“The Vietnam documentary itself is absolutely very important, and everyone should watch it. It’s amazing.
This podcast, though, does not live up to that level of quality.
The host speaks and asks questions like a teenager, almost unlistenable. Awful voice, just terrible, all interviewees has...”Read full review »
