“What if there’d never been an HIV epidemic?” Wow. As someone who has a decent understanding of the history of HIV/AIDS this podcast was refreshing. Amplifying the voices of women and QTPOC folx, this podcast provides a critical counter narrative. Exceptionally well done.

Such an amazing podcast. Thank you for Sharing and educating so many of us.

Very impactful series would love to see you explore other blind spots. I realized listening to the series that I have wounds that have not healed living and caring for pts who had no one else to do so. This could have been easily in Miami where the same set of circumstances occurred in...Read full review »

Just finished Season 1 about 9/11. Excellent podcast. Wish they had spoken about John O’Neil but other than that thought it was very well told

We need more blindspot episodes about other historical events.

I truly enjoyed this podcast! It’s very informative and eye opening!
Shar205 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/22
I enjoyed most of this show, but by the time I got through half of Episode 5 “The Body” it has gotten less about reporting and became more about pseudoscience. It had been growing increasingly more wonky but it got to the point where I just turned it off. I would have liked to continue learning...Read full review »

Pretty good podcast.
MilitoMama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/21
I’ll admit I’m not the target audience for season 2. I’m interested in the history, not the psychological impact it’s had on a race. The host lacks the voice for a podcast. And episode 5 had a lot less to do with the Tulsa massacre than with the condition of African Americans in general. Again,...Read full review »

History is human. It is a compilation of stories and experiences from the people that endured, exploited, survived, and flourished through it. I learned a ton while being entertained… though that might not be the correct word, as I was disgusted at points, angry, ashamed, but also inspired and…...Read full review »

This beautifully produced documentary podcast tells the story of racial injustice and violence during the early 20th century, of which the Tulsa Massacre was just one of many punctuation marks. Not having pictures to watch on a screen does not detract from the storytelling. In describing the...Read full review »

I had great hopes for this series of podcasts after how well done the 9/11 episodes were put together. Alas, not to be. I really wanted to learn more about the Black Wall Street tragedy, but the folks involved in this show are too caught up condemning whitey. They fail to reach the audience they...Read full review »

Wow!!! I learned so much that I didn’t know. I stumbled upon this podcast while listening to NPR and the 20 anniversary programming. Jim O’Grady is a masterful storyteller. As a self identified nerd it was great to fall down this rabbit hole. Thank you.
blsimm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/21
I actually stumbled onto this podcast (at least season 1) because the pilot episode was played as a “guest” episode on another podcast I already listen to. And I’m glad I did because holy cow, this was engaging! The music, the narration, the twists & turns… how each episode kinda builds on...Read full review »

Well produced and presented. Fascinating details and insights.
Musicinsilence via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/21
Hopefully well researched and well presented.Beyond that it’s like listening to an on-the-edge-of-your-seat true accountAre some of the most important -and often shameful events -in our history.
elajojo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/21
I loved both series of Blindspot. They are heart wrenching to realize these events are factual events in our society. Both Jim and KalaLea did a great job narrating. I would definitely listen to more.

I did find the historical work of this podcast fascinating and well done. But I found the remedies were off the mark and not
Diremax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/21
Tulsa Burning is a hard listen, but it is softened by the hosts gentle and melodic demeanor. I love that the show goes all the way back to the beginning of the beginning and lays the ground work for what happened, why, and how the Tulsa Massacre still reverberates in our culture today. The host...Read full review »

For all that say why haven’t we learned this from school? You obviously know nothing about American history, only want to learn about black history. Brush up on your Nat Turner facts.
vesprally via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/21
I blew through this in just a few days because this story is so compelling. I thought I knew a lot about the Tulsa Massacre, but somehow learned more. As a mental health counselor, I believe the part on generational and cultural trauma should be essential listening for anyone in my field.

This isn’t really about the content but the execution of this podcast: outstanding.
Yelly Old Lady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/21
Great job everyone involved.
hanxthre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/21
Well done and informative. KalaLea, thanks for taking this on. I knew nothing about this horror or the others that are mentioned in the series. Just listened to episode 5 and purchased Resmaa Menakem’s latest book.
saranac lenny via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/21
Incredibly insightful. Our education system is terrifying and I am saying this while also being a teacher myself.
Virginia Meade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/21
Please help me understand! How are we supposed to understand what you all want from the sympathetic and empathetic white person? I feel like no matter what I try it is wrong! I thought I was empathetic, but I was wrong! I want us to heal together! I guess our “white privilege is real! I live in...Read full review »

I grew up being told “know your history or you’re doomed to repeat it”. We should all know the full scope of the history we share. I love this podcast, and I appreciate all you are doing and dealing with to put it together. Thank you, sending love and positivity your way.
Jamie_Lynnette via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/21
One of my new favorite podcasts. Great storytelling and very insight views on important issues in America.
FacetiousMonkey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/21
I grew up being educated in the American Public School system and I was never taught about this. I was raised conservative, attended an expensive private Liberal Arts college in Oklahoma and was still never taught about this. It was never mentioned, not even once. I think that’s abhorrent and...Read full review »

HMSaud007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/21
Like many white Americans, I had never heard of the Tulsa massacre. This podcast is really well done and absolutely recommended.
laurenribbons via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/21
I was very excited to see that it was a collaboration between the History Channel and WNYC, and it did not disappoint. For the people complaining, either they didn’t listen to the podcast or it struck a nerve.
Arodtay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/21
To all of you leaving negative reviews of this podcast, check yourself. Really you think this is increasing racist theories? This is truth this is what you want to deny. So maybe you, those of you who are giving negative reviews should learn a little bit about the true history of this country.
Abby813 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/21
The people leaving negative reviews about this podcast are those who won’t ever actually take the time to listen and those who need to listen the most. As someone who considers myself obsessed with history, in just two episodes I’ve learned more about the Native and Black history of the...Read full review »

Your purpose is powerful/necessary and imperative. Thank you for creating a space for grieving, learning, and a place where white people need to learn-know-and must do better.
MeRgEmotherof2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/21
A really great podcast on the horrible events in Tulsa. Riviting and insightful
LilyKeener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/21
Well told story and painful but urgent to listen to. Amazing to me that I grew up knowing nothing about the real history of America. Time to make up for it.
Betsy from Montreal via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/03/21
Your description that it was a white supremacist mob diminishes the truth that it was average angry white Americans that destroyed Tulsa. That type of rhetoric is why we have uneducated people saying, “Heritage, not hate.” I’ll quote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "First, I must confess that...Read full review »
Don LQ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/21

I’ve only learned about Greenwood and the massacre in the last few years, and have been hungering to understand it better. This series is helping me to understand it better, AND to understand why most of us didn’t know about this before. I’m so grateful that they made this.
Phila-Dan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/21
This is necessary listening. Thank you for asking questions and revealing the past. It is painful to hear. Tragic to take in but necessary to understand if we are to build a healthy future together.
