Gripping from start to finish. The only downside to this podcast is that it contains adverts, if you can skip through these, it's a totally fascinating podcast.

Good podcast although I got very irritated by the annoying whiny American ads.
As for the story , I just wish somebody handed him a pack of f***ing condoms.
Truly acted like a man , selfish and destroying lives in search for his own pleasure.

Interesting story

Bloody annoying with all the loud, stupid, inappropriate ads peppered throughout. I just couldn’t stand to listen to it.

Would have been great
