I happened across this podcast and have stayed awake for way too long thinking I would only listen to the start of the next episode. Sadly, I have listened to all of them and will have to start talking to my family again. Highly recommend.
5 for Content; 3 for Ads = 4 stars overall.
This is well-told, yes. But, good grief, so many ads in the thing. The ads are poorly placed and disruptive.
I will say it seems to start a bit slow and took me a couple of tries to get into it. But it’s time we’ll-spent.
So well done, so well told, so good!
Brilliant and I hope it sticks around!!!
I think this podcast is excellent overall. It is entertaining and I’ve learned a lot about the history and psychology of hostage negotiations. My one complaint is that the episodes are too short to only come out once a week. When you only listen to 15, 20 minutes per week you can forget about what happened in the previous episode. Other than that it is very good and very well made
