“This is an amazing podcast. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it long before now, because I’ve enjoyed Kelly McEvers’ reporting on NPR for so long. I’ve started at the beginning, with S1 E1, and I’m really excited that there are so many seasons I’ll get to enjoy. The research and reporting are...”Read full review »

“A deep dive into not only an all too common tragedy but into the subsequent cover up. This represents the highest tradition of investigative journalism. A sad but necessary job well done.”

“Why does every topic have to be a series. I’m currently listening to The Kill List. The title drew me in but dang I don’t need such a drawn out story. One episode would be enough. This story could be told in a half hour. All that background story is just time filling. I don’t need a book for...”Read full review »

“Lots of contradictions throughout. Kids cannot reasonably consent to this. Especially without pre-intervention psychological evaluation and the support of unbiased medical professionals and parents. Worth listening to just to hear how misguided and ideologically motivated people are on this.”

“I love Embedded. I got drawn in by The Last Cup which was amazing. What a story arc. What a great method of tying two stories together. I have since started at the beginning of Embedded. The episodes make my day. I really enjoy Kelly McEvers. I hope I never run out of episodes.”

“Great season! A sad and brutal reminder though of how the military exists to sustain itself first and protect us 2nd. History will judge us by how well we treat our veterans and those foreign nationals who risk (and give) their lives alongside them. And right now, in my opinion, is a huge...”Read full review »
