  • Purple Heart Warriors

    Fantastic drama. Utterly astounding how they capture the feelings. I didn’t know anything about this part of Japanese-American war history. 💜

  • I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes, clunky exposition dump with characters explaining things to the audience not each other. Don't waste your time

  • Yet another in the increasing, misleading list of scripted podcasts. I'd been looking forward to this one, and downloaded all the episodes available- then left, deflated, disappointed, and duped after about 10 minutes. I'd much rather hear real voices, not some lame, sophomoric writing read by high-school caliber actors. If it's a scripted show, then SAY SO IN YOUR DESCRIPTION. Do better, BBC.
