Customer Reviews
This is how you do a podcast.
Honestly one of the most immersive, intriguing pieces of investigative journalism I’ve come across via podcast. Only half way through and if my jaw continues to hit the floor like this for the remainder of the series, I will need surgery. SO well done - thank you.
Worth every minute of your time
A fascinating look into the outcomes of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, focusing on those affected and let down by the authorities involved in the clean up. A deeply moving human story, expertly researched, written and produced.
Investigative journalism at its finest!
