Consistently great

One of the few shows i've stuck with since the beginning--the production, storytelling, and research are top notch, and the host is fantastic. Not to be missed.

Best podcast ever!!!!

I love the host, the content, the music, everything about this show. It makes me uncomfortable and makes me think about the world around me in a way I didn’t before listening to this podcast; at least not to the degree I do now. I recommend it to everyone I can. Keep it coming.

Better than all the rest

This is the best podcast out there in Podworld.

Period.
