    Could not understand interviewee. Her enunciation was poor and she spoke too fast. I slowed it to no avail and then gave up.

  • Rating for Huey Newton Episode

    The laziest episode I have heard to date, I wish John hadn’t touched it. I normally enjoy Twisted, and can finally few faults with how John chooses to report on his topics, but this the episode on Huey P. Newton and the Black Panther Party was lazy and, as a result, dangerous, particularly in this climate. Thirty minutes was not enough time to shed light on anything truly substantive when it comes to the Black Panther Party, The People’s Free Food Program, Huey, Bobby, Eldridge, the women of t... more

    So impressive! John’s assessment and breakdown of each case is beyond words. I love the attention to details and how he uses his knowledge base to thoroughly walk through details. This case was full of lies, twists, and individual self interest. Great job Mr. Taylor. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Grammar!

    Drug does not mean dragged.

    “He shook his head yes.”?

    No. He nodded his head, yes.

    We shake our heads, no.

  • Excellent & Insightful!

    Unique insights from a Podcaster with a former career in law enforcement. If you're looking for a podcast hosted by someone who has actual experience & knowledge of the topics discussed, I highly recommend it. I even bought one of his books, as I've grown to appreciate his professional outlook, and it's refreshing to hear a Podcaster who is thoughtful & deliberate in his productions, versus simply regurgitating news articles & offering nothing meaningful.
