Jack 204WeakFirst the childhood acquaintance that reports with obvious amusement that Thomas was a nerd and bullied. Then we have the college acquaintance who chuckles when he says Thomas had no game with women. Then we have the ex girlfriend who says he was a drunk and wore shabby clothes and liked porn (but she still dated him). Also, apparently he can’t dance either. Cheap shots by false friends who are probably jealous of his success or craving attention. None of this is newsworthy. Actually it’s all pretty common human experiences. It is a shabby attempt to shame and bully a man because you don’t like his politics. Waiting for the podcast about how well Hillary or Biden can dance.

DevlynmcFascinating show, but…I love this podcast. However, Slate keeping the ‘Roe v Wade’ season behind a paywall is pretty counterintuitive to making that season in the first place. Don’t yall want people to learn this history?

Ccarre5Allows Israel ads to play on their episodeAbsolutely disgusting to allow Zionist ads on your show. Shame on you.

Mark48185Twist The Meaning to Fit The NarrativeMislabeling is a Liberal trend. Reproductive rights? To reproduce something is to produce something again or to generate (offspring) by sexual or asexual means. Abortion is the opposite of “Reproductive.” This is not an opinion but a scientific fact.

MotherDebzEvolution, Devolution and a MirrorI realized as a kid that the hearings were bogus and made me furious. I was an adolescent and yelled back at the TV that “SHE was the one who was electronically lynched, not HIM”. Having more diversity in the media has helped SOME but clearly isn’t enough in the era of “grab ‘em by the p*ssy” and senators who allow judicial candidates to skirt hard questions saying they won’t act as legislators from a bench seat with almost no oversight with weasely “settled law” or “precedent” nonsense. It is a boon that those of the Alito and Thomas ilk feel empowered to dissemble at such a degree that the USA has lost some reverence for the SCOTUS, finally. Nobody in power should be there for life and nobody in public service is exempt from accountability. Thanks for speaking truth to power and providing a platform for all people to reclaim our voices even though we do live in an ever approaching caliphate that denies the fact that the only mechanism available to regular people for a leg up and opportunity is often a government at some level. A State that considers and meets the needs of collective humanity is a key for a more equitable society, in my opinion. Your work is stellar, Slate. Thank You.

FYouRivalzExtremely glitchy playbackPodcast content is OK, but I’d sure like it more if it didn’t seem to skip chunks of content and repeat other parts. Doesn’t happen to me on any other podcast.
-
kh-neEpisodes stop half way throughThe episodes that you don’t need a subscription for freeze about 28 to 32 minutes into the episode and will not play any further.The content is great, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t listen to it.
-
DarthJader27Don’t waste your timeI got really into season 3, but the last two episodes are behind a paywall so you can finish it without paying $15. They did a really good job and had great content. Would have been a 5 star rating if I could finish.

Owsleyowl44Great content, horrible playback!!!Most of Seasons 1-4 are subjected to random repeated content, only half episodes playing, episodes not playing at all. The content is great but if I can’t hear it I am frustrated.

bunnyravitzRemarkable.I was 20 when Anita Hill testified at Thomas’ confirmation hearings. I remember being outraged that they didn’t believe her but was too young, too inexperienced in the world to really take on the full emotional load of what happened. I am now staring down the barrel of 52 and have practiced as a white, female lawyer since 1997 and experienced my own versions of sexism and sex harassment in the profession even when working amongst fellow liberals and in the court system. I’m only 51 but remember being told not to wear pants to Federal court appearances or I would lose. Never mind the overt harassment I experienced every time I appeared in state court (in ‘liberal’ New York, now less) and at the hands of colleagues and coworkers. And I had white privileged that provided a measure of bubble wrap to my experiences that women of color did/so not. The humanity you imparted to Professor Hill while laying bare her trauma - no less stunning and painful than that of Christine Blasey-Ford - could not have been in easy tightrope to walk but you did so beautifully. I also so appreciate your vulnerability in conveying your experience as a Black man against the dissonance of Thomas’ evisceration of case law that protected Black and brown students, voters, and others. I have loved all seasons of Slow Burn but this one will stay with me for a very long time. Thank you so much.

lordemsworthHow dare theyThe last two episodes only available to subscribers! How will I ever know how watergate ends!!!

Sheep tracksDifficult subject well doneI appreciated the respect given to all people interviewed for this, especially Thomas’s mother. The story is upsetting on many fronts but very important documentation of something we should all pay attention to.
-
papabevGood podcastsAs always the left media can’t have any conversation with out brining up trump and their hatred towards him stick to the subject. Apparently if it’s a fetus it can die but calling it a baby is too far. It’s a left wing hit piece but what else is new they play to the audience’s ignorance for emotional reactions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with going on a trip with a friend.
-
FCol8Great podcastJoel’s voice is great. This story about Clarence Thomas was very informative. I am happy I tuned in. Every episode was narrated great.
-
LolapantsWould love to hear moreAs a slate plus member of several years, i can’t seem to get access to the exclusive content for this series. It’s not included in the overarching, and quite messy, Slate Plus podcast hub, and I can’t seem to login to my account through here. 😩 any help would be appreciated!

wats spy gurlBeating down a blk conservativeOne star is man try to find any way possible to make this person look bad wonder why is it because he was a conservative and not a Democrat? Just confused, unhappy with the podcast.

