Jonathan idolizes one of America’s most prolific serial murder, George Tiller.

Jonathan idolizes one of America’s most prolific serial murder, George Tiller. And I think that’s disgusting. Serial murders do not get a pass simply because they have MD behind their name. George Tiller was and died being a monster. There is no constitutional right to murder.

They couldn’t help themselves

I really enjoyed the first several episode and the detail they provided about these historical event. The episode that dealt with abortion was fine until it got very political at the end of part two. I am not a fan of media that has to insert the producer’s political ideals. As I say with sport and my interactions with others, it is best to keep politics out of if. My advice would be stick to history, but he last thing I want in my life is more political. Cheers!

Informative

The production is great. The narration and information are presented perfectly. The sound effects are a excellent touch that adds a clear mental image to help guide its listeners. My only gripes with the show are in two episodes where the gun used in assassinations is said to be a revolver, the sound effects used are that of a automatic hand gun which eject the shell onto the ground. This took me out of the story each time I would hear a shell casing hit the ground. Other wise this is a new favorite of mine that I look forward to every week.

Keep up the good work!

I was looking for a random podcast to listen to, and stumbled upon this one. Since I only listen to about three I was excited to try this one out, and thank god I did this has become one of my most favorite podcast. The sounds they have like the gunshots make it so that it’s like your there watching the protest, seeing the person assassinate the other it really exciting.
