Customer Reviews
what a weird cool show
i think some of these reviewers aren’t getting it. i think it’s great.
Yes, yes, yeah
I just wish there were more of these episodes. So many fascinating perspectives from some of the most important days in our history.
Moving and poignant
Love this podcast! Very moving and emotional accounts of events that occurred the same time as notable tragedies we are all aware of. We ask “where were you when _______ happened?” This goes beyond that and tells a whole story. The music and integration of news clips are well done. I would download the music itself if I could. I really hope for a season 2! Highly recommend