LordFrieza91Hit PieceI cannot understand why people can’t figure out how to respect people you disagree with. You don’t have to like him, but have some respect

cpaige1911Outstanding work Joel!!!Appreciate you for your work on all of the Slow Burn podcasts you have hosted!! Thank you again and keep up the good work… Also, as Josh stated, Episode 3 was truly a BANGER!!!

Rebecca.riotImpeach Clarence Thomas and Abortion is healthcareEdit to include newest season: Clarence Thomas and Kegstand Kavanaugh should have never been sworn in as Supreme Court Justices. People who dismiss women as casually and caustically as they do, do not deserve a mantle that allows them to make decisions over whether we should have rights over our own bodies. Clarence Thomas is and has been a bitter man with a vendetta, and who has no respect for women. Impeach Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Barret. Dear John Doe 1 2, You obviously don’t know what it is to menstruate, have a pregnant body, or give birth. You’re also clearly not a doctor, obstetrician, nor a gynecologist. You don’t know the myriad ways pregnancies can go wrong and threaten the life of the pregnant person. You also don’t know squat about biology, because life does NOT begin at conception. That is a strictly religious belief and does not belong in legislating, nor in a uterus that does not belong to you. You don’t know what it’s like to be a single mother in this country facing insane housing costs, childcare costs, rising food prices, formula shortages, minimum wages, and the stigma of being a single mother, or a woman in general. You have all the care for a clump of forming cells, but none for the human beings right in front of your face. Your opinion is fed by disinformation and mysoginy, and you can shove it where the sun don’t shine.

echo dogSuperb.This was such an interesting, compassionate, detailed and incredibly well presented “story”. Understanding Justices Thomas’ journey does not make me agree with him any more, but it does help me to understand him a bit better. Great reporting. Recommending this to many friends.

Black Man hates coonsSlow burnGood show, if you are non-black or a sell out you will probably think it’s “racist” about black ppl calling out a black man who hates black ppl
-
clothladySeason 8 incomplete and anticlimacticListening to season eight about Clarence Thomas as a regular listener seemed very incomplete. I missed out of half of the story because I would have to pay for those special episodes, and the last episode just seem to hang in the air.
-
Dodgerdog 65People do grow upLife was tough for a black person in the south all those years ago. What Mr Thomas’ experiences as a young man is what made him who he is today. Why can’t people judge people by their character instead of their color. I still enjoy your podcast because I like to hear what the other side has to say. Despite what the liberal media says, Clarence Thomas is a great man.

Pods14679ExcellentTruly great show.

gogreendtabWell DoneWell researched, captivating narration, impressive ability to cover a lifetime in 4 succinct episodes that still left you feeling like you read an in-depth biography.

Zamalama69RacistThis is a racist podcast against a great man.

lovenewsFascinating…Absolutely RivertingI’d just arrived from Africa when the Thomas confirmation was on TV. Young me found that process fascinating and was shocked how it was all televised. Democracy in action, I thought. Fast forward to now, and I am truly disappointed and shaken by what America’s experiment is looking like. But I digress. I am fascinated by this podcast. A lot about Thomas now makes sense to me. Not an enigma. Just a survivor, by any means necessary. And an angry sad man. #inferioritycomplex
-
LoganfoolClarence is a disgrace.Clarence hates Black people, and he hates white people. He hates being black. He holds it against everybody! He sure didn’t close his hand while he was getting affirmative action. He was right there in line getting his share, but he doesn’t want anybody else to get it?
-
iris murdocockExcellent reportageMy only complaint is that there are just four episodes. But I imagine if—as one of Thomas’s friend’s claims—this brother will be on the bench til his last breath that he will continue to scandalize SCOTUS and himself in the eyes of the American public. Great work, Slow Burn Team!
-
theshycholoInteresting from beginning to endGreat podcast and investigating, I know have a better understanding of the man Clearance was and who he became.
-
LanerdiusRivetingThe Clarence Thomas season is thoughtful, nuanced and engaging! Joel did an amazing job on this whole series.
-
parul jonesSuch a good seasonI learned so much about Thomas. I gotta say: I don’t like the guy, but I understand him and can at least appreciate his talents and smarts. Just can’t respect the man.
-
TTYllkubvgvbbSo bias!Bias! No need to listen, typical liberal bias!
-
jaldenfigJob Well DoneAs he did with his previous Slow Burn seasons, Joel Anderson does an exceptional job putting together the narrative for this season. A gripping tale of Thomas’s evolution told through primary sources and interviews with some of the most important people in Thomas’s life. Cannot recommend highly enough!
-
cowgirlcarrie“Owned by someone else”Thank you for this important episode… the trial of Anita Hill was the first time my barely adult self truly understood what happens to women in the world. Have things changed? Have they changed enough? What is my role in that change?
-
BigShug1911Where is this weeks episode, I’m anxious!!😂This documentary is awesome and I wait in anticipation for the next episode each week. The producers, writers and narrators couldn’t have done a better job! Slate is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
-
The Bop PoliceExcellent documentary.The truth about this Thomas couldn’t be presented better. Makes me sick even more when I hear his voice.
