4.5 out of 5 stars from 110 ratings
  • Not much new, and over-dramatised

    The reporter places himself at the centre of this show. He is more interested in telling a story, with trendy dramatic mood music, than in presenting the evidence calmly and allowing us to draw our own conclusions

  • Walter Cronkite would be proud

    An objective series that puts together facts without the narrative that is so common in just about all mainstream media today. Please keep up the fantastic work on this podcast.
