“I’m not sure why a few people gave this a poor review because as someone that frequently listens to documentary style podcasts, this one was excellent. The pacing was great, the content was great and occasionally heart-wrenching, and the editing was also very good. I definitely recommend to...”Read full review »

“Tries to be a comprehensive accounting of the surfside disaster, but poorly edited, repetitive and long winded. Fast forwarded through 40-50% of the content. Would only recommend if you have a lot of free time you want to kill.”

I am the President of our Condo HOA and although Florida State Statute laws are changing to mandatory funding of building reserves this tragedy puts into perspective on what not to do as an HOA Association.

“There was some solid reporting but I felt like this was focused on how well the Herald reported as it was on the tragedy. I found the investigated reporting to be lacking and they seems to sensationalize the tragedy.”

“Great show until it fully embraces NIMBYism without a second guess. While that may be the politically popular position, one expects more nuance from the Miami Herald.”

“Today the State Legislature passed legislation on future required condo inspection.
What comes to me:
Why does the State allow buildings, especially tall condos, to be built on the waterfront? Sand is not a solid foundation. They were looking for revenue, not to care for the residents.
