One Year - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Slate please reconsider halting production! Josh, Evan and team have done a masterful job of uncovering quirky, personal stories that bring to life important moments in history through a combination of incredible storytelling, touching interviews and rare, archival footage. I’ve learned so much listening and this is definitely my most shared podcast with friends and family. Please invest in this outstanding journalism and more years of “One Year”!

I listened to one season of this podcast, 1942, as I’m not interested in the other years featured. I learned some interesting things from the 1942 series, so thanks to everyone for that. My favorite episode was the one about radio propaganda/disinformation. Fascinating. If you ever do any year from the 1930s or 1940-45, I’ll be back. My feeling is that you want to cover topics where you can interview people who lived it, and that’s less likely the farther back we go. Still I live in hope.

It’s a real blow to hear One Year is being canceled. There are stories I’ve heard on this podcast that I would never have heard otherwise, and I consider myself well read. It’s telling that it would be canceled after two seasons that really highlighted POC and LGBT+ content, though.

This is a consistently outstanding podcast. Love the attention to small moments that provide texture to the past.
