  • Season 2: Deep South

    I’m sure it is hard for some white people (even more southern whites) to listen to this season without feeling attacked, but good job with this one. Facts are facts…thank you for not sugarcoating or skipping over the obvious Southern foundational building blocks. The stories were new, lesser known and displays the depravity woven into that culture over centuries. Not just “bad apples “ …… its innate.

  • Irritating Cadence

    Extremely irritating cadence which I can only assume is purposeful as surely nobody can be that irritating accidentally.

    Incompetently researched and very clear tone deaf, self unaware confirmation bias throughout many episodes so in depth it’s bordering on satire.

    If you’re interested in accurate history narrated by someone not completely ignorant look elsewhere.
