From the 9/11 season to the latest about the internet, I can’t believe how many times it’s made me thought “This explains everything!” And it’s total ear candy, too — such great sound and production.

United Statesa month ago - Never again, again
Just finished episode 9. Eye-opening to trace the steps of our country for the past 25 years. Thought provoking, sobering, and brutally honest. So many lingering questions. Where will this all lead and what is the resolution ? Probably what the inhabitants of this land 250 years were asking.

Referring to the “Israel Hamas war” in 2026 is inexcusably cowardly.

I enjoyed listening as the episodes were released. The always leave me with a lot to think about. This latest bonus episode detailing the creation of CBP and ICE and looking at their current practices and issues is sobering.

It was a really good show, but lately it has obviously been pushing an agenda. I was excited to see a new episode until I realized it was basically a bad episode of TDS. It has been removed from my library and unfollowed.
