- Serious subject matter- but story just drags on, and in, losing my interest.
Each episode could be 1/2 the time. It’s very hard to keep my attention focused on the podcast, lots of extra, slow moving scenes. Get to the point ! Might have been better in a video documentary or something, not a podcast.

Listening to the first Austin Tice episode and what did I learn after 37 minutes? He’s missing. There is just not much here in terms of substance. Curious format also; very non linear.
Apple Podcasts3MlpeticoUnited States22 days ago - Thank You For Great Journalistic Integrity
This is why NPR and All The Media Companies involved exist. They know who did it and I hope justice will come. Thank you for this series. You all make me proud. I am so moved.
Apple Podcasts5LaCMFUnited States2 months ago - Excellence in reporting
I am appreciative of the work this team did to uncover that which a local PD wanted to keep hidden. This is an exceptional doc about the unbearable loss of life of a 16 year old who tried to protest what he believed was injustice. I am glad I listened but wish the death of Antonio Mays Jr. had not happened.

Not just a thrilling investigation into a mysterious death, but also a thought-provoking look at what goes wrong when people have convinced themselves beyond any doubt that they are the good guys.
