  • Getting worse

    This was a really good series at one time. These last few seasons, however, have been pretty boring. Maybe the are running out of subjects but I couldn’t even make it through one episode in the latest season. It was putting me to sleep.

  • Why localized the commercials?

    Contents aside, it is distracting to be forced to listen to an ad in a different language even I understand it. I mean while you make a podcast of English, then why don’t you keep the whole thing understandable in that language?

  • Should Be Renamed “Slow Burn…of Everything Not Liberal”

    After having watched the last season of “American Crime Story” in which the Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal was covered - which also had a decidedly liberal slant - I was lead here in hopes some classic, independent journalism would lay the story out based on facts, with perhaps a modern hindsight that detailed how disgusting the media, Clinton, his wife and his administration had treated both Lewinsky and even Tripp. more

  • An important, historically rich podcast

    As a 53 year old Gay man who lived in Southern California in the 70s & 80s, I lived through the events outlined in this season’s episodes. Although, I hope, much of my generation is intimately familiar with this era, I doubt many people younger than me have much idea of what we went through then to get to where we are today.

  • Informative and easy listen

    I’ve gone through all 6 seasons and this is such an informative, easy to listen to podcast. You really become immersed in each story and come out educated at the end.
