  • The Empty Grave

    Sad to lose outstanding journalism from fantastic journalists. RIP. The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop was, without question, my most treasured podcast of any genre. An extraordinary journey reflecting incredible effort, investigative integrity, forethought, exploration of complex historical context, follow through, and follow up with a hint of personalization that brought the story to life in truly remarkable fashion. Many thanks to Martine Powers, I am forever grateful for the gem you created.
