Would love to see a more balanced reporting. Every episode appears to be skewed toward the liberal viewpoint instead of just reporting the facts. The topics and stories look interesting and then you hear the episode and it is more of an opinion piece - very disappointing

Loved this story!! I’d heard a few things here and there but mostly small talk. I never worked for the paper but it was a huge deal when I was there in the 90’s. Thanks for letting all of us know what’s what!!

Apple Podcasts5Lola_23764United States3 months ago - Bring back gangster capitalism
I loved every season of gangster capitalism so much. But I am not a fan of season 4. It seems like a worse version of a once amazing podcast. It’s so mediocre and amateur compared to the in-depth story telling and journalism of the OG seasons. Each ep of Campus Files seems way too short and like a watered down version of each story. I’m sad to see my favorite podcast evolve into this.
