Honestly, I thought the podcast was outstanding! The podcast tackles, a complicated and sensitive matter, and I think it does a good job at presenting both sides of the issue. I understand why men like Eddie Gallagher exist, and I also understand the value that the Gallaghers of the world bring...Read full review »

I will say the Apple TV show was very good, but this podcast takes five second sound bites and forces it’s own narrative. I thought it would be more informative and allow the listener to come to their own conclusion, rather than trying to add more to the “guilty” narrative. If you want to come to...Read full review »

Very interesting and well-written (seemed fair in reporting). Kept me engaged.

Very well done. Listened with my veteran brother who also felt it was compelling and captured nuance that is often missed in these kinds of conversations. Highly recommend.

This is a look into a world that I don’t know much about. I found it very interesting and empathetic to both sides
Barnes5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/23
Really well told story. Dan Taberski, the host, handles these guys really well, which isn’t always easy when dealing with guys that have been through what they have. He challenges them in a fair way, without ever accusing them of anything or losing his objectivity. I have HUGE questions and...Read full review »

Very good, well put together. Can’t help but feeling that a podcast host doesn’t like Eddie Gallagher..

I have never thought about the ethical and moral dilemmas our soldiers face every day. I already had a tremendous amount of respect for our servicemen and women, but this podcast made me respect them even more. Well done, covering both sides of the story, and making us all think about ethical...Read full review »

SEALS are NOT the quiet professionals. Special Forces, aka Green Berets, are The Quiet Professionals. Getting basic information regarding special operations wrong is not a great way to start a podcast.
Hangonsloopy04 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/23
A good podcast but it raised a lot more questions than it answers. It would be good if ATV+ were to follow it up with an in-depth look at the impact of special ops on the situations they were supposed to address (ie what happened to the people and places where they happened) and the families and...Read full review »

Starting to listen to episodes so far sounds like Lloydminster in how wrong behaviour is and has been getting rewarded? How but yes hello all and having hard time with things goin in here lately -Horace holt
SOS of a deadman via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/27/23
I started watching the series this week and didn’t start listening to the podcast until I watched episode 3. I didn’t even know there was a podcast or that it came out first. The podcast goes everywhere I hoped the series would…the psychology of Seals, their upbringing, the trauma of war and the...Read full review »

This show is excellent. It doesn’t take sides (at least not directly), so you are listening to each episode and hanging on every word from each participant, understanding that war is ugly… on all sides.
Catia Hans via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/23
I have so much respect for our Navy Seals. They are a rare breed and achieve what few can. I salute them and all our men and women in uniform. Thank you for your service!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Great podcast!!
bull&$it via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/23
Well put together- a great listen thanks
caff6350 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/28/23
Powerful podcast here where we get to hear from those who’ve served our country speak for themselves and hear for ourselves what our nations policies have asked out of our men and women in uniform in what is now known as the forever wars. Gripping and powerful narrative here that is fair to those...Read full review »

Amazing I’m speechless

Well paced, balanced reporting. I really like Dan as a host too, lovely voice. Well done Apple and Dan.
RWoodsF via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/06/22
I expected a left-wing screed. It was super well-balanced and expertly produced. Engaging all the way through!
PodThaiNoodles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/22
Kept me hooked from beginning to end, and the follow up to the story before there Apple TV doc was released was telling.

As a former soldier, the Geneva Convention is immutable. If you kill a prisoner you’ve committed murder.

Great American. Oh crap that was a stunner.
Georgia Boy US sailorman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/22
Yep Dan. You are good at your job.
dannabanana12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/22
When a sheep does a podcast/series on a wolf they’re perspective never strays from their pre-conceived narrative. There is no world in which this author could ever truly be objective because he’ll always be a sheep, and has perspective of the prey. These men are wolves and then live and operate...Read full review »
wolvtele54 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/22
It’s interesting that there are so many people saying that this podcast is biased against Navy SEALs. I most definitely went into this believing that Eddie Gallagher is a straight up psychopath who committed the war crime of murdering an injured teenage combatant. Yet never have I changed my mind...Read full review »

No matter which side of the line you’re on, there are some serious questions we need to ask ourselves as Americans. Thanks for bringing this story more attention, Dan. As always, amazing writing and reporting.
Knott.Melanie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/22
The story reveals a part of military operations that does not make it to the mass audience. It saddens me that our military does support our soldiers after their sacrifice of mind and body. Your story is compelling in terms of activating my attention to current events and consideration to...Read full review »

First let me say that Dan Taberski could put out a podcast about goldfish and I would tune in attentively. Excellent story telling and narrating that allows you to feel one way, and then change your mind as the story unfolds. I recommend this particular podcast to everyone and anyone because I...Read full review »

I read “Alpha” before listening to this podcast, which delves into the specifics of what happened in the Alpha platoon and the trial of Eddie Gallagher. He’s a psychopath in my opinion, and it’s a gross miscarriage of justice that he’s suffered almost no consequences for his crimes. He and his...Read full review »

I hope all these men know that their are some of us that really care about their well being. I hope any of these guys would open up and take a chance before they self harmed or worse. We all thank you for your sacrifice.
pitateet66 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/22
Don’t mind listening to the last minute or so of each episode, it’s him reading the credits. Even if he would’ve shot the guy after capturing him I don’t see a problem with it. The fact there are “rules” to war is absurd especially when you are fighting someone who doesn’t follow “rules” and uses...Read full review »
FlyingCastro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/22
I can see it now from all angles… Myself I think he did stab the prisoner But I can also see why the other seal asked for immunity and took the fall for it to avoid him going to jail, yet I can also see how the other seals were torn with him not following the rules It’s definitely a fine...Read full review »

Dan is a fantastic podcaster with an amazing voice! Easy to listen to, in fact I have binged all of his podcast’s.
ThasTurrable via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/22
Nicely done. New territory for me but i thoroughly enjoyed
Urik76895 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/22
Unbiased reporting - excellent - a must listen if only to highlight the psychological issues many military face post combat and importantly to expose what a disgusting morally defunct pair of imbeciles the Gallaghers are
CLQAU via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/27/22
Well done series paints an interesting portrait of trauma and manifestations ppl adopt to survive it. We need more guys like this platoon who stand up against all odds against a psychopath in their midst and the blind hierarchy who supports & promotes psychopaths because to do otherwise would...Read full review »

A great, informative and, at times, raw podcast! Thank you and yes, I will watch the documentary on apple+!
The heeed some shwad via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/07/22
I am surprised Gibney is behind this weak apology for a war criminal’s actions and a host who says the Seals who came forward “dimed out” Gallagher. The “dude” host isn’t up to the job and lacks the smarts and gravitas this subject matter deserved.
bobored via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/22
Well written, well presented, very balanced view. Very enjoyable.
Jamo98765 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/03/22
Great journalism, great writing. Really fascinating and disturbing. A must listen.
byghuip via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/22
I really appreciated this podcast. I found the host to be thoughtful and nuanced in his exploration of this case, and it was particularly compelling to hear from Eddie Gallagher himself. Over the course of the show, Dan Taberski slowly and methodically brings larger questions about how we ask our...Read full review »
