“I LOVE history and these story’s are so interesting I still haven’t got around to listening to the 1955 and 1990 but I’m sure their great after I’m done with this I’ll listen to 1955 and 1990 but keep it coming. I can’t wait to see what comes next after all there are thousands of years.”

“These sick people participate in the most disgusting form of victim blaming with their Ruby Ridge podcast. The FBI murdered Vicki Weaver in cold blood and the narrator acts as if she had it coming. It’s a despicable and subhuman position. Absolutely terrible.”

“Very dubious with this Slate brand since their immature under researched Fascism “Academy”— “the three of us divided up this book…” High School C+.”

“I don't know why I thought this series wouldn't be that interesting. But I was pleasantly surprised. The episode about Jesus in the tortilla was much more moving than a story about a religious image in food has a right to be. And the Laetrile episode is remarkably relevant to today's...”Read full review »

“This episode was absolutely outstanding, and eerily relevant to the 2021 vaccination debate: strange political bedfellows, calls of freedom versus expert medical opinion, and children’s lives at stake….”

“I almost didn’t listen to the David Duke series. I had no interest whatsoever in that person but let me tell you that was a good series. Taught me so much about people who hate people based upon race, gender, and religion. How they convince others to join their cause using a false narrative. I...”Read full review »

““The power that bureaucrats thrive on”? Most bureaucrats DON’T “thrive on power”. Just like bad journalists and bad podcasters, perhaps bad bureaucrats thrive on power. #thinkdeeper”

“I really like the podcast! Important issues of criminal justice being discussed here.
Only thing I don’t understand is, if the podcast is called “Slate” then why is the image/logo, say “The Queen”? It’s very confusing and frankly a really dumb thing to do if you’re trying to get people to...”Read full review »

“I was enjoying listening to this until that statement was made. Turned it off and won’t listen to this podcast again. How can people of color say things like this, when if it were reversed, and a white person said “one of the good black people” there would be an uproar. Racism runs both ways...”

“What an amazing project. Hopefully not the last! It really illustrates the nuances of the current debate around criminal justice reform.
The negative reviews (quasi-‘featured’ on the Apple podcast app) are just strange and ridiculous.”
