Grenada’s revolutionary leader, Maurice Bishop, was executed in a coup in 1983. Seven other people, members of his cabinet and friends, were killed alongside him.

This is one of the best podcast series I to which I have listened. Ever. Without question. Extraordinarily well researched, the host and crew have gone to incredible lengths to uncover unique tidbits of information and explain Bishop’s circumstances in accurate and expertly edited historical context.

Just incredible storytelling and great questions, fascinating story, largely unknown. Superbly edited and fantastic interviews. Encourage anyone who loves “Serial” or “This American Life” podcasts or the show “True Detective” to listen.
