Wow! Another stellar podcast about something that matters to everyone. The cinematic writing, the visceral scenes, the pain of women…worthy and often overlooked situations. Ten out of ten stars, everyone should listen.
Interesting look at how race and privilege influence school systems
Jul 26
Nuanced discussion so far. Lots of negative reviews seem to be knee-jerk reactions to any discussion of race that doesn’t immediately coddle white folks. Taking a moment to step back and consider what this podcast is saying would do many people some good. It’s ok to be influenced by societal conditions (which typically do endorse racist, classist, etc. views) as we all are, but it is not ok to then violently and angrily react when confronted with this reality. Doing the work is hard. Be better.
Seriously?

I loved this podcast but I set it aside for a bit until I was recommending season 1 to a new friend. We listened to the first episode only to learn that to get the whole season beyond episode 2 we would need to subscribe to the NYT. I’d have no problem paying to listen but to link it to a pricey NYT subscription just to listen to this podcast is ridiculous. Otherwise I love season 1. I’ll be back if I can just pay to play or even buy the ability to listen outright without limits.

I hesitated leaving this review but I am not alone.. by episode two I had to stop listening because of the vocal fry. Valley girl stoner dragging every last word out is too much to ignore.
Sobbing.

A beautiful, but sad, story. I find myself sobbing over the loss of a beautiful creature that was endangered only by human greed and hubris.
Season 2, skip it, fiction
Jul 24
The narrative that you spun about Bowe Bergdahl is false and there is plenty of evidence to support the fact that he is a TRAITOR, not a victim.
Good story telling annoying narration
Jul 20
I think the story telling is great. So far the good whale season and the season about crime in Cleveland have been my favorite. Whoever narrates season 12 has the most annoying valley girl voice I have ever heard. Do you really need to rasp and drag out the end of the last word of each sentence? I was so interested as a TN resident but I can’t listen because of her voice sorry.
