I thought the podcast was a very informative and educational approach to spiking. I feel as though those who were uneducated on how to receive help before will now be able to take the right action, thanks to your podcast.

Very interesting podcast. Spiking is currently a real issue within pubs and clubs up and down the country and I would imagine is very scary for the victim. Whilst it's reassuring that conversations are happening for West Yorkshire, more definitely needs to be done and those who are guilty of this crime should face harsher penalties.

The government needs to introduce new laws severely punishing anyone caught doing this.

This podcast was really insightful as to what action is and needs to be taken to prevent future incidents. Was really good to hear first hand what had happpened when Georgia was spiked and how she felt about the terrifying experience. Hopefully this podcast will help those who have had an awful experience like this too and show that there is a real problem within clubbing culture.
