John Nuttall and Amanda Korody are scraping by on welfare and methadone in a basement suite with John’s grandma, when they find themselves embroiled in a terrorist plot. A mysterious figure named Abe comes into their lives and introduces the couple to a shadowy world of global extremism. With Abe as their mentor and benefactor, John and Amanda hatch a plan to bomb a national holiday celebration using homemade pressure cooker devices. They have no idea that federal police are tracking their every move. Through nearly a hundred hours of surveillance footage and wiretaps, Pressure Cooker puts you in the middle of a sprawling anti-terror operation at the height of the War on Terror — one the courts will eventually call a “travesty of justice."

5 stars for the production of the podcast. 0 stars for these two wannabe jihadists who belong in prison for the rest of their pathetic lives.
Nope

I didn’t like how the host wanted audience to empathize with 2 drug addicts that were racist and clearly wanted to commit a terrorist crime. Good for the police for arresting them but this host was a no for me and John and his wife absolutely disgusting. How can you empathize/sympathize with two people who made multiple comments about killing people and wanting to commit terrorist acts against innocent people. Whether they teetered on whether they should do it or not John was absolutely clear since the 1st episode what he wanted to do.
Mmmm wow

Very well put together podcast. Balanced. John/Omar is still a scary dude. I’m with the guy who said at the end he (John) was okay with blowing people up. It was entrapment. The police were so far over the line that they should be punished. It is the story of WRONG on so many levels. Binged the whole thing.
Great podcast!

Enjoyed this story very much. Lots of research and informative. The host is a great storyteller and keeps you engaged. Only small point I would knock off is when the producer comes on, she sounds so scripted and unnatural. Her information is good but presented awkwardly; however her parts are very small. Would recommend this, I binged it!
