Customer Reviews
Miss the Old Hosts
I really loved the show when it was Bart, Christopher, and Summer but unfortunately both the quality of content and production have dropped off significantly since they changed the hosts a while back.
Wonderful show about docs
Can’t say enough about “Fog of Truth.” I learn about great documentaries in every episode. You’ll get addicted if you listen.
