I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Owen Bennett Jones is one of my all time favorite journalists, but in this program he really outdo himself. His personal involvement and perspectives are priceless. I listen to BBC World News and Global podcasts every day. Started listening to BBC on the old shortwave radio back in 1987... Glad you promoted this series on the news, I would never have found it otherwise. would love to listen to other assassination investigations. many thanks Laila

This is such an interesting podcast and has provided insights into a country, a culture, a political state and historic point that I had no idea even happened previously to listening. The depth of the research and understanding of this podcast is phenomenal. Absolutely worth the time!

I had no idea who this incredible woman was before this podcast, and the integrity and depth that the reporter has brought to telling not just her story but also his own is all the difference. I'm now very interested in learning more about Pakistani history and politics. When our own woman prime minister was elected and was later revealed to be pregnant, Jacinda Ardern, she was compared to Benizir Bhutto and it was with pride that I could appreciate the comparison. This podcast is an absolute must for anyone interested in the roles of women in politics, especially in democracy, for feminists, and for people interested in Pakistanti political history and culture. I'll be listening to the whole thing more than once.
