happen anywhere. The only certainty in SIDS is the sudden aspect.
