Mixed review

While it’s cool to get insight into the Waco incident through this podcast, the host is pretty bad.
One of the things that sets great podcasts apart is the hosts’ ability to listen…to let the guest speak at length, and to ask relevant follow-up questions. This host is rude and interrupts the guest on multiple occasions.

Excellent

Very informative with episodes featuring those who were actually there. Thirty years later the Waco tragedy still resonates.

Host

That old man host who keeps countering all the answers these survivors are giving, can eat a meat. Dude literally ruins this entire podcast. I’d slap him around if I could meet him. Shut up and be grateful these people are reliving this history for you. Dudes a clown
