  • Podcast doesn’t do enough digging

    I discover this podcast through a different podcast I listen to. After listening to the first few episodes it left me wondering why the host wasn’t digging deeper on these important issues. Informative but It just scratches the surface of these issues. I guess i was looking for something a bit more hard hitting.

  • Great reporting and stories

    This is a wonderful podcast about the endangered species act in the US. It’s by default very myopic to America, but whoa the variety of stories told about species and peoples involved with species saving is incredible. I’m sad if this becomes a time capsule due to the current administration. But can’t wait for season 2 telling the interweaving stories of threatened/endangered animals of US and hopefully the world.

  • Primary sources, oral history

    This is a stunning collection of primary source interviews. It could be one of the standout oral history project examples of its generation.
