Dig - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to leave a podcast review. The second season of Dig shook me to my core. I work in the justice system and represented protestors during 2020 in Louisville, Kentucky. Eleanor so accurately presents the movement surrounding the deaths of Breonna Taylor and David McAtee, that I found myself having to hit pause to gather myself and my memories of the time. She presents the failures of LMPD in such a straight forward manner through the voices of the communities they have failed the most. Dig season 2 is a call to action.

I sincerely hope investigative reporting such as this will help bring down America’s rape culture and bring much deserved justice to the victims and persecutors, including the horribly biased, apathetic officer with the body cam who should have been her first ally that night and instead perpetrated and prolonged her abuse. Excellent podcast! Thank you for shining a light.

Excellent podcast. The host takes the listener through the case and clearly describes what is happening and what laws/standards are involved in every police/prosecutorial event. Highly recommend!

Great, but I feel like the story is unfinished, which is why I wanted to rate it as only 4 stars. I gave it 5 stars because of the quality of the reporting in hopes that the folks who made this podcast will be given the opportunity to make more. I hope there are more episodes in their future podcasts.

Others said it was repetitive, but I thought the repeated bits were simply recaps from previous episodes to jog the listener's memory in case the listener wasn't binging the podcast. I don't find the repetition to be problematic. I just wish there were more episodes.

Original Review on Season 1 (5 star) - Great podcast because this story needs to be told, and the host has done that without emotion, based on fact. Love the recorded content that helps back up the claims of the host/subject. Sometimes these types of investigative podcasts need some “fluff,” and that drags it out, this did not. Love this podcast! I’m from Louisville and I hope you will continue to create more podcasts exposing corruption here.

Second season - this podcast goes really anti-police and pretty one-sided. It also fails to acknowledge some of the issues happening in the city. Crime in Louisville is on the rise and Louisville must police this, and that includes arrests. Not all criminals are innocent, not all police are bad.
