“I loved this show when I listened to the first couple seasons. Such depth on fascinating topics! I found my way back recently to catch up on the seasons I’d missed the discovered that the last two episodes of each season are now shortened and behind a pay wall… so it used to be memberships were...”Read full review »

“I am old enough to have lived through all of this history, and yet hearing it told through the people working at Fox in its early days is blowing my mind. At first, I was worried that thinking about politics during the election would stress me out, but I’m finding it’s just…explaining a lot....”Read full review »

“This latest episode was OK, but there were several instances of two narration tracks playing simultaneously. Should have been caught. This isn’t some shoddy homemade podcast.”

“I used to really enjoy this podcast. Now it seems to lack discipline to tell the story in a concise manner. Too many voices are brought in to talk about tangents that don’t support what is supposed to be the storyline. Needs a fresh look at editing.”

“Having just rerun the outstanding Season 1 on Watergate, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between the Nixon true believers and present day MAGAs or more accurately Trump tragics.
I thought the study of history was supposed the prevent the same mistakes being made again?!?

“I listened to 4 hours of content only to find out that I’d have to pay to get the last two episodes. You really need to tell people upfront before they waste their time. Not to mention it’s just sneaky and wrong. You won’t find me giving Slate another chance. I’ve wasted enough of my time...”Read full review »

“This was a really good series at one time. These last few seasons, however, have been pretty boring. Maybe the are running out of subjects but I couldn’t even make it through one episode in the latest season. It was putting me to sleep.”

“Contents aside, it is distracting to be forced to listen to an ad in a different language even I understand it. I mean while you make a podcast of English, then why don’t you keep the whole thing understandable in that language?”

“This is the first podcast. I’ve ever listened to that only allows paying customers to listen to the final episodes of a series after leading them through all its prior episodes.

“Working my way through season 9 and it is nice to hear historical fact being reported where lesbians and gays get the credit they deserve - thankfully trans activists have not been shoehorned into the story claiming a part of history that doesn’t belong to them.”

“I don’t like how they put selective episodes behind a paywall. For example, the whole first season is available except the last ep. Which, I mean, do your thing, but it doesn’t make me want to listen to any more since I’m worried I won’t be able to hear the ending. Other slate podcasts offset...”Read full review »

“Season 9 is about the fight for gay rights. And the parallel with the current anti-trans hate sweeping the nation is chilling! Let’s hope we as a nation have learned from the prior fight for gay rights and motivate EVERYONE to stand up NOW and fight for trans rights!”

“Mislabeling is a Liberal trend. Reproductive rights? To reproduce something is to produce something again or to generate (offspring) by sexual or asexual means. Abortion is the opposite of “Reproductive.” This is not an opinion but a scientific fact.”
