Great concept, execution could use work

Love the concept and the information, but like others have said it feels a little scripted and rote. Less like a conversation and more like I’m being read to. I would definitely encourage the hosts to read through some of the stickier points like the numbers ahead of time and have a conversation about the people they’re talking about instead of reading a Wikipedia article to me. Overall I want to support these voices and these stories and hope they grow so I can continue listening and learning, hence the 5*.

Lots of Potential

I think this podcast has a bunch of potential. I didn’t like how it seems so scripted. Like, all of the emotions that are in this from the hosts just don’t seem genuine. I was expecting to hear stories from indigenous peoples and learn about their cultures, history, etc. I like the research behind these stories and it seems like they did a google search to get the quick facts. I think this podcast can be great, but I think if it wasn’t scripted, it would be an improvement.
