  • Great Stories

    I’ve always been a fan of the counter culture and a lot of the things that have come from it. This podcast really dives deep into the history and what was really going on behind the scenes. Looking forward to listening to the other podcast by rainbow.

  • A great trifecta

    Among my favorite podcasts are Rainbow's American Prankster, Psychedelic Women and Disorganized Crime. How wonderful that Taffy opens up so much in the latter two series. Thanks, Rainbow!

  • Not good

    This is terrible. To boot, the host’s voice grates like a fork scraping on a chalkboard.

  • Mom Who?

    I’m loving the show but disappointed all of the descriptions so far don’t mention RV’s mom’s name. She’s just referred to as mom, which is weird because it seems the intent is to show how she’s so much more than that. Feels like a miss in a show designed to honor her and her legacy.

    Really enjoying learning about the female legacy tho!
