Latest podcast concerning Wrong Place Wrong Time
(closed)
(Preview)
What a frightening ordeal to have to go through! This is a fascinating podcast of a couple's ordeal with hoons at a campsite. You must listen to it! The only problem I have with the podcast is the quietness of the host compared to the loudness of the guest speakers.
