My first podcast!

I’m glad I chose this as the first podcast I’ve ever listened to. The history is great, the storytelling and rapport between the hosts and their guests is even better! Give this some a listen. It’s worth your time.

very interesting

I visited Angola in 2024 and had very conflicting feelings about the experience. Listening to this podcast has helped me to balance my empathy for the inmates with the reality of why they are there. Excellent podcast.
