Customer Reviews
The important investigative reporting we need
Ripple fills us in on the details of the BP Oil Spill and the consequences that have not been widely reported. This true story is disturbingly similar to other chemical company cases like the radium girls, that one would think couldn’t possibly happen in the 21st century. Thank you for sharing this important story.
Tremendous
A wonderfully thoughtful, well-researched show that’s as gripping as it is depressing. A must-listen for anyone interested in investigative reporting
Amazing investigative podcast!
This is one of my favorite podcasts, I’m a sucker for anything investigative. While the subject material is very different, it has a similar vibe to Your Own Backyard. If you liked YOB, you’ll probably like this. I hope there’s a second season!
