Netherlands12 days ago - Feel like their hearts are in the right place but…
…they continue to disproportionately and almost exclusively cover stories about white women victims. I’m not saying that the stories they cover about these women are not tragic and devastating, I’m merely pointing out that they continue to contribute to the huge disparity in media coverage of white women victims vs. women of color victims. The reason I say I think their heart is in the right place is because they occasionally do mention the differences in how POCs’ victimhood is analyzed in medi... more

United States16 days ago - I gave it a second chance!
I listened in the past but I had to stop due to the self aggrandizement of the podcast hosts. After the dismissal of the guilty verdict, I tried it one more time. I hoped that experience and perhaps a little self-evaluation might have improved the show. No chance! David’s ridiculous recitations have actually gotten worse!They would be laughable if not so irritating. I couldn’t finish! I guess I will have to tune into one of the many other shows as the trial
progresses because I just can’t liste... more
Apple Podcasts2DixieDoodle!United States17 days ago - Excellent podcast! No more “humor” please.
Longtime listener. The creators do exceptional research and reporting. Their mission to expose corruption and courage in the face of hate, threats and attacks is admirable. Please, please, PLEASE consider and listen to the feedback about David’s distracting and insufferable impressions and the clumsy attempts at comedy in the scripts. Your amazing work speaks for itself. The “humor” serves as an unnecessary distraction for loyal listeners and fuel for the haters. I’m begging y’all… Please make t... more
