“After listening to this a year ago, MLB finally corrected the flaws this podcast brought up and inserting all Negro League stats. This was an amazing piece of writing and reporting on a major flaw that has been corrected. I hope you feel great knowing your efforts paid off.”

“Educational, eye-opening, engaging and entertaining. This is a must-listen for any baseball fan, and non-fans alike. I listened to The Forgotten League in a weekend and was sad when it ended.”

“The 6 episodes were enlightening, informative, educational, uplifting, factual, historical, entertaining, thought provoking and down right inspirational. I had moments where I wanted to cheer and I had moments where my eyes welled up with tears.
The final episode left me yearning for more, so I...”Read full review »

“This podcast brings the emotion of this league to life so beautifully. One minute I feel like the negro leagues were so romantic and fun. Next minute I’m angry and sad about the racism. And the host makes it so personal in just the right way.”

“Personal stories mixed with big picture themes. Not shying away from the atrocities of racial segregation, but also highlighting the greatness that existed in the league. I really enjoyed this.”

“Thank you very much for this sad historical, and current, commentary on racial discrimination in sports in our country. It also explains why many of the current MLB players are from the Caribbean and other Latin cultures. Also thanks for the explanation of current youth “travel” teams and why...”Read full review »

“I would have liked to have heard a podcast about the negro leagues, but if you want to learn more about people like Biz Mackey, Cool Papa Bell or Satchel Paige you will be disappointed. This is much more of a black struggle/black grievance podcast.”

“This is a well formed podcast that would be good for every “American” to listen to very closely. Thank you to the podcasters, even though it’d been better if it’d all been different (the world itself, not the podcast). The podcast takes its time to tell a good story.”

“I didn’t know much about Emmitt Till’s mother or family before, but now I can say I do. And I’m glad I do because Maimee was such a good person and deserves to have her story told. The amount of tragedy that befell her throughout her life was unfair but she kept trudging on and even went on to...”Read full review »

“Thank you so much for sharing their stories. It‘s shocking to realize these events (Tulsa & Emmett’s Murder) occurred roughly around WWI and WWII. As we fought evil abroad, we let fester the rot of racism. These stories need to be taught in school. I never knew about any of them growing up....”Read full review »

“What a mom, Emmet would’ve been so proud of her. I am a mother and I’ve lost a son to SIDS some years ago. I was devastated & my pain so visceral I felt I needed to rip away at my very skin I was turned inside out and even a slight breeze against my face hurt…. I don’t think my pain could’ve...”Read full review »

“To the fool who gave this one star and said “agenda instead of factual” I have one question What do YOU think the facts are you idiot!? Her son WAS murdered! This is a story about Mamie and it IS factual! There’s no way you could be this stupid and say a story about a woman’s life isn’t factual....”Read full review »

“What a powerful documentary of the horror that befell Emmett Till. My God I truly felt her pain; a scream for justice for all the mothers who have lost their children to the wicked hatred of man. I can’t even cry anymore it just sad. But I know one thing there is a God. If justice was not given...”Read full review »

“This is a hard part of our history to hear, but necessary for us to know. Thank you for telling it from Mamie’s perspective. The telling did justice to the evil of the Jim Crow South and the heroic grace and courage of mothers whose sons have been taken too soon.”
