“Freaky, creepy, insanely addictive. Listen. But not in the dark.” GRAZIA
“An enormously intriguing podcast that mercifully avoids trying to scare its listeners with Scooby-Doo-style theatrics. Instead it asks us to empathise with others, open our minds and contemplate matters outside our experience.” FINANCIAL TIMES
“As you can tell, Robins and producer/director Simon Barnard have gone to immense lengths to make this podcast work. And it does: this really is a strange story, and The Battersea Poltergeist is a fabulous telling of it.” THE OBSERVER
