I do admire the hard work put in by Michael - he has such passion and dedication - in each and every one of the episodes. The amount of research he does is astounding. He’d tell us - many of us being his avid listeners - when he has to go off to do his research, share with us his thought process, his opinions, what he goes through in his daily life (well, in a way), his apparent countless diets, his claimed love affair with luminous French actress Eva Green, his fascination with cakes, biscuits and such
Discovered this brilliant true crime podcast series when I had watched snippets of the Operation Mincemeat movie which starred Colin Firth where the plot involved using a corpse to carry false military secrets. How they obtained the corpse intrigued me and fortunately, someone in the comments section heaped praise on Michael’s podcasts as he had covered an episode on this corpse - Glyndwr Michael. How Glyndwr met his death was tragic. It was wrongfully labeled as ‘suicide poisoning’ but Michael had worked very hard researching this. He walked us through on how Glyndwr Michael met his eventual and early death. Poor bloke - to think his death served his country well and not his life.
Michael’s brilliant podcasts are weekly and I always look forward to them.

Without fail, they’ll have me laughing out loud with tears streaming down my eyes amidst snorts and very unladylike guffaws

Have to admit that I was relieved about the twist which was a suspect all along but really, that other twist? A tad far fetched but nonetheless the performances were more enjoyable over the story, so all is forgiven.

To hear his voice as Mel narrated his own book - it was a blissful experience for me.

Admittedly read this because of the tv series - that Alan Ritchson was marvellous as the protagonist. Having discovered the writing prowess of Lee Child, I’ll read more of his now. Not a fan of the narrator but now a fan of Lee. Have to say I wish Roscoe was more like the tv series’ depiction.
