20min into the first episode, i wasn‘t sure if I am really interested in this story. Now that i‘ve listened until the end if episode 7, I promise you it‘s worth every minute. Great story, brilliant job by the Tortoise team and something that reminds me of appreciating the job these true old school journalists are doing. As soon as i have processed this series I am happy to check out the other Tortoise podcasts.
