“Ed Helms is funny, interesting and insightful with a charming delivery. I had never awareness of the topics for seasons 1-2 but now I can’t wait for season 3!!!”

“As someone who lives with the Vietnam war daily through my PTSD veteran spouse, it was incredibly emotional to hear this story from the courageous activists. A cautionary tale for those supporting politicians who would encourage or recreate a “Hoover” atmosphere in our country.”

“I had no idea that you had a podcast until I heard you on Fly on the Wall. I am so glad you were a guest, after the show I immediately hit follow, without even knowing what your podcast was fully about. Then I binged the whole season two because I was on a long road trip. Now I am bingeing...”Read full review »

“Having lived during these episodes as an ordinary working woman, I am rarely surprised but, when journalism was ‘real’ in the USA it sent shockwaves across the nation.
Nothing is ever as the government wants us to believe.
Thank you Ed and team !!

“I stumbled across this podcast and binged the first season in a week. I found it entertaining, informative and shocking. I liked the mix of the host and interviews with the people involved. This is the type of information that isn’t shared in schools but is vital for people to share, and learn...”Read full review »

“Typically media in this genre scares me, filling me a sense of impending doom. However, there’s something about Ed Helms’ delivery that makes me so entertained to learn about these important moments in our history that I feel too few know about. I have spent the past week listening to Season 2...”Read full review »

What could’ve been an informative listen quickly devolves into blatant distortions and political bias! There is solid info to be gleaned here on a fascinating...”Read full review »

I’m a language-person, though, so I have to say -- every time Ed Helms introduces the show’s name I physically cringe. The word “Snafu” is fun...”Read full review »

“The topic is of interest, but the podcast could be a third the length. There is a lot of repetition and tons of time spent teasing and reteasing future complements. I would prefer they just told the story.
Also, reminds me of one my favorite fiction books from this era: Fail-Safe.”

“Then the Hangover happened and he got famous despite Galiafanakis and Bradley Cooper carrying the load. Helms also became increasingly unfunny on the office as they transitioned him from
Minor to major character. Avoid this pod if you’re looking for humor.”

“The content of this show is good and it’s well-produced, but I guess they only managed to entice the host with a huge salary because the ads are frequent and long. There are plenty of other shows that provide good info and decent production without sticking 10 minutes of ads into every 35 minutes...”Read full review »
