Blindspot - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I actually stumbled onto this podcast (at least season 1) because the pilot episode was played as a “guest” episode on another podcast I already listen to. And I’m glad I did because holy cow, this was engaging! The music, the narration, the twists & turns… how each episode kinda builds on the previous one… I actually had to force myself to stop after each episode, so I wouldn’t finish the whole thing in one day.

This beautifully produced documentary podcast tells the story of racial injustice and violence during the early 20th century, of which the Tulsa Massacre was just one of many punctuation marks.

Not having pictures to watch on a screen does not detract from the storytelling. In describing the larger context of the massacre, covering very difficult to think about violence, it is an engrossing podcast to listen to. And it has made my kids and me want to learn more.

Until the wounds inflicted by racial injustice have been cleaned and dressed properly, we will never truly become the great America we all want to be. An important part of that process is to understand more completely the history of how we got here, and this podcast is a compelling part of that.

History is human. It is a compilation of stories and experiences from the people that endured, exploited, survived, and flourished through it.

I learned a ton while being entertained… though that might not be the correct word, as I was disgusted at points, angry, ashamed, but also inspired and… COMPELLED, is the better word.

Enjoy both seasons, learn through riveting accounts, and delight in the production value and the efforts to bring it to us.

I have been telling friends and family to listen as well. Just loved it. Can’t wait and HOPE for more.. I am a better, and more informed person because of these podcast productions.

Thanks again!

“What if there’d never been an HIV epidemic?”

Wow. As someone who has a decent understanding of the history of HIV/AIDS this podcast was refreshing. Amplifying the voices of women and QTPOC folx, this podcast provides a critical counter narrative. Exceptionally well done.
