The Assassination
Excellent and absolutely top level journalism
Excellent
Fantastic Owen Bennett-Jones, simply excellent journalism podcast!!! Thank you
Riveting and groundbreaking
One of the best podcasts to date. Owen Bennett Jones does a fantastic job of bringing to light an important and rather overlooked story by weaving together a complex web of details and insights from family members, friends, colleagues and officials. Through his access and thorough reporting, aspects about Pakistan’s turbulent history are revealed that most newscasts gloss over, and they also underscore the tragic loss of life, skill, depth and capacity that Bhutto’s murder robbed Pakistan of and also the world. Well done. This podcast should be listened to by everyone.
