Outstanding history of the actual event with lots of leftist talking points and one sided statistics sprinkled in along the way. The host is a really good story teller, but let’s her biases show through a little throughout and then a lot in the last 3 episodes. Question… who kill more cops in...Read full review »

Started very well (first 6 episodes) before becoming a soapbox for injecting personal ideology about guns and policing. Disappointing that journalists nowadays can’t just allow people to share their experiences and let the audience draw their own conclusions on a topic or subject matter.

Thanks for trilling your R’s.

Started off strong, suddenly it turns into an anti gun measure for police forces. Of course none of the anti gunners served a second on any force or have ever been shot at. Do not listen to this trash.
Engman19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
I agree that the storytelling was phenomenal. I was so intrigued and involved. Suddenly, the political twist had me questioning how well you did your homework for this podcast. I do recall, George saying, watch the editing to his daughter. It’s so hard to take someone serious when like Ronald...Read full review »

The show was decent until you decided to insert YOUR opinion on fake climate change into the narrative. I listened to 5 minutes and couldn’t take it anymore. Climate Change is a hoax

The storytelling of the Norco bank robbery was well done and I thoroughly enjoyed it, however, the show took quite a political anti-policing twist that was very disappointing. You can’t set forth these types of statements until you have actually risked your own life in the line of duty.

I really loved the first half. The host really did a great job on the storytelling aspect. I hung on knowing the story would wrap politically. I’m middle of the road and wanted to hear her POV. But I think where she failed me as a listener was the immediate divisiveness in episode 6. Not all...Read full review »

Interesting story at first. But then goes off the rails when the journalist doesn’t understand why a cop would want to kill a bank robber that ithas been shooting at him for the past 40 minutes and killed a fellow officer. Then later episodes starts hard-core leftist talking points about how many...Read full review »

These guys just act so stupid it’s embarrassing to call this a Christian show. If they would just discuss their content it would be 5 stars.
Dallas4266 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/22
After that it’s no more history, just a liberal’s opinion of how police are bad, bad, BAD! And how criminals have a justification for what they do. But also….the police better show up when they call!! Or else they’re racist.
Dscmorena via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/22
Very good story and podcast. I didn’t know about this story until I listened to the podcast. Presented very well
Podcast Pimp via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/30/22
There it is. Police over funded. Structural racism. White males.
Wodone via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/22
Ya I agree, it was really good until episode 5. Then I turned it off. The woman saying it’s not the cops roll to end a life after they have killed people. Hard left took over and completely ruined this. Too bad.
Ruwidys7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/21
The first 5-7 episodes are good and interesting, especially if you grew up in that area, like I did. But in episode 6 you start to hear the hard left take over. Sympathizing with the criminals. So frustrating.
silver fox 72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/21
I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and this one started out pretty good. At around the 6 episode it became clear to me that a lot of shows personal opinions started to become apparent. Quite frankly by the leftist own standards the show has racist elements when it starts to talk about...Read full review »

This series was AWESOME! And I’m finally commenting(sorry, I’m workin on that), because of… THE NEW EPISODE! One of my favorite series ever! My dad was a cop in Torrance From the early 70’s til the 90s, and I’m a progressive anti gun liberal. So I love the great story, and all it says about...Read full review »

Tell the story. There should be an asterisk next to this title.. *fascinating story ruined by political agenda.
johnnyswmi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/21
Don’t know why we can’t just present the facts of the story
EmmFitz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/21
What started off so promising as a wildly fascinating true crime story devolves into a hard left political opinion piece. White man bad. Police bad. Guns bad. I would love for somebody more politically neutral to tell the story, by the end of the podcast, the story of a robbery gone bad in 1980...Read full review »
Soliddrummer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/21
It is only at this absurd moment in history when a story about Norco 80 could spend any time at all on racial injustice. This is a story about bank robbing murderers, dumb ones. The police were unprepared, that’s it. Despite the production values being very high, I found this cringey stretch into...Read full review »
Joeshmowjoe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/21
Listen to the first 7 episodes. The narrative stays mostly to the facts of the case. This podcast takes a hard left turn and became extremely politically polarized in episode 8. Also, there were quite a few factual inaccuracies, especially when if comes to basic firearm knowledge.
criminalpodduder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/21
I throughly enjoyed this podcast. The story of the 1980 Norco bank robbery and it’s ripple effect through history are both interesting and relevant to America life today.
bigsquirrel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/21
Could have been a really good podcast but the agenda of the host is disturbing.
Gary Jaurique via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/21
Host seems to favor the criminals.
fuzznut1919 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
They had a hidden agenda that doesn’t come out until after the story is told. It would have been better if they noted that their version of this story is political. I listened to the podcast wanting to hear about this insane bank robbery, and get away in a sense from current news trends.
marma80@ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
Just another podcast where a pompous millennial takes a horrific event to push her own ideas where the white guy beats up on the Mexicans and Blacks.
6)$78..4:2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/21
Great podcast and interviews until the journalist took a dive into a limited politically trendy view that was not fact based. Journalism should not be biased. It should present both sides and allow the reader/listener an opportunity to come to their own conclusion. Here she did not allow that ......Read full review »

