“I have major issues with podcasts, like this one, that fawn over mediocre white criminals who exploited a system that criminalized and brutalized People of Color, without bothering to explore that relationship. Kough isn’t special. How many people suffered down the food chain as a result of his actions? What makes him interesting? He had was exploitative and had a personality? Awesome! He’s interesting because he was willing to accept art potentially stolen from a Cuban museum? Great. The lens of this podcast is all wrong. I’m only two episodes in, but no tough questions have been asked or explored as of yet. Before they say, wait we’ll get to that, realize that if you have to tell a saccharine story about a mediocre white criminal for several episodes before you tackle the harder issues, that means you either don’t trust your audience or you don’t trust your own story telling. Podcasts like this have the potential to be actually important, but fail to place the character into the salient context of the systems they exploited. Good story, good production, terrible journalism.”
