Spellbinding piece of journalism
I listened a while after it was first released, and I must say, it’s not an easy listen, but I have never recommended a podcast more highly. Most commendable are Rukmini Callimachi’s ability to dig deeply and use all of her considerable NYT resources to paint a very poignant, shocking and horrible story. She and her team have the compassion, sensitivity and the expertise that allowed them to gain the trust of those she’s interviewing. Thus she’s given her subjects a sense of humanity, which allows us to begin to comprehend of impact of ISIS, both those who were recruited and those who were victims. Listen in order and listen until the end. I believe the last episode is the most stunning. This reporter and her associates risked their lives to bring this story to us.
