Has anyone listened to the latest theories on Richard III's murder of the Princes?

Philippa Langley and a massive team have worked for seven years to prove the Princes were not murdered in the Tower.

Podcast : https://podfollow.com/gone-medieval/episode/177b82aa71d267709ac57caead96cf469f7731a2/view

Also on the UK TV on Channel 4: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-princes-in-the-tower-the-new-evidence

I was fascinated, and quite convinced by the latest findings.

What does everyone else think?

Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought #onthisday in 1485.
A good example of Tudor propaganda.

A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
and
The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620
