  • What It’s Like When Monty Python Runs Your Town

    One of the first California desert communities to welcome large scale cannabis cultivation, the comedy of errors that ensues (including failing to collect the taxes that were supposed to save the town) is an object lesson in what NOT to do if you’re counting on cannabis to save the day. more

  • Great show!

    Though some might argue that 5 minutes of ad, recap and table of contents before the episode starts is excessive.

  • Riveting listen

    Compelling and well told, the story of Adelanto is a modern parable that keeps you thinking, long after you’ve finished listening. Highly recommend all of crooked media’s thoughtful and entertaining content

  • Loses its way

    Starts out very compelling with a great premise of cannabis and corruption. About four episodes in, it veers off into monotonous small town politics. Should have done a far more in-depth look at the initial story. Disappointing.
