I grew up as a child of the 80s and AIDS was everywhere but your report gave me a whole new insight into the history of how it was treated and actions taken or lack of. Looking forward to the next topic.

I enjoyed learning about this subject now that more is known about AIDS/HIV. The narrator has a pleasant voice and tone~ just seems a bit biased towards the left. And WAY too easy on Fauci and his missteps with this disease. He is responsible for much of the delays in acting - very sad.

The extremely important story of AIDS in American is given the dignity it deserves with incredible research and storytelling at its finest. A must-listen — I cannot recommend more highly

Best podcast I’ve heard in years.

Powerful messages and many precious lives lost to ignorance and hatred.

I love this podcast but what is the release schedule?? We need more!!

I was a big fan of Slow Burn. I’ve listened to the first three episodes of Season 5 (AIDS crisis), all of which have been excellent. I also really enjoyed Season 2 (Iran-Contra). However. I stopped listening about halfway through the first episode of Season 1 (Bush v Gore) because the narrator grossly misrepresented Gore’s odds of winning the election. I am old enough to remember that one, and it’s simply not true that Gore was on a glide path to the presidency. I also stopped listening to Season 3 (Boston busing) very early on, because the narrator completely sidestepped a huge issue: both black and white parents objected to their children spending literally hours on the bus. There was *also* a lot of racism, but I can’t trust someone who doesn’t even mention this. San Francisco is one of the few cities that still buses, and every parent I know says it adds nothing but chaos to school admissions. We also still have very disparate educational gaps, so however well-intentioned, busing is bad policy. Bottom line, like all wonky podcasts, the narrator has a distinctly liberal lean. That mostly works for me since it’s in line with my own political sympathies, but be aware you may not be getting the full story.

There hasn’t been a new episode in 3 weeks. Help!! 😆

This has been the most informative thing about the 2000 election I have come across so far. Loved every episode!

But voter suppression is barely mentioned. These episodes are interesting but this podcast spends little time on the large effect of Florida’s racist laws and Republicans’ use of them for power. Just remember that as you listen.

This is the first Presidential Election I voted in so I remember it well. The podcast does an excellent job of recreating that era and all the dynamics that were at play. You also get to hear current interviews from the people that were involved and old news clips that really bring the time period back. Highly recommended!

So relevant for what is ongoing in this 2020 election. Those outside of South Florida are still bewildered by the Trump support in Miami-Dade. This podcast gives context as to why.

Great work and great presentation of this story. Fascinating.

The way he explains the story is just so intense. Love it.

I usually don’t leave Apple reviews but man this one deserves. So well done. It honestly feels like you are there... paints a perfect picture of what went down.

I didn’t expect that you’d upload only a partial season without letting people know. It’s a very interesting subject and I feel like you should have made the limited episodes part more clear at the beginning in ITunes so people know what they’re starting. You refer to it as “Season 1” but it would be more accurate to say “3 free episodes of 11”

Love these ... the detail , the pacing .... podcast heaven!

Love the straightforward but compelling way this history is presented. Appreciate that the narrators just...narrate, without needing to do a bunch of dumb jokes or something. A new angle on a historical event I thought I knew.

This explains so much. So relevant to today’s situation!!!

A tremendous show about an election that is more bizarre and corrupt than almost anyone remembers. The story is captivating, and the podcast features interviews with a wide range of firsthand participants: Justice John Paul Stevens, Florida Sec of State Katherine Harris, and dozens of others.

Leon is the best host and this show is excellent.

This is an amazing listen that keeps the promise of making the listener feel like they are watching events unfold in real time. I listened to this when it was released and will likely listen again now that it’s public.

This show is so good! And surprising! I never knew that environmentalists and Cubans swung the election. You’ll get it if you listen

Not only is this story captivating it is need to know for anyone who is voting in the 2020 election. The story telling is easy to follow and includes interviews with the players. I just sent this to all of my kids and told them it is a must listen as they have all reached the age to vote! 2 of which are 1st time voters.
