I found the entire podcast brilliant. It is presented with honesty & humanity toward every individual and family affected by the tragedy of death by friendly fire and the abysmal betrayal of trust on the part of the military. more
Comprehensive information about a subject that will expand your knowledge of a little reported region of the world. The format is excellent.
There were many hard, but much appreciated truths in this podcast. The narration communicated the gravity throughout, giving respect to the fallen, the survivors, and the families impacted. The Marines interviewed about that day gave some of the most impactful, insightful, and heart-breaking accounts I’ve ever heard. Tom, Graham and their team have done wonderful work with their research, sound design, and reporting. This is what journalism is truly about. more
Thank you from a Marine for doing the work that the Marine Corps should have done.
Awesome reporting, investigating, but most importantly: the delivery is incredible. Hopeful this crew will keep producing similar deep-track honesty.
