Blindspot Season 1

Just finished Season 1 about 9/11. Excellent podcast. Wish they had spoken about John O’Neil but other than that thought it was very well told

Betsy from Montreal ,

Tulsa Burning is a must listen

Well told story and painful but urgent to listen to. Amazing to me that I grew up knowing nothing about the real history of America. Time to make up for it.
