“Perhaps it is Buzzfeed’s style of storytelling but I don’t know why the story is so hyped up and sensationalised. The story is exciting and fascinating by itself. By adding extra drama it simply comes across as over the top and rather than highlighting how important this story is, it instead makes it seem less serious than it is reality.
There seems to be a lot of summarising of points as well. It would be great if more details were divulged rather than repetitive recapping. The audience understands what is happening. It isn’t as complex as it is being made out to be. Money laundering stories are all over Netflix and on other podcasts. Listeners drawn to this podcast are likely to have a basic understanding of these principles and don’t need to be taken by the hand all the way through the story.
Also, the vocal fry of the American accents on this podcast makes it not particularly easy to listen to.
I very much appreciate the research that has gone into this story and the collaborative nature of Buzzfeed’s journalists allowed specialists to get involved and fully utilise the raw data. This in turn allowed Buzzfeed to tell a bigger and more important story. I think that is by far the greatest asset of this story.”

“So the topic is very interesting, but the first episode feels more dedicated to painting a picture of the journalists (Jason and Anthony) as rebels. It’s just tinged with that gross “too cool” vibe that permeates from Vice News. Hopefully the story itself shines in future episodes.”
