Critic Reviews

Patricia Nicol • The Times UK • Feb 5, 2023
"Ashby and Taylor’s grim, gripping narrative includes ailing animals, a deathbed confession and heroic grassroots activism. It is not just a Northern Irish story. This ten-part series (each episode is 15 minutes) feels necessary listening."
Score: 5
Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Jan 29, 2023
"This is a grim story, pacily told, and it’s surely not over yet. You have a feeling it might trigger the sort of response that the Post Office scandal did: a gradual public fury that results in proper action. Let’s hope so."

Alexi Duggins • The Guardian • Jan 26, 2023
"Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor’s 10-part investigation into the scandal surrounding UK waste disposal is explosively revelatory. A shocking listen that’s a must for anyone who cares about our planet – not bad given episodes are only 15 minutes long."
