“I have listened x 2. And each time I hear something different. By the end I had more questions and wanted to listen again. The story is exquisite. Thank you.”

“This was really a great podcast series. It was so good that my only criticism of it is that it wasn’t long enough! Should’ve been at least a 20 part series. Really well done storytelling mixed with radio broadcasts and voices from the past. It was put together in such a way where it really felt...”Read full review »

“This podcast informed my head and cracked open my heart. “Holy Week” is podcast journalism at its finest. I commend it to everyone who cares about America, and still yearns to help our nation realize Lincoln’s sacred prophesy at Gettysburg, a “new birth of freedom.””

“Well done and very moving. I was only a kid when Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated but this brought back suppressed memories. I often wonder what could have been. Thank you for this enlightening podcast.”

“This recounted the story of the difficult period in American history before and after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther in 1968 captures the emotion and attitudes of central black leaders and local individuals of the Black non violent movement, the growing division between key Black leaders...”Read full review »

“How do you remain calm as you narrate this story? You must be made of steel. The truth of inequality requires a calm voice, sterling research and a podcast because we live in a time of revolution not unlike the Sixties, which were pivotal for me. History will be distorted and teachers now walk a...”Read full review »

“I really am enjoying this series. I lived far from these events and was a too young to know and understand what was going on in 1968. Hearing from people who were participants in or witnesses to the events surrounding and following the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination greatly enhances...”Read full review »

“This pod is so important… I believe this information is largely unknown by the majority of the Caucasian people in this country. It isn’t taught in schools. It is such an important recounting of the historic period after MLK’s assassination and the black activism/rioting afterwards.”

“The rich storytelling from those who met with King right before he was assassinated, whose lives were ripped apart by systemic racism, and children (yes children!) reminds us that King might have been wrong on one front—the moral arc of the universe bending toward justice. Great journalism on...”Read full review »

“It’s the way he tells the story. The way he makes you forget you’re listening to history, which was supposed to be dry, boring, even. But not here. Van has a way of narrating the story that forces you to listen, to hear more, to learn more, and to feel the emotions of the people in the story....”Read full review »

“58 years ago after MLK was assassinated many cities erupted in anger and frustration. This pod gives an intimate first person account to that experience. Well worth a listen.”

“Phenomenal. Informative. Evocative. The narration, the first person accounts, the music, the use of audio footage from the past. The way it’s all woven together. Every aspect of this is wonderfully done. This is one of the best podcasts, let alone historical podcasts, I have ever heard.”

“I loved the Floodline series a few years ago, and this one is another excellent podcast. It’s remarkable for the interviews with first hand witnesses to those momentous events (and especially given the time is running out for these conversations). Well edited as well, with good sound alongside...”Read full review »
