Klantrecensies
Best podcast ever
Listen to this podcast, it’s really fascinating and you’ll be educated about the US
Interesting and fascinating
Fascinating podcast. This is the first podcast I ever heard. Very interesting to hear about the justice system compared to ours in the Netherlands. Also, love Sarah’s voice. She sounds so calming.
Food-for-thought
Absolutely fantastic podcast. Often I have to remind myself this is not about Bulgaria, Mexico or Russia, where I paid police officers cash money to get out of a speeding ticket. This is about the justice system in the United States of America. A highly developed country. I’m not American, but I love the American compassion for other nations, for people in need and how they support their local communities. It baffles me therefore how Americans can not come together and repair this broken, ancient justice system. I hope they find guidance and wisdom from this podcast.