I have a listen to dozens of shows on this topic and this is the first one that has been able to gather so many actual recordings from the events themselves. I had never heard 90% of the recording, and I thought that really added impact and credibility to the overall story. Frankly, it also made...Read full review »

Worth your time for the interesting story, but you only need to go through episode 7... I dumped out at E8 when it was noted the only robbers killed were brown?!!! Yes, they went there 🙄 Credit where it’s due though... up to E8 is pretty good
luvvagoodstory via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
I’m surprised by the bias in this entire podcast. I wish I could live in the world of the narrator who lives in a world of unicorns. Uses this as a fulcrum. I guess she wants police disarmed and to use stuffed animals against heavily armed criminals
Giggity4443468085423 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/21
There is simply no reason for the narrator to bring race into this story. “She felt sad” that the police officer wanted to kill the individuals who were trying to kill him. What kind of crazy cockamamie stuff is that? You don’t get to give people a hug when they’re trying to shoot you and you...Read full review »

The political bias on this podcast is absurd. Just law out the facts and let you listeners think and decide.
FalcaoPodecast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/21
First few episodes are good but as the story goes on, the creators’ hidden agenda is revealed. At this point the podcast shifts from a news story to an opinion piece. Opinions are then presented as facts to back up a clearly biased narrative. Odd commercials appear intermittently in the...Read full review »
Great,butnotenough via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/21
Excellent podcast but the part where the podcast host tries to guilt the officer for defending himself is so cringe
Joe Podcast via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/14/21
It was really good while this story stayed on the facts. Goes political in chapter 8 and while we have a few things to work on. I don’t agree with this view of America at all
I love America 2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/21
Was interesting in the beginning but became very political towards the end so I’m not finishing it I’d I wanted to hear politics I’d listen to the news
history listenir 06 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/21
It was interesting, but the “fact checker” missed a lot of details. It does seem to have a significant amount of political bias.
ocr_teach via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/21
The first few episodes are great, well done! Then you kinda went off the rails. But I understand, you don’t have the life experience that these policemen had. Nobody shoots at you because of this podcast, your job carries no real or actual danger, other than a bunch of 1 and 2 star ratings. You...Read full review »

Norco 80 tells a good story. Compelling, fast-paced, interesting. But listener beware: there is a lot of opinion injected into this and leftist ideology of right and wrong and what could’ve happened, what should’ve happened, what might’ve happened, comparing facts on the ground and in action in...Read full review »

You have no clue.
Thirsty Duck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/21
I grew up in Norco and remember this day very well. My mom worked just down Hamner, and happy she was safe from this incident. I went to High School just a few blocks away. I wish this podcast had focused on the tragedy and not on the political aspects of the event.
Coronanodelmar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/21
The narrator has obvious anti police bias and a fervent desire to make this a racial issue. First, she includes the personal thoughts of a Latino deputy regarding his belief that he was intentionally left alone during the initial gun battle outside the bank. There is absolutely zero evidence this...Read full review »

The information about the incident was very informative, interesting and well put together. The only distraction what how the host kept bending over backwards to pull in a social justice angle.
Mattdewey89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/21
If they would have left their political views out of this podcast I would have given it 5 stars. Episode 10 was just pure political garbage.
jb stewart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/21
Too much opinion presented instead of fact. If you are going to cover a topic and want to do a good job, get a better grasp of the topic.
ammo65_MT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/21
This podcast is so interesting and so well done. Antonia is my new favorite podcast host and I can’t wait to listen to anything else she puts together. Her empathy, directness, and delivery is unmatched. I’ve never left a podcast review but had to after I listened to episode 5 because I’m so...Read full review »

Quite impressive to see someone take a tragic and horrific non-biased event and turn it into a cops-hate-brown people editorial. Shame on you, LAist. I’m self-canceling anything you produce. Gotta love ‘cancel culture,’ eh?

There are bad/evil people everywhere and in any profession. There are racist people everywhere and in every profession. These are the unfortunate facts of life. It’s not fair to demonize an entire group of people because of a few bad seeds, much the same as it not being fair to discriminate...Read full review »
