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
