SAD OLIGARCH - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is such a well-researched and thought out podcast. In light of the ongoing war in Ukraine and Russia’s internal political and economic tensions, these oligarchs’ deaths raise questions and suspicions that need to be explored. Kudos to Jake and his team for being smart enough to connect the dots and brave enough to publicize their findings.

Jake Hanrahan is such a good journalist, storyteller and presenter! This show is well researched, informative and tense. Jake has great taste in truly chilling background music..

Very engaging and detailed reporting. The subject matter is hardly covered at all in US and UK media.

Eventually, I hope the podcast will turn to educated discussion about connecting the “what” to some more detailed “why” speculations.

Well thought out and measured approach to a rather ambiguous and murky subject . To be honest, I didn’t know this was a thing until I heard this show. Once again, Jake and co brought an under reported topic to the light for me.

The premise of this show had such promise. “Why are so many Russian oligarchs showing up dead.” Cool I love hearing about the crazy corrupt internal politics of Russia. But I was let down. If the first two episodes are any indication of the remainder of the season it’s just repeating the opening line 50 different ways followed by baseless speculation. I thought there would be some real reporting,

I really want to like this podcast. The subject is fascinating but please tone down the constant background music and weird, fake audio voice. I try to listen but I’m overstimulated a minute into the episode and want to turn it off.
