“I binged this entire podcast in a couple days and I cannot wait for the next season. Every episode is well thought out and fully engaging. I have learned so much about racism and deep betrayals that have been committed and continue to occur daily. I can’t recommend it enough.”

“The content of this show is so well reported and composed, but what I really appreciate is how much thought and care goes into the music of the show. The music credits are as long as the story credits! Keep up the incredible work”

“So, you want to be an “ally”? Start here. Like good story telling, and to feel inspired/moved by it? This is nothing if not that. Want to learn something about how the world really works for “other” people, especially BIPOC? Get on it, because this is the forum! Cannot stress enough the level of...”Read full review »
