“Being an Atlanta native, I thoroughly enjoyed this perspective and it’s cool that he’s not from Atlanta so he could learn from a pure slate. Yes, corny, but I absolutely LOVED listening. I’m sad it’s only 1 season. 😱💔”

“Listened for a Morehouse college project, enjoyed the corny aspect makes me laugh especially with the author embracing the fact that he is a black yankee from Michigan and him aiming to truly understand and get to know the culture he wasn’t able to be exposed to. Touched on many enjoyable topics...”Read full review »

“I really wish someone like his cousin was the Podcaster. I expected, wanted and was looking forward to a raw ATL or Georgia accent. The podcaster sounds hella corny and when he’s “attempting to be hip” it’s like, please stop! 😒”

“I really appreciate the way this podcast set up the story of the “event” by showing the historical issues that came to play huge parts in the way the city responded to Freaknik.
I especially appreciated how many views and angles were shown and allowed the listener to make up those own mind. I...”Read full review »

“This podcast starts out talking about freaknik and it’s history. By episode 2 It goes into the history of Atlanta and then back to the music of Atlanta and then into HBCU’s....I’m confused. Please pick a topic and stick to it. I understand the history of Atlanta plays a part in the making or...”Read full review »

“I can honestly say that I don’t know what I was expecting to hear when I saw this podcast. Maybe some Freaknik stories. I can say thank you though. Thank you for taking us on a history lesson of not just Freaknik, but of the city of Atlanta and it’s relationship w Freaknik. I throughly enjoyed...”Read full review »

“Enjoyed it a ton! I always listened to it on my way to the barbershop. Dunno why....just felt like the appropriate black hang out setting to listen to some black entertainment history on the way to. I enjoyed the fact that this went deeper than Freaknik and connected the story of Atlanta into it....”Read full review »

“I’m all about long form podcast that center black folks. Great topic and interviews. a couple things I think were missing: a deeper race and class analysis. The episode 5 dived deep into the business class and the conclusion was basically “well ultimately racism” but if black wealthy folks are...”Read full review »

“I always wanted to know the details of freaknik as I was too young to even know what was going on lol. Crazy thing is he speaks on topics such as the murders of children that happens to be the topic of season 2 of Netflix Mindhunters which made me appreciate this podcast even more.”

“Great content! Loved how they talked about Freaknix but also touched on the racism and history of Atlanta. They did a great job on utilizing actual people who were there back in the early to mid 90’s. 👍🏾👍🏾”

“I haven’t heard anyone use the term “Afro-American” since childhood, so that was interesting. Ultimately, great topic, wrong host/team perhaps. Host doesn’t feel connected to the topic. Maybe someone from Atlanta or that has attended freaknik or an HBCU would have been better for the story. Good...”Read full review »

“Goes deeper than a typical music documentary. This is not some facile E: True Hollywood Story” done Freaknik-style. There’s real substance here. Tons of interviewees help you understand all aspects of the famous Atlanta festival, from how locals reacted to it, to its cultural significance for...”Read full review »

“It started out great, but you lost me at episode 6 when you created a whole narrative to justify exploitation of women. Wow, how does that power and control Chris talks about work for women in the #metoo and Jeffrey Epstein world we are living in? Yeah, all these women and probably some girls too...”Read full review »

“This podcast is fantastic. Down to earth and talks about the origin story behind Freaknik. Being a white girl from a suburb north of Atlanta (by way of New Jersey), in a high school group of both black and white kids in the 90s, I remember wanting to go to Freaknik so badly. Hearing the...”Read full review »

“I think the intention was there but it was poor execution. The narrating left much to be desired. I thought listening to it would give me more information about freaknic but majority of it is about the history of Atlanta. I hoped for more. It’s not concise or thorough.”
