  • Will be missed.

    Great show with lots of details on the case. Bummed it’s coming to an end. Lots of details about what goes on in Mexico never come to light. The people close to the action are often too scared to talk and reporters put their lives on the line to give us high-level coverage. I really think there could be entire university-level courses taught on the subject if we knew even half of what has gone on. Unfortunately, because of this lack of information, I think the content across the entire media lac... more

  • Interesting topic annoying host who loves the sound of his own voice

    I enjoyed the subject matter but the host irritated me. Whether that being his penchant of taking ages to articulate a thought while the listener patiently waits or his habit of rubbishing conspiracy theories because there is “no evidence” while dismissing actual evidence as circumstantial.

    Often found myself being rubbed the wrong way by the host but if you can grit your teeth and bare it. There are some interesting discussions on this podcast.
