Short Creek wasn’t the first podcast I’ve listened to about fundamentalist LDS, but it was the best. A sensitive, nuanced portrait of some complicated and horrible situations.

Season one was the best!!!!!

I would have liked to hear a conclusion on how Black Memphis was destroyed from even what it was in the 50’s due to the very government that was spying on its own citizens; That said, it allowed a detailed discussion of the subject at hand;

I enjoyed style and music. However, it seemed they intentionally led us down one path only to ambush us with new info in the last 2 episodes. The info was new to us, but we find the hosts have known about this angle the whole time, just didn’t share. I felt like they wanted it to be the white...Read full review »

Absolutely brilliant. My Mom was a civil rights activist in the 60’s. I’m so glad and grateful to you for this podcast.

In a world of so many podcasts, this stands out. I’m the biggest fan of Unfinished! Excellent journalism!! You’d be missing out if you forgo this experience. Absolutely top notch, and one of my favorite podcasts, but in a 40min clip I hear the same sound clips from each episode over and over....Read full review »

The story is told with TRUE facts! Wonderfully told! I appreciate that his family and those who remember we him have the chance to share what they remember. I’m sharing this story and podcast with anyone who will listen. Excellent job!

Very informing and told in a way that has a me on the edge of my seat. One of my favorite podcast

Two screaming women basically reading a story to each other from People Magazine. The only scam here is on listeners sucked into hearing this regurgitated nonsense. The worst show yet from Blundery

I have been a fan of the Unfinished Podcast since season 1 “Deep South” (another excellent podcast BTW). I was surprised and excited to see that Wesley Lowry is covering the Ernest Withers story, because we are working with The Withers Collection on a generative art project based on Withers...Read full review »

Wesley Lowry does an excellent job telling this very surprising story. Informative and thoughtful and very well produced. Looking forward to more from Mr Lowry!!

Can’t wait to hear the rest of the series. A fascinating story more people should know about

Love the first two episodes. Delving into the complexities of the man.

Wesley Lowery is an incredibly refreshing voice in this style of podcast. Instead of just going down a list of questions Wesley Lowery has genuine conversations where you can tell he is actually listening and not waiting to speak. I love his versatility to go from a journalistic style narrator to...Read full review »

Very good listen, uncovering facts you never knew. Love podcasts like this!
Chrissylocs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/22
Thanks for sharing this important story. I don’t think it did harm to the movement in terms of its gravity. What it did was expose the weakness in all of us and as was stated. The very real choices and hard decisions we are all tasked to make. We can only hope that when faced with such decisions,...Read full review »

This series explores how something that seems illogical could makes sense. Thanks to the team who followed the trail and opened our eyes.

Your ending with Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah was brilliant. I didn’t cry until then. Thank you for this story.
MesabiGirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/22
Short creek is 5 stars, Deep South is 3 stars, average 4 stars. HIGHLY recommend Short Creek
cdubbub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/22
When it comes to production value, this is a very professional podcast. Great music, super interesting story on the Deep South. The hosts have good story telling voices and they did an excellent job doing research. One reviewer said their cuts were poorly done with dead silence. I only heard that...Read full review »

What a different perspective and unexpected history lesson about the south. We need to update history books. This in disgusting, enlightening and inspiring all in one.
gpeachesharter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/22
I cannot believe people can be that foolish. They walk among us. Great subject, great podcast… Most concise and informative Warren Jeffs history than I’ve heard in the past.
usedtolikeher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/22
Love the work Witness Docs supports. Some of the best investigative journalism and documentary podcast stories out there. Unfinished did not disappoint. Really elevates podcasts to such a high bar, I struggle to listen to the rushed unprofessional “true crime” content being churned out. Keep...Read full review »

Interesting story. I think the delivery was decent and the information was fascinating. With that being said, there seemed to be all sides of the story except a side representing the “mainstream Mormon church”. I know several people who are LDS and I was bummed to not have their side of the story...Read full review »

