“I tried listening to this great story. Unfortunately the teller was more interested in inserting herself into it. It truly made it impossible to listen to, and that saddens me because I really wanted to hear it.”

“So thankful to be informed. Had the host not went above and beyond to not unnatural in communicating… it would be easier to listen to. It’s critical to not sound artificial. It’s a nonfiction podcast. Otherwise so thankful to be informed.”

“Great work showcasing the contribution of Chicanos in law enforcement. Chicanos contribution to varies professions and industries almost always get no recognition partly because Chicanos don’t look for others to give them attaboy.”

“Content is good. Interesting story. The host is a bit intrusive. The best podcasts have the host and the interviewees meld mesh well together. Not in this cast. The host appears to be performing which was distracting.”

“The story of the Chicano Squad is movie-worthy. The obstacles they faced to solve cases -community distrust, lack of resources, and poor treatment from their white colleagues and superiors - were insane. What the Squad accomplished in terms of case clearance rates and restoring community trust is...”Read full review »

“One of the best podcast I’ve listened to in a long time. A 40 year journey of Houston’s first all-Latino homicide squad. The highs and lows of a group of officers trying to do it right for the community, the department and each other. #latino #houston #voxmedia”

“Great storytelling. Lots of great interviews.
And, unlike a lot of podcasts that only claim they tell “the story you’ve never heard,” this one really delivered on that promise.
They put a lot of work into this project, and it shows. It was great.”
