The story is well told and the podcast is intriguing. While I agree with many other comments in the reviews about the victim mishandling during the Jane bonus episode, I found it equally empowering at the maturity and insight she displayed. I also do applaud the narrator for letting that empowerment be spoken in her own words. Personal opinion, but I’m not interested in hearing a journalist tell a young woman how she should feel. He created a space for her to be honest and open, and it felt as if she found the experience cathartic (and she was clearly well received).
It’s also important not to discount the other victims of this sociopath. Jane’s story stings because she was so young, but I feel just as deeply for the victims who thought they should have known better, who cant rely on naivety as a coping mechanism, and who have less time to recover from their victimization.
At the end of the day it’s a well researched heartbreaking story that displays empathy towards the lives effected. Love to those involved & kudos to the production team.

This podcast was such great storytelling! No episode felt unnecessary, and despite my limited knowledge of the financial world Hamish operated in, I still was able to understand the impact of his duplicity. I’m also glad that the final episode referred to him as a predator and clarified that his relationship with Jane was predatory. I’m so glad the victims got some sense of relief through his sentencing.

So sad that Hamish wasn’t caught earlier. Interesting to hear how white collar crime is sentenced. Hamish destroyed so many lives. Podcast was well done. I was hooked after the first episode.

This is one of the most compelling podcasts ever. To listen to each segment as more victims of psycho Hamish come out with their stories. And best of all, to get the satisfaction of hearing his sentencing! I truly hope this story reaches the world - to help people have healthy skepticism and avoid the heartbreak of being taken by crooks.
