Season 7 narrator ugh
Love this show and was really looking forward to season 7 but the narrator this season is atrocious. Millennial upspeak, vocal fry, the works. Had to stop listening. Otherwise great series. Please think about the voices you use to tell these important stories!

Gaslit TV inspired me to listen
I can’t believe what a nightmare this was. I’m just now catching up on the real history. It’s horrifying. And it’s 100 times worse now. Thank you all! I signed up again to Slate Plus too!

Good for most people
I generally like this form of historical recap reporting. Unfortunately for me though, you say “axe” instead of “ask” repeatedly and I’m out. There is better spoken content out there. I will check-in again next season.

One of the best.
Learned of this podcast a few days ago and I'm loving it! Finished season 6 and now on to 3. Joel is an awesome host.

The worst
The hosts are not interesting or insightful about this case — unfortunate they took the time when they had nothing interesting to say or add to the journey that could meet the complexity and intrigue of such a time and case

Season on Nixon is necessary
If you love a Revolutions or Forgotten Wars Podcast season focus on something, then you’ll love Slow Burns focus on people like Nixon.

Booo
Replaced my five star rating with a one star rating once you had to pay for it starting in season 4. The cherry on top is that for one, it still shows I have unplayed episodes (like notifications) with no option to set as played or delete for episodes that I can’t listen to anyway, and then second it only lets you listen to random episodes for free, which is the stupidest thing ever. Yeah sure I’d love to jump in on the middle of a story, in episode four without knowing anything about this story or the episodes before it, cool! Podcasts and apps have only gotten worse and not surprisingly not greedy. There’s a million podcasts for free, why would I pay for this. Used to recommend this to everyone, not anymore…

From Watergate to the rap and rap activist wars of the 90s - this podcast is a serious addiction.

And we are back from commercial… let’s take a short break
My god, the amount of ads in this is crazy. Maybe I should listen to the one that tells me to buy the no ads version… but first let’s take a short break.

Welcoming to re-think about history
I have listened to 2 seasons, this show provides great background for the topics they discuss, with lots of side topics if you want to deep dive.

This is what got me into podcasts
Slow Burn season 2 was one of the first podcasts that I really got into and it spawned a love of podcasts. Subsequent seasons have not disappointed. My only wish is that there were more episodes.

Rodney King Season
I like the podcast, but it is VERY hard to listen to a journalist repeatedly saying aks instead of ask. English is English.

Puts history into context!
I personally was 20 years old at the time of these events and recall viscerally how they unfolded. The sense of outrage at the verdict and then the sense of terror at the community’s reaction. I lived in Ohio and we even saw unrest unlike anything I had witnessed in my lifetime. In college at the time, I recall a professor assigned an exercise in documenting all the times our local news (broadcast and written) depicted Black people - almost 100 % of the time as criminals. This podcast puts the story more firmly into context- the lawyer’s odd decisions, Mr. King’s upbringing, alcoholism, poverty…. We didn’t know any of this at the time. Excellent job, Slate plus! The ads were gross, as others have already expressed.

Leon Neyfakh excavates the strange subplots and forgotten characters of recent political history—and finds surprising parallels to the present. Season 1 of Slow Burn captured what it felt like to live through Watergate; Season 2 does the same with the saga of Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
