Entertaining from the start. Excellent research, some of the best I’ve heard. Very good production. Fun, flows and written well. Can’t wait for season 3 and beyond!!!! Thank you!….now, I need to check out their website for the documents they managed to obtain, no thx to the three letter agencies I surmise.

Great show, very informative.

The first season was great, until the end. Why would you not cast the same critical eye upon fbi hijinks when they are perpetrated against “right wing extremism”? The terror factory narrative is fantastic, the problem is leftists act as if it’s only them who get the cointelpro treatment. Please remain consistent!

Great work all around. You guys told a very compelling and important story, my only gripe is the terrible ads but you gotta do what you gotta do!

Amazing investigative journalism! We need this on Netflix

Overall, interesting journalism and it is seemingly well produced, but I can’t get past the ~10 minutes of adds per 30 minute episode.

They clearly don’t do actual research. Many of these episodes are told from information read on mainstream media outlets. We know how accurate those are. Add the shear numbers of annoying ads, and this is a shoddy podcast. Don’t waste your time.

I’ll give it five stars but there’s just way too many rates I think the show is really only 15 minutes of actually actually telling a story. Season 1 was good season 2 is silly

Episode 9: EPSTEIN DIDN’T KILL HIMSELF

Aaronson does a masterful job of laying out the case against the FBI - and it is a truly damning case - giving the listener a deep sense of how much backsliding on racial justice the FBI has undergone. Why did the FBI completely miss the imminent threat of white supremacist violence that culminated in the attacks on January 6th? Aaronson clearly shows how the FBI was too busy trying to entrap members of the racial justice movement to see that the real problem is white nationalism. This cannot be ignored, most of all because we cannot afford to have another generation of racial justice activists subverted, abused, and killed by federal law enforcement.

I found this podcast through the episode on reveal on NPR, so I was really taken back by all the ads. If they were just at the beginning or end, it would have worked way better. As it, it’s pretty much unlistenable to. Especially the very dramatic true crime commercial that plays over and over and over. Great sources and production values though.

Thanks to the Reveal podcast, was led here and found this gem. Can’t wait until you can get enough support to reduce the breaks or set up a no-ad paid option. Keep up the good work.

Would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the constant ad breaks in the middle of the episodes. I understand they pay the bills, but it’d be much better to just have all the ads in the beginning so the flow of the narrative isn’t constantly interrupted.

These are incredibly researched backed by info from inside sources usually only found in major publications. I can’t believe I got to listen to these for free.

Season 2 is scattered repetitive snd disappointing. Forced and cringey hard to finish. Commentator adds very little.

Show interesting but drawn out for time. Ads are so bad can’t put this on our play it anywhere. Would be ashamed to be a journalist with these schlocky ads running on top. Ashamed.

Binged the whole first season today at work. Really well done. Thank you.

Pretending Antifa is actually a pacifist group that never initiates violence is an absolute lie and straight propaganda. Not worth your time. This show is straight up propaganda. What a farce. In regards to De’Von Bailey: Police Sgt. Alan Van't Land and Officer Blake Evenson said they feared Bailey may have been reaching for a gun as he ran. Body-cam footage released by investigators showed officers removing a pistol from Bailey's pocket after he was shot and was on the ground in handcuffs. This show is total propaganda. Anyone who believes this guy is as likely to believe the FBI has our best interests in heart

Maybe not take a one sided view of FBI / CIA informant involvement in Jan. 6. I challenge you to do the same deep dive on Ray Epps that you did on Micky. Might be something we all need to hear.

Don’t listen to the closed minded people with clear biases and/or short attention span. This is a GREAT podcast that has quickly become one of my favorites. It is well researched, well put together and very well narrated. I can’t wait for next season!!!

Both seasons have been really enjoyable! An interesting but infuriating situation… times two. Brilliant narration and impeccable research. Thoroughly enjoy!

The FBI is out of control. If this is how they operate they must be a lot of innocent people in jail.

Interesting but definitely left leaning!

So many pauses in order to “add length” to his podcast. Listening at 1.5 speed helps, but everyone else talks normally.

You had a chance to do something great here and ruined it by forcing your slanted views and cherry picking bits and pieces and trying to cobble them together to follow your narrative. This is the equivalent of the grocery store tabloids from the 1990s

This podcast makes the argument that it is exposing government corruption. It is barely doing that. The main character of the show is asked point blank, would you like to incite violence through public speaking and set up domestic terrorism by blowing up the city center of Denver,CO. The answer to both is yes. The narrator also makes the case that the FBI had no reason to investigate violent protests in a city because they had no names of organizers when the protests happened. Imagine saying the same thing about the capital riots. Honestly I’m getting a real kick out of this show because he is making arguments that could literally be turned around to the defense of any civil unrest whether the narrator agrees with them or not. Calling your main character the good guy when he wants to incite violence is definitely what MLK Jr respected and taught us during the civil rights movement.

