Customer Reviews
Captivating
Wonderful in depth reporting. Thank you.
Absolutely phenomenal podcast
This reporting and storytelling was an honor to listen to. Incredibly engaging and informative. The story is maddening for so many reasons, but the reporters, experts, and people who experienced the spill went above and beyond to explore and share it.
Informative and provides the other side
The BP oil spill became quickly an out of sight out of mind thing for a lot of people but it is still real for a lot of people. This podcast is wonderful to provide the first hand experience of those affected by the oil spill. It’s the behind the scenes that wasn’t/isn’t shared. It is engaging and so well put together.
