Twisted Podcast

So impressive! John’s assessment and breakdown of each case is beyond words. I love the attention to details and how he uses his knowledge base to thoroughly walk through details. This case was full of lies, twists, and individual self interest. Great job Mr. Taylor. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Could not understand interviewee. Her enunciation was poor and she spoke too fast. I slowed it to no avail and then gave up.

The laziest episode I have heard to date, I wish John hadn’t touched it. I normally enjoy Twisted, and can finally few faults with how John chooses to report on his topics, but this the episode on Huey P. Newton and the Black Panther Party was lazy and, as a result, dangerous, particularly in this climate. Thirty minutes was not enough time to shed light on anything truly substantive when it comes to the Black Panther Party, The People’s Free Food Program, Huey, Bobby, Eldridge, the women of the Party, their role, and how toxic masculinity and domestic violence effected the Movement, COINTELPRO, J. Edgar et al. This sort of topical treatment just adds to the damage done by the federal government and American educational system who all but ensured/ensure the erasure of American history that does not fit their agenda. John, I have a request. Do an episode on Fred Hampton— a phenomenal leader, murdered in his bed at 21 (by the FBI) because of his ability to galvanize people to rise up against their oppressor. Keep up the great work.

I enjoy your podcasts, in general; however, your interpretations of the potential subjects of trauma are disturbing. For example, your interpretations of Michael Jackson’s abuse victims lack insight into how trauma victims experience trauma, speak about trauma, and get groomed for trauma. Also, your obviating on abusers and those close to them who may look away and allow for the abuse to continue reveals your ignorance on the subject of trauma / abuse. Most importantly, when trauma survivors speak of their traumatic experiences, they often relive their trauma in that moment. This, their speaking in the present, or switching tenses, May very well be pointing at unresolved traumatic experiences and/or the hesitation they feel in speaking about their unresolved experiences. Your pontificating that their statements reflect (or May reflect) deception are very troubling. Especially as the trauma was experienced by children. I suggest you refrain from analyzing trauma victims - or suspected trauma victims until you study trauma and the traumatic mind. Your suppositions are dangerous: they are twisted!
