Amazing work, fantastic storytelling

But Season 2 was just awful, I couldn't endure more than 3 episodes. It went from incredibly well researched, incredibly well presented and incredibly fascinating - to the exact opposite. Essentially an attempt at glorifying a domestic terrorist. We should not be asked to sympathise with a...Read full review »

So far I am enjoying this series. I like the presentation. However, I hoped it would be made very clear that US policy during Iran-Iraq war was to equipt Iraq with the means to make chemical weapons, & to sanction their use so as to avoid an Iran win at all costs. The means to make those...Read full review »

Went from robust, nuanced, balanced, quality journalism in season 1 to biased, confusing, confused nonsense in season 2.

Having lived in Portland since 1985, I’ve been witness to the unfolding political drama that has happened here since then. This podcast was eye-opening in many ways mostly because it’s the news that didn’t make ’the news’ and explains why law enforcement here is questionable

The season about Sean K in portland is well done. Sergio Olmos is a great host.
Mitch Coos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/21
The show itself is produced very well. But I can’t wrap my head around the defund the police/ we want the police to solve this rhetoric. Witnesses at the scene are saying they’ll NEVER testify. Of course the system needs a complete overhaul, but in the terms and mode of this case/podcast, very...Read full review »

Excellent reporting of a tragic unsolved murder in its historical, political, and personal context. Provides true insight about the current political climate in Portland.

An fascinating deep dive into what has been happening on the streets of Portland for the past few years. Really appreciate this show.
alicemerry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/21
I think this podcast was well done and told a perspective that I didn’t have much insight to. However I do not understand the view of wanting some justice but then saying they would never help the police? Police need witnesses and information to solve cases. I can’t wrap my head around those...Read full review »

Sergio Olmos and team do a remarkable review and analysis of what happened with Portland protests in 2020. Very engaging and eye opening.
cmbfrompdx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/21
This is great investigative reporting, he put in the work and got answers.
Musickmagick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/21
The good is, this is well presented. Sergio is clear and does well presenting the story. The content is questionable. Very biased, from one extreme view in most cases, while criticizing the other extreme view. I had hoped there would be more balance. There are no likable people in this story....Read full review »

Series one was excellent! Serious two was not a good listen, utter drivel at times. People who were very principled at others expense. Mind that seems to be the only link between the series.!
C C Mc Flowers via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/03/21
The episodes about Portland give a point of view but has little objectivity. If the presenter is some kind of journalist he lacks depth and critical thinking and not sure I’m hearing anything that useful.
Meiisma via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/18/21
S1 was excellent.. S2 is nothing more than a one sided left wing puff piece masquerading as journalism. I'm quite impartial in politics, but this is cringeworthy! Such a shame...Read full review »

Compelling but on the whole, I find this coverage unbalanced. There’s plenty of problems at both extremes and the amount of damage done to downtown Portland during the 2020 protests was glossed over. Also, some of the background music is quite intrusive.
Fricorfrac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/21
i can’t believe this isn’t getting more attention?? this is such a relevant, nuanced story about (but not limited to): a mother’s heartbreaking journey thru grief, corruption in law enforcement, Portland’s dark, racist history and the groups that formed to combat it, a thoughtful,...Read full review »

Parts of season 2 have given me chills. The Portland area is home and I hadn’t heard lots of this before.
podcastfam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/21
Really worth listening to!
Pod person 1000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/21
The first series was presented by David Dimbleby, the doyen of news anchors, and boasted interviews with ministers, generals and decision-makers. The second one features a motley crew of drop-outs, attention-seekers and self-styled radicals and is hosted by a fellow traveller who has no...Read full review »

This New series on the violent guy with the trash mother is rubbish.
annaisabella80 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/27/21
It’s a great story, really heartbreaking at times.
nolanrubybeck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/21
This podcast is captivating on how messed up these people are. The mom is a joke. Her son is dead because she was a horrible parent. She thinks so much of this is funny… keep laughing mom don’t give a crap about your pile of a son.
ringneck86 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/21
Lays the sociopathy of the US neocons and the hubris of Tony Blair bare for all to see. A major contributor to the decline in trust for politicians and the media in the West over the last twenty years, and of course the chaos and death that rippled out across the middle east and the world.
Lurio po meo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/21/21
Sergio Olmos decides to do a "both sides" narratives to a young person's death by platforming fascists who participated in his murder. This is why anti-fascists hate liberal press, y'all work with fash.Read full review »

Joey Gibson is not a “conservative” and should never be given airtime to openly lie about what he did and what he advocates.

Not a fan of the Portland drama kids protest. Sounds like an adrenaline high. Go to school. Graduate. Don’t sell out. Effect change from within.

Wonderful and very captivating!

All the excitement of a true crime thriller with real insights to the state of the country. Can’t wait to hear what comes next!

This is a must listen. So compelling and hold your interests So riveting it makes you glued to your seat I can’t wait for next weeks episode.
thespa33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/21
This was a riveting podcast. The listener can feel the heartbreak of Sean’s family and their anger & frustration over his senseless death. Can’t wait for Episode 2!!

How exactly did things “escalate” from the terror in Portland to the little amble in the Capitol?
Seven Seat via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/14/21
Series 2 has little or no connection to the theme of series 1, let alone the subject matter. I don’t understand why they have been released under the same banner…
MentorMo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/14/21
Really captivating storytelling. Keep up the good work!
lmonocle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/21
A fine piece of investigative journalism, albeit with the benefit of hindsight and sifted facts from fiction. Getting Blair to be interviewed was a master stroke. But his blaming the security services, for effectively having been strong-armed into supporting the Govt’s WMD stance, is either naive...Read full review »

My word what an excellent podcast. Not surprising, Mr Dimbleby is an icon when it comes to political investigation and analysis. 5 stars without hesitation and I really hope he makes another series. About what?
villa pithari via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/13/21
Very insightful, good quality journalism with interviews with those involved. This is one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to, and highly recommend it!

Mind blowing, unsettling but utterly liberating to have the truth, so coherently and credibly set out. My entire political understanding has shifted.

I was 4 when the Iraq War started so I never knew the lead-up to it and the constant talk about the prospect of war and WMD. However, Dimbleby does an amazing job here with a great cohort of guests. It’s so captivating you become invested and start to like/dislike the characters especially Blair,...Read full review »
