Short Creek
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 hosts are self-indulgent, preachy, and desperate to be more “woke” than the next one. They claim to be “unbiased” by sympathizing with child abuse while simultaneously whining about their own “hardships” and “outsider status,” being ex-Mormon in one case and Jewish in another. The 5-minute diatribe at the beginning of Episode 7 was the icing on the cake. More importantly, they tell the story in a completely convoluted way; if you don’t already know who all these “prophets” were, it’s impossible to keep track and make sense of the story, and the constant jumping around in the timeline results in needless repetition. All of this could be avoided by telling the story chronologically, but there seems to be some law against that now.

I listened to the first 3 episodes in one night and look forward to discovering how the rest of the story unfolds. An...Read full review »

Any podcast that explores history truthfully is one that can only help the U.S. shed the disgusting white supremacy that prevents true equality and equity in this nation for African Americans. Keep telling the truth, and thank you.
