I have to point out that, while reading one- and two-star ratings, a pattern emerged.

United Statesa month ago - Jason Flom: Justice warrior!
Listening from Australia. Found this podcast in 2026 from a recommendation from Bob Ruff (Truth and Justice) What an eye opener and a disturbing deep dive into the American justice system which is so obviously flawed. Thank goodness there are people like Jason and the Innocence Project to come to the rescue. The cases are fascinating and often tear-inducing, sending the listener on quite the rollercoaster ride. Brilliant podcast!

Australia4 months ago - Speechless!!!
I did not expect to like this podcast, because I just do not deal with injustice very well. The thought of having to listen to these innocent people go through DECADES OF HELL ON EARTH just made me so angry. Even though they are exonerated in the end, I didn’t think I could handle it. Let me tell you, I WAS WRONG! As angry as I get for these wrongfully accused, convicted, imprisoned (usually) men…I REJOICE in the tables turning and JUSTICE, TRUE JUSTICE FINALLY BEING SERVED!!! Listening to episo... more
