Fiasco

…I’m not sure it has enough ads. I really require a deep saturation of mid roll advertising to be able to feel anything at all. I wish this show had more ads…

Overall, love Leon’s narration style and his choice of topics. Every season is so well organized, insightful, and engaging. The AIDS epidemic season in particular, is just the best of podcasting. However, I have to call out two areas that I struggle with: 1) the ADHD season was rough- uneven, less researched, and overall just falls short on a topic that desperately deserves more nuanced discussion. Lastly, his decision to interview Pamela Brown for the Benghazi season…. Someone who admits she lacks foreign policy experience in the episode…. Was just a bad decision. She is an idiot, full stop.

I began listening to the Benghazi season hoping for an objective look at what happened. Instead I found a podcast that spent more time criticizing Republicans, Fox News, and the Tea Party than both Obama and Clinton, who were ultimately responsible and who both slept through those 13 hours. The only conservatives interviewed were either tangentially involved or had an axe to grind against the Republicans. Don’t waste your time.

Can’t wait for you to do a story on trump and Russia and how you can spin it.

I get the media has to go all in on the “Far Right” narrative, even in Benghazi, but calling Trey Gowdy a Tea Party leader is laughable. He wasn’t a member and in reality was a very high profile State Prosecutor. That’s why he was named.
