  • Phenomenal Podcast

    The sound mixing in this podcast is art; I was hooked on the first episode. The music, interviews, the interplay of the news footage and the reporters sharing stories. It really brings to life some of these events. This podcast is the perfect solution to getting informed about events that you didn't get a chance to follow, because sometimes it can be hard to wade through the news articles and piece together the events. more

  • Love the format.

    What appeals the most is the format of this podcast. Starting in the middle, returning to the beginning, sparks my interest. Great documentary

  • Carol Off

    Just caught the Bhutto podcast with Carol Off. Fascinating “back” story, to be sure. Had no idea that she was in the mix with that tragedy. I attended CCH in London with Carol in the ‘70s, though we travelled in different circles back then. Nice to hear a former classmate share this event and nice to see that Carol has since settled with AIH these many years. Bravo, Carol. more
