Just off the cuff, I’d say it was a pretty darn good story and not just sew-sew – it suits the character and was tailor-made to please the listener. This wasn’t just pulled off the rack.

Great story. I always enjoy listening to the Jim Nolan stories.

Another great chapter! Though one may nitpick how a grown-up man hadn’t realised he has dislexia and why Lieutenant gives essential case evidence to the witness at the end, it still doesn’t ruin the whole picture of the story. The voices were great (though sometimes actors may have tried to make emotions more realistic to some situations). Although it seems that I am critising a lot, it’s just because listing everything that’s good in the show would take too long
It’s very great and enjoyable, can’t wait for more!

Thanks, Listener, for the comments and constructive criticism. Only by knowing the show’s strengths and weaknesses can we make it better.
Re your points: Bishop knew about his dyslexia but refused to believe it, thinking everyone in prison was just making fun of him. Also, Carmichael gave Antonio the clothes to look over for any possible clues. He certainly never intended to let “The Brave Tailor” keep them. They were too big for him anyway!
Please keep listening and leaving any comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
