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...Read full review »

Honestly one of the most immersive, intriguing pieces of investigative journalism I’ve come across via podcast. Only half way through and if my jaw continues to hit the floor like this for the remainder of the series, I will need surgery. SO well done - thank you.

A wonderfully thoughtful, well-researched show that’s as gripping as it is depressing. A must-listen for anyone interested in investigative reporting

A fascinating look into the outcomes of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, focusing on those affected and let down by the authorities involved in the clean up. A deeply moving human story, expertly researched, written and produced.

This is one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in a long time. The journalism is first class, as is the storytelling. It’s a must listen!

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!

I’m from St Charles Parish and have lived in New Orleans for most of my life and this podcast shined a light on aspects of the spill that were not known to me despite living in the center of it all. Great reporting.

My heart broke when the Deepwater Horizon explosion happened back in 2010, and broke all over again when I started listening to “Ripple”. The entire series was so well researched, and informative; not to mention beautifully written and highly emotional. All of the participants in this podcast...Read full review »

I listen to many podcasts and never review but I just had to for this one - so captivating and well written. Literally the best - a must listen!!!

Just the word “Corexit” makes me shiver in fear. Just the sight of the BP logo makes me cringe in anger. This is the best podcast I ever heard. Excellent journalism.
eaglesodm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/24
you really think the us government would do that? just gloss over the complexity of a catastrophe to preserve economic interests and leave vast swaths of the population to sicken and die? :0c

BP pled guilty to falsifying post bill data.

The story telling is amazing and enthralling. I remember this disaster but I don’t recall many of the details provided. Very well done!

A few days ago I heard this podcast being advertised. Having been steeped in the oil and gas industry in Houston since the early 00’s, companies involved being VERY familiar, I certainly was curious about the topic at hand and how it was going to be handled. Having made the drive along the gulf...Read full review »

US citizens that are the hero’s in story after story always are the ones that pay the ultimate price with their life. When are we going to learn that the govt never has our best interest at heart? Just like the 1st responders of 9/11 so too are the hero’s from the BP spill left behind and...Read full review »

This series is surprising and every episode is engrossing. Impressive storytelling. It covers the disaster, but also asks big picture questions that keep me thinking about the show after I'm done listening. It’s deep. Great music too, a rare feat!Read full review »
Crooooner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
This podcast is one of the best I have listened to. The reporting is thorough and the storytelling driven by the voices of folks who were there. I didn’t realize how bad things were after the spill and how badly people were treated by BP and the government. At times, this has been hard to listen...Read full review »

Masterful exploration of the BP oil spill, unraveling human stories and systemic failures behind the environmental disaster. Engaging and immersive. Promotes reflection on the long term consequences of crony capitalism government and big business working together against the citizens.
HesterAB3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
I've been listening to this show since the week it came out and I've admired it more and more with each episode released. It's a rigorous piece of investigative journalism set apart by its host and its presentation. Ripple's host is never alarmist, always measured. His voice is...Read full review »

I loved the way the subject carried the story rather than the reporting chasing a preconceived notion. Well done I look forward to more.
pchipsssss via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/23/24
Excellent! People need to know and understand how big corporation money and brand is more important than the lives of people. This podcast helps to educate people so better decisions can be made which might help improve survival of those being taken advantage of by corporate money
Loghill Brigade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/24
This is an incredibly well researched and presented podcast. It is so sad we see state and federal agencies and courts siding with large petroleum companies. Lives forever ruined and many lost with no hope for restitution. Well done.

Love the in depth analysis and deep dive. Loved the show so much that I donated and worth every penny.

OK I admit it the story about John Moss brought me to tears. his bravery and tenacity is beyond impressive. And the last line in this podcast made me cry all over again. Beautifully reported and poignant.
Cbeaudzik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
Thank you for giving voice to the voiceless, and for offering the real truth of the devastating consequences of the BP spill and so-called clean-up. This podcast shines a bright light on the enormous human disconnect that allows financial profits to come before responsible, global citizenship....Read full review »

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in months! I am a real podcast consumer and this just ticked all the boxes for me. Engaging, enlightening and well told. Really excellent. I’m so furious now. Thank you

Ripple takes on the most powerful government and one of the richest companies in the world. Bravos ~ Ripple shows how far a company was willing to go to cover its mistakes, and how powerless our government was when its citizens were threatened by this multibillion-dollar company. Ripple cuts...Read full review »

It’s good. You’ll be upset at the total disregard for these peoples lives. Sadly I’m not the least bit surprised about what they were knowingly subjected to by the greedy and immoral.
zombiemommysendcoffee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/24
One of the most thorough reporting podcasts I’ve heard.
CieloSera via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/24
Excellent journalism. This is subject matter that is heavy and depressing but we should all be more aware of the ways our planet is being destroyed. The never ending thirst for oil and the lives ruined in its wake.
Lozen16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/24
Amazing series, so glad we have these reporters looking into the full story

mmmjazz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/02/24
Excellent reporting with many things I never knew, also with a strong bent towards the human costs of all of it. Kudos!
AdrienneMarieS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/24
Well reported and really engaging storytelling. I’m learning so much about an incident that has been unfairly forgotten by most of the country. Can’t wait for more episodes!
birdssszzzzz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
Well told and well paced. Lots of interviews with a variety of people adversely affected by this tragedy. So much we didn’t know.

Interesting facts that I did not see during the actual event. Dude has a good voice.
Steve ms, cac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
Perfectly done. Great pacing. We hear from the victims and voices of those impacted. No opinion based comments from the host. Excellent

So much fascinating detail, but moves quickly and sounds amazing. A respectful approach.
