Anyone listened to Stalked on BBC Sounds?

[StormCloud52]

I’ve listened and the story is awful, I hope she gets some justice.

But what happened on that trip to the US? Did I miss something? It was made out to be heinous but it just sounded like they had an argument then the stalking started?

I did listen but gave up after about 4/5 episodes. I took a dislike to the victim which was unfortunate and the whole podcast just seemed very self indulgent and wasn't surprised it was made by a friend/relative. The actual story could have been told in two episodes and I had this niggling feeling that we weren't being told the full story. That may however have been because the actual story was badly told.

I really enjoyed it but it definitely left me with more questions than answers!

I haven't finished it but the Alice episode was really sad

Yeah it didn't grip me and I felt the same. It's probably prejudice on my part but I found her posh drawling accent really irritating. I think Carol Cadwalladar is amazing but somehow this seemed like a massive pile of nepotism to make this into a big story and giving the young woman a high profile.

I think I am being unfair most likely but I lost interest.

There was definitely a lack of brevity

I felt the same about the trip to the US - it didn't make sense! I did feel sorry for Hannah as the stalking seemed relentless but there was no real sense that she was actually ever in danger.

Did you not listen to the whole thing? The point was that stalking is often not taken seriously. "You're not in danger". "Ignore it." "He'll go away eventually". Then it ramps up or, in Alice's case, it ends in tragedy.

And why should she be in literal danger to be offered real help. Is it not enough that her privacy is being invaded no matter where in the world she is!?

But I agree that I didn't really understand the catalyst. I keep meaning to go back to the episode with the argument in the US because it seemed like I missed something. Glad I'm not the only one!

I've been waiting for the whole series to come out so I've got 10 episodes now and assume that's it? Been looking forward to listening to it for weeks now so I hope it's worth it! I wasn't even sure how many episodes there were or if each was a stand alone story in its own right or part of a series 🤔

I liked it and thought it was well done. I didn’t like what Hannah had to go through obvs.

I listened to it too , I agree that the us episode seems odd and the whole thing is a bit disjointed.
The stalking must of been horrendous and I really feel for her but it's a shame we never got to hear Kins side of the story it would've given the whole thing more balance.

@StressyMcStressFace , I think it's 20 episodes long but they are all available now on bbc sounds
