Agree wholeheartedly with every single point you made.
My fear and perspective also stands true.
They can both exist at the same time.
United, as we both hope Theo’s family find answers soon.
One can, rightfully, look at the podcast subjectively as a labour of love because of proximity and personal involvement.
It has sentimental value.
One can, also rightfully, look at it objectively for quality, storytelling aptitude and craftsmanship.
This has more to do with the publisher than the contributors.
It’s an old radio and tv trick of the trade (now extended to podcasts) to sensationalise and draw out stories when there is lack of information and clues available. It’s classic soap opera structure. Unfortunately, this has the real potential to cheapen and undermine a story, and lose clever audiences rather than engage them. I truly hope this tactic isn’t at all relevant to Theo’s podcast.
I’m sure those close to Tyrrell case, would be a little hurt by you saying you were bored by their podcast. I’m sure you meant no disrespect.
Likewise, I apologise if my two short sentences regarding my fear hurt you. That was not my intention.
I just hope no one else here is targeted should they choose to opine differently on the podcast quality than those of the Byron Bay community.
We can be on the same side yet think differently and occasionally wish things were done differently.
Once again, apologies.
PS, pro tip: had you not quoted me, I probably wouldn’t have felt targeted and therefore, felt no need to respond because you are entitled to your opinion.