Good content for understanding how religious (and political) groups jump the shark and start grabbing power too tightly, and getting out of them soon enough.
Robbiepolitico via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/21
I was super into this podcast up until they gave the inaccurate PR version of the death of Joseph Smith rather than reporting on actual historical facts. Please do your research if you want to maintain journalistic integrity.
Pbeach231 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/21
“The houses got smaller and the churches got bigger.” To me that description is emblematic of the way this whole story was told. It’s incurious and designed around the shorthand way that northern people think about the south. This is a worthy story, unfortunately the hosts chose to tell it by...Read full review »
Horse Racing is legal again! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/21
Love the podcast(I have only listened to the first season so far, excited for the second). The only thing I didn’t like was when the producer comes on, kinda come out of nowhere and it feels like she is pushing a narrative that isn’t actually the story that is being told. The journalists who are...Read full review »

The episodes should be organized in a way that the next episode automatically start at the end of each episode. I would think this is common sense but I guess I’m wrong. It’s annoying to be honest, especially when driving. Do better.

So sick
Yogurt Castle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/21
I have only listened to Unfinished: Short Creek. It was outstanding. The hosts were such talented interviewers and analysts. A serious topic compellingly explored.
East LA podcasr connoisseur via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/21
Listened to Deep South only so far. Travel back to the 1950s South and learn back at the mysterious, unsolved murder of Isidore Banks. The writing, the reporting and the soundtrack are all top notch. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but it is a story that needed to be told. Taylor Hom and Neil...Read full review »
PavelAta via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/21
I didn’t bother listening to Season 1, because I knew they would not just tell an interesting story but beat us over the head with an agenda and tell us what to think about it. I had higher hopes for Season 2, but I was disappointed. Like seemingly every other Millennial / Gen Z podcaster, these...Read full review »
Nyan Cat FTW! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/21
I am not so sure that this reporter is the best person to give a clear telling of this story. It doesn’t seem appropriate or professional to bring up your own emotional baggage and expect the interviewee to provide you with support. Nor should it be a place for your tears about your life. This is...Read full review »

The Short Creek story was so interesting and well done. I’ve seen lots of shows on this stuff and to embed yourselves inside the town for such a period of time is a new take that mainstream Arab shows just don’t do.
BDB13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/21
This podcast is compelling. Gave me a much better understanding of Short Creek and why people, primarily women, stayed and lived this life, initially, but not after Jeffs showed up. One question - do all men from this religious sect speak in a slow, measured, creepy cadence? They all sounded...Read full review »

We took the opportunity during a long drive through the Carolinas, West Virginia, and Virginia to binge-listen to Deep South from Witness docs. We didn’t intend to listen straight through, but we had no choice; we were instantly hooked! Neil Shea, a journalist I’ve long admired for his writing,...Read full review »

Great reporting and tireless investigating by the reporters in this series. So compelling.

More antiwhite rhetoric and sowing more division. Unsubbed ....... so over this now. As a mental health expert I’ve seen on a day to day basis how much damage this antiwhite rhetoric is doing to people. Two wrongs do not make a right and I don’t like blaming innocent people for past actions of...Read full review »

The reporting, insight and humanity is unparalleled. Both seasons are powerful and truly stand out in a sea of similar podcasts. Don’t miss it.

Storytelling at its absolute best! The journalists have done an excellent job of capturing an era of Race Terror, tracing its roots, and illustrating how it still exists in a modern form today. Spellbinding mystery and tragic history, for the Banks family, their community and this country. It’s...Read full review »

You really should not stereotype “White People”. Maybe “some white people”. You also assume what is in a persons mind.....how can you fact check that on someone who is long gone?? It is just as insulting as stereotyping black people “all like fried chicken....”. Insulting to me & my...Read full review »

Listened to both seasons back to back. Amazing topics explored with such depth, finesse and compassion. Can’t wait for Season 3 and beyond.
zspins2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/21
but wow, I'm learning new info. Since I just started the series I'm only on the 'KEEPING SWEET' episode, but I have a few questions which I hope will be answered during the AMA (ask me anything) last episode. Also, are these two podcasters/women on Twitter by any chance? ...Read full review »
