There is a strong legal argument that GDPR legislation trumps other considerations. 

In other words, it might not be legal to refuse to release records under a GDPR request because (for example) such a release might make it less likely that some of those interviewed would cooperate with future Commissions of Investigation. 
It would certainly - in my opinion - be against the principals of natural law for such exemptions to be allowed, as this would in effect allow criminals to obstruct scrutiny of their crimes merely on account of the fact that they had discussed said crimes with a Commission of Investigation.

I wish you would change the settings to make these podcasts downloadable so one can listen on the mp3 player on the go, rahter than be forced to sit in front of the PC to listen. The library doesn't give you that much time on the PC.
