Customer Reviews
A gripping listen
Really interesting!
Illuminating
Excellent journalism, well edited and interesting content.
Really really informative and enthralling
I discovered this podcast whilst looking for something to keep me informed AND entertained whilst out on a 8-mile walk one morning.
As the title suggests, I went down the rabbit hole and binged the entire series over the course of a 24-hour period.
Kudos to the NYT reporting team AND to the guests and witnesses, with many of the latter being the subjects of the core topic - we are what we consume ( in the context of streaming media ).
Thanks for an essential and important listen.