Between ads, recaps, and previews of the next episode there is only about five minutes of information in each show. Should have been distilled into a third of the episodes made which is a shame because the information is interesting. Reminds me of watching DBZ on Toonami.

I love this podcast! It helps shed light on the double standard methods of the government!

Not journalism definitely. Entirely slanted point of view. This is leftist propaganda disguised as storytelling.

This whole mess starts off with two seemingly completely incompetent CIA employees. I really hope their HR listens to this podcast. Interesting and bewildering.

Please! Stop Pausing after every few words. It makes the show really hard for me to listen to.

Rarely brings up counter views, which makes it easy to tell a shallow story. Routinely picks the narrative to support their opinions. Pass

Very well done, thank you to whomever leaked you the files!!

This podcast shines a light on many of the activities you think are happening in the FBI, but they are still shocking to hear. Incentives provided by egomaniacal FBI agents that end up ruining people’s lives. When you are “double crossed” by people you think you can trust, you start questioning your own judgment and you feel like you can’t trust anyone. Even those with a tangential relationship are effected in a profound way. These behaviors should be illegal and the FBI agents providing these incentives should be arrested! Please direct people to this podcast so they can have this information, before it happens to them. I’m totally disgusted, and yet, inspired to try to do something about it (although I’ll probably be gas lit and targeted myself if I try). That’s a sad commentary. We shouldn’t fear that our own government agencies, especially law enforcement agencies, may try to entrap us or set us up by using criminals to convince us to participate or engage in something we wouldn’t have normally done. Listen to this podcast and think critically!

These are stories that need to be brought into the light and I appreciate the work being put into them. Now here comes the but, these shows are 50 percent ads or the same audio being repeated. I get ads, ads don’t bother me within reason. But when the show is stretched this much to what can only be shove more Ad’s into it I find myself turning it off and deleting the sub. The second season is even worse in this regard. Hopefully he finds a less obnoxious way to fund his works and gets a more aggressive editor.

Great story and storytelling. I listen the same day new episodes drop and can’t wait for the next ones.

I found this podcast very interesting and informative. Makes me angry at the abuse of power committed by many agencies. It's a story that needs to be told.

Great podcast but slanted to continue the narrative of left right … paints clear picture of Feds doing what Feds always do but dismisses that they could ever do that in the “insurrection” lol makes me laugh as feds always do what Feds do and it’s beautiful he got some of the goods on em on this one but should be more enlightened and just take a gander at the Michigan governor “kidnapping “ plot 😂 same game and they don’t care left or right they only care about chaos and keeping their order, power and narrative.

Binge it, Binge it, Binge it, Binge it, Binge it,

This is one of the most frustrating shows I subscribe to. While host Trevor Aaronson has clearly done very deep research, his delivery is absolutely unbearable because of his constant “pausing for effect”. It’s like listening to 30 minutes of ellipses. You can’t make it better by speeding up the playback, because his delivery is otherwise fairly clipped. It is borderline unlistenable. Trevor, I beg of you, cut way back on all the dramatic pauses. Please. Make your podcast listenable for us.

This is an important story that was ruined by the clear biased shown in presenting partial information about important points and offering excuses for the victims.

Season 1 details political harrasssment by local PD and FBI going on in 2022. And shows that a significant amount of the violence that did happen during the 2020 Floyd protests was initiated at the urging of FBI informants. Fox News will not be airing corrections.

Got sent here by iSpy. Binged the first season in 2 days. Trevor has nerves of steel and is a fantastic story teller. Highly recommend to everyone

It’s like he doesn’t even register what he’s reading. His emphasis is on wrong words and he pauses and strange spots. Nice story but brutal to listen to.

If all iHeart podcasts are this slanted ….

Love the first season so good!!’ I’m listening to the second season now & trying to get into it however I’m thinking it’s not gonna be as good as the 1st but still keep listening…. As it’s just started. Keep up with the good listen

Although too long and some episodes could have been cut, overall it’s worth the listen. No podcast is perfect, no podcast can fund itself without ads, and no podcast can be released without someone accusing it of bias. This podcast has a perspective, but it’s not dishonest. I could have done without the Bryce episode due to how unsympathetic he comes across.

Very interesting and informative! But Patriot Mobile??? Really..I’m second guessing everything at this point.

"It’s the summer of 2020. After the brutal killings of unarmed Black Americans by law enforcement, the nation is a tinderbox of anger" what an amazingly dishonest, misleading and insidious way to open a description of a podcast 👍

Great information shared. Gives insight about the social structure and how social movements are undermined and infiltrated by governing institutions and structures.
