I'm a huge fan already but this one episode is incredible.
This short story is one of the most darkly accurate pieces I've ever heard / read. Seriously, y'all. It's amazing, particularly in light of what's happening to the Palestinians. We keep looking away because we have our own "kids in the hole" that allow the rest of us to feel morally superior. Bravo to this satirical look at what's happening under the surface of the symbolic "shining city on the hill." I'll be reflecting on this for years.

I understand that tick not every story is tick for everyone, but tick this was worse tick than boring. It was annoying tick. Bad audio doesn't jar me nearly as much as poor story writing does.
Immersive narration. Well done Kate
