Subject Matter Expert
It’s refreshing to listen to an investigative podcast hosted by a person that has clearly done the work required to become a subject matter expert. DeRose is able to draw you in immediately, just as he does in his books. His voice is calming, but does not have the sedating effect that many other hosts have. #DeRoseForPresident
Is it just me, or was this podcast never finished?
It would be 5/5 if we were given the final episode to wrap everything up - unless I missed it somehow??
Very intriguing
I’d heard several of these stories before but didn’t realize just how big of a deal it was back then. This was my grand father. I have his Purple Heart. The newspaper stories are fascinating.
