Good, but not great
Interesting story. Annoying narration. I’d rather draw my own conclusions about a subject than be told how or what to think of one. Just tell the story in an entertaining way - we’re smart enough to form our own opinions and conclusions.

Interesting but sometimes difficult to follow all of the names
I found this to be interesting, but was sometimes difficult to follow the various persons involved—sometimes the names were so similar. Also, I found SO MANY similarities between between Silvio and the top American leader (2016-2020). It also shows that the human nature of people (males in this story) are the same, no matter when, and where, they live in this world. Change must come from the inside—in a person’s heart— only God can change a person’s heart. Change is so hard!

Loved this podcast. Not many things make me laugh out loud, between Whitney’s quips and the story I was blown away. The namesake joke reminds me of something I would have heard as a bartender in the 80’s!

Informative, but tasteless
Very thorough and sound journalism, but the writing and presentation is fairly tasteless. The titular phrase is openly a reference to a racist rape joke, and they made it the TITLE. If you can find a better Berlusconi exposé, choose that instead.

Excellent
Excellent podcast in every aspect. Loved WC voice. It’s a disgusting story. Did The Loser just copied Berlusconi? I do hope his end is different!!

AMAZING
Wow. As nasty as American politics are, we’ve found something nastier. Love to hear the stories about Silvio. Reminds me of a former governor of Louisiana who said, allegedly, yes, I’m a crook but at least I’m im being honest with you. He was voted in several times (might be a good podcast). Anyway, I digress, great podcast. Love the narrators. Just the proper blend of humor and facts. Well, Bunga Bunga!!

Well written and presented!
Love Whitney & her silly quips - made this terrifying story a little more lighthearted. Well done! A great work time binge.

Ok story telling
A lot of tongue-in-cheek humor so it wasn’t boring. I especially laughed when, in the very end, she eluded to how a skirt chasing, money grabbing politician couldn’t happen here! Hahaha! Calling Bill Clinton out like that!!

Lackluster
Huge fan of wonders podcasts and “feeling the story” however in this case I could have dealt with feeling the story through a different narrator as Whitney Cummings made this mostly dull story insufferable.

ZZZzz
American girls pretending to know all about Italian politics. The only interesting thing about this podcast is the thumbnail and the title, everything else is Boring.

Meh
It’s prolly a Great story, I just couldnt get into this style of telling it. Also, I dont like the title and the story behind it was pretty anti-climactic.

Bad Jokes
Pathetic storytelling with stupid ironic and heavy handed jokes. Not funny and wish you had simply told the story without all the sing song reading. Sounded like a bad disc jockey

Insufferable jokes
Great reporting but the host’s jokes are painful and absolutely insufferable. It almost makes this unlistenable. This would have been just as funny with straight narration and none of the forced commentary.

Lively well told and well researched
Absolutely engaging narration of a very weird part of Italy’s recent history. Told in such a way that I feel like I am hearing it from a favorite girlfriend while talking over dinner. Obviously well researched so I learned something too. Highly recommend this.

Narration is a NOPE
Story is interesting but the hosts narration is heavy handed, biased, and overall sounds likes shes just trying a bit too hard to make a point. We get it.

Ad reads...no

Great storytelling and good narration. I like Whitney’s narration a lot but some of the jokes and comments felt a little heavy-handed or forced. Overall a very interesting and informative podcast.
