Customer Reviews
Excellent!
There are so many interesting topics discussed in podcasts but it is always difficult for me to find one that manages to navigate the storytelling so well. Not overly dramatic, well paced, lots of interviews with relevant people - everything is done well and I subscribed just to hear more of this podcast and other BBC shows.
Very Repetitive
Every episode repeats the same thing about the concept of coincidences and racial injustices it gets beat like a dead horse. Story is good though. Could be about a 1/3rd of the length and would be 5/5 stars.
Uuugh
99% of podcast is about the journalist and his father. 1% focused on the story. Thiis story should have been told in 10 minutes. It’s painful to listen to the journalist find anything and everything to make a his a series. One of the worst podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Pass on it, and you are welcomed
