Smiling Faces
Clarence Thomas went to Yale Law School because he thought it was a good fit for his left-wing politics. But when he arrived, it seemed like all the white liberals thought he was only there because he was Black. The sting Thomas felt fueled a lifelong resentment of affirmative action. It also drew him to a group of conservatives who helped sharpen his political beliefs.

I’m Their Guy
When Clarence Thomas got nominated to the Supreme Court, his behavior during the 1980s would get put under a microscope. To understand who Thomas was then and who he is today, you need to hear how he treated the women he worked with. You also need to hear from the woman who knew him best during those critical years: his ex-girlfriend Lillian McEwen.

Kundenrezensionen
Great reporting, confusing feed
Season 3: Great podcast about the story of Rappers Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., „Biggy“ Smalls. Great research, storytelling, host and voice, intelligent and insightful cultural and social analysis. I loved listen to this podcast and find it expectional. All Podcast should hold themselves to this high standard of journalism and professional production.
The feed of Slow Burn is very confusing. I wish all different seasons would also be released individually. As of now there are over eight seasons and stand-alone episodes (that sometimes appear mid-season on a completely different topic) on wildly different topics all in the same stream. The cover doesn‘t make any sense if you want to listen to a specific season or episode. Also it is very hard to find a specific season or episode (for instance the one about Tupac and Biggie). If someone searches for a good podcast about Tupac and Biggie they probably are not gonna find it. It also makes the ratings confusing because listeners review and rate a whole podcast but listened to very different seasons. Please clean up the feed to showcase your amazing podcasts on the level they deserve 🙏🏻.
Very much worth my time - and yours!
This podcast stands out by looking at events that the avid newspaper reader knows of, but does not know of enough. Many things are clearer (and more complex) in retrospect. Very insightful and balanced: great food for thought.
Best podcast I know (and I know a lot)
This is my favorite podcast of all. I wish u would cover every topic there is like this. I hope u’ll make one about the Russia-Investigation as well.
