listened to Mr Ballen and when he went to the unlistenable Amazon Music. I had to find a new person to listen to. After listening to all the podcasts that people said was like MrB. I was not happy with anyone. too much chatter at beginning. to much sillyness, cackling, just annoying. Finally I found you. I have listened to episode 2 and enjoyed it. your voice is clear and the sound is good. and I believe you are in Ontario, so I'm happy to support someone in my own province.

This case is notorious in and around Blackpool, living in the North West and having visited the town all my life I know this case very well! Everything you say I believe is correct with regards to her fate, the only thing I don't believe is that she was used in the meet for kebabs rather this is just a macabre urban myth added to the truth.
