Not a follower of boxing but seeing the various FB posts today (Tyson Fury Fight) amazing coincidence that I started listening to the podcast at the same time. V. Good.

@castbox, why do I spend so much time trying to get an episode to play wooden I want to bit when I don't, the app starts playing at random. Please fix this big as this series is so good and the experience is ruining it!

Just finished this series. I can not fault any of it. I would say it's the best series I've listened to. Thank you for doing it. I was always interested in What happened as I bought Desire the album from which the The Hurricane was from. I knew what the song was about but as a kid in the seventies did not know a lot about Rubin Carter. So once again thank you. Ron. Australia.

I'm really enjoying this series.I always loved Dylans's song and wondered about the real story of Hurricane. I've listened to This American Life 3 series of Serial and to S-Town and this is definitely in the same league. And actually I'm loving the suspense of waiting for each weekly episode. Great work guys!
