“Deze podcast geeft een onwijs heldere inkijk in de problematiek van de Amerikaanse politiek! Een strijd die voorbij gaat aan idealen maar enkel om trots. Wat een zonde!
Diepgaande podcast die als je geen Amerika kenner bent wel lastig is om te volgen maar reuze interessant blijft!”

“From everything that I have read are elections in the US have been fair transparent and accurate. Every vote on Election Day is legit. Never thought that I would get a trump stolen election conspiracy talk on Serial. They usually tend to be towards the left. Listeners beware!”

“This podcast tells the story of the challenges Black voters across these United States are facing getting their votes to matter. The inner struggle of black voters is deep and has the scars of enslavement, Jim Crow era written all over it. As black voters are still building the foundation of...”Read full review »

“I can only assume people that are saying this is “boring” don’t care about their voting rights and don’t understand or care about racism
It’s mind blowing to me … this podcast is brilliant, Zoe knocks it out of the park once again.”

“Echoing what others have said… there was just no point? A podcast that could have been incredibly interesting that was just okay and a reporter that clearly had so many biases that it was hard to believe her claims of “fair reporting.” Try again!”

“Very interesting story, compelling telling, balanced reporting. Great to hear how a very localised investigative journalism piece works. If you like this, check out the Trojan Horse Affair by the same people - I heard that one first, also excellent.”

“This podcast puts a human face on devastating realities like race in politics. Zoe Chace’s investigative reporting is excruciatingly human but exquisitely non-partisan — no easy feat. I literally couldn’t stop listening and ended up bingeing. I never do that. I’d recommend it to anyone.”

““A true story about election fraud” is the tagline for this podcast. I’m not entirely sure what this podcast was about, but it definitely was NOT about actual election fraud - at least not after the first 10-15 minutes. There are some interesting points about how allegations of fraud take on a...”Read full review »

“The reporter clearly had an agenda and wasn’t entirely impartial. The way that she presented things felt bias. I’m sure she ran into a lot of people unwilling to talk but she did more telling the story with her own words rather than audio evidence. This may not be her own fault at all, but...”Read full review »

“Make no mistake, the story is very interesting and the reporting is thorough. However, the agenda was clear throughout. Evidence against the two parties involved are held to different standards and comments throughout reveal the reporter’s bias clearly. A frustrating listen.”

What struck me is the way she was articulating the reality of minority voters. She got it so well that I thought she was a Black or Hispanic journalist. Pleasant surprise near the end of episode 4.
Quiet a story. Keep up the...”Read full review »

“Zoe Chace’s reporting is extremely thorough and nuanced. She uncovers a subtle but effective racism that has largely replaced violence but is just as effective in denying Black people equal access to democracy.”
