2020-09-14 23:06:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello Patreon,
Thank you very much for your ongoing support. Just a quick note to clear up any confusion on Case 156. Shergar was originally released as Case 153. However that was an error. We removed the episode a few days later, however by that time many of you had already listened. We then released Anni Hindocha in it's place that same week. So if you listened to Shergar before it was removed, you got two new episodes that week. We mentioned at the time that Shergar would ...

In 1980, an Irish racehorse named Shergar took the industry by storm, becoming a racing champion and national treasure.

Not sure if it’s the tenderness of author Jeremy Massey’s writing or the distressing way in which Paul vanished, but whilst none of these episodes are made for easy listening, there’s a particular density of sorrow in this one. Heartbreaking, lump-in-your-throat stuff.
One thing’s for sure; they’re all equally important as they are difficult to hear.
