The Bigger Picture | 15

I’m not sure why this podcast wasn’t on my radar earlier because it’s one of the most entertaining listens I’ve had in a long time. Perfect balance of science and compelling narrative. Analysis of ineptitude/corruption on behalf of the local government. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

Shockingly excellent

Just listened to ep 14 and I am disgusted! This is why no one trust government or police
