Look up the "Dunning Kruger Effect" and it will explain how bad this podcast host is.

The research , presentation of material, make this an outstanding podcast.
Truly a documentary podcast, very informative and professionally done.
I basically just binged all 4 seasons, although it’s now 4 am , it was worth it!
I recommend this podcast , if your interested in an informative, docu style podcast.
I learned a lot …. ☮️💟
Just found this podcast and love how much it sounds like Chicago.
A beautiful telling of the stories of resilience under the hardest of circumstances. I was deeply moved by the reporting that happened and walked away with more knowledge.
WBEZ and Motive never fail to keep me listening! I have enjoyed each season of the show and cannot wait for the next!
