“I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Obviously very conversant with the Bob Dylan song, but I could never quite work out where things went from there. This brings it all together in I would say an unbiased way, though obviously people on either side of the crime have vastly different views on what...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast that isn’t biased in any way, they are just looking to find some truth in this old case. Truly great 👍”

“No matter how you come away from this podcast believing or understanding as the truth of this story, Steve Crossman, a British sports journalist, does a wicked job off re-investing the triple murder homicide from June 1966 in Paterson, NJ where Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and 19-year old, John...”Read full review »

“I was in college when the Bob Dylan song Hurricane came out and it was one of wmy favorites. I never new what happened after that. Now i have a good idea. Thank you. The story is unfortunately very relevant to the social injustice that is still prevalent. Sadly nothing has changed in 50 years.”

“Stumbled across this via a social media recommendation and it’s stunning. I have a couple of episodes left to go but I’m saving them for a long drive, even though I’m desperate to find out how the story ends. I’m not American, but you can tell from the voices that so much of the racism in the 60s...”Read full review »

“I’ve had my good share of true crime podcasts, especially those that are dissecting one single case bit by bit. I was not too eager about a sports related crime and so I skipped this for a while. I have to admit that the catchy Bob Dylan tune finally lured me in. And I am glad it did. This is not...”Read full review »

“This is really a great story. I would Defo recommend a listen. The most annoying thing is that they seemed to have played it at a faster/speeded up so some conversations and voices sounded cartoonish and not easy to understand. So at times the sadness, desperation, anger and all the other...”Read full review »

“This I feel is the finest true crime podcast to come from our side of the Atlantic. I knew about the case from Dylan’s song and the publicity generated by the movie etc. However, the complexity of the story was new- at least to me- and fascinatingly told.
One small caveat - the final episode...”Read full review »
