  • Timely and brilliant

    This podcast has scary parallels to what is happening in America today and those responsible for taking us to the brink of dictatorship. It is brilliant and exceptional in its delivery, its stories and in its narrator, Oona Chaplin, whose family lived the pain of the so-called “Red Scare.”

    But this podcast is as much a warning as it is a story.

    As with McCarthyism, Trumpism is an evil insidious cancer on the American body politic. And like those would be dictators that have come before, Donal... more

  • Found the story of this era deeply interesting and tragic.

  • Fascinating! Only one issue and it’s an Apple issue

    So this is an amazing podcast, I’ve learned so much I did not know about! However I’m concerned as I’m not able to listen to either of the episodes pertaining to Charlie Chaplain.. it says episode 3 and 9 are unavailable??? Apple please explain!

  • Worth Persisting With

    Oona is a beautiful narrator. Tends to go off on tangents but the stories of Chaplin , Trumbo and Greer show that the apple pie and picket fence view of America hid a Stasi style state where playing a tramp could get you exiled or worse , going to the wrong party put you on a blacklist. Thank you Oona and it’s interesting that this story could only be told by a Uk and Canadian broadcaster. Shameful story.
