I’ve loved the quality of Campside’s investigative journalism and storytelling, and Big Sugar takes the cake (no pun intended). I knew nothing about the topic before listening and learned SO much, and am so grateful for it! THANK YOU Campside for these incredibly important stories into the light!!
What a great documentary to inform us of such an important topic many have no clue about yet we all ingest this product daily! Opened my eyes to environmental
injustice as well as many other injustices going on all the way up to the president. Thank you for your time and research on this topic!
Absolutely amazing work. Is there a way we can continue to help Jasmine?
I really don’t get this podcast. I’m only on episode 2, but I cannot listen anymore to a rich woman who is complaining about the distance she has to drive to check-in and so forth. I mean, sure, it is unfair, but come on? I don’t know where this podcast is going and I most def does not care.
I enjoyed it all! The narrator was great the music was wonderful and the storyline was addicting. Great job!:)
