I absolutely love how 'Throughline' dives deep into historical contexts to provide fresh perspectives on current events. The storytelling is both engaging and insightful, making complex historical events accessible and relevant. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roden-john

I absolutely love how Throughline dives deep into history to connect the dots to our present. The way the hosts present complex topics in such a compelling and engaging manner makes every episode a must-listen. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/eco-friendly-packaging-in-the-food-industry--60716022

Huey Long died 9/10/35, not 9/8/36, as stated in this story

Flagrantly biased. You didn’t speak to a single anti Zionist, or include the antisemitism that fueled European support of the Zionist project. Really embarrassing episode for y’all

Good attempt but lacks historical nuance and integrity. The intro fails to highlight the provocations and the role of the PLO in the start of the Lebanese civil war. Furthermore, the shows failed to mention that: - Hezbollah invaded Beirut on May 7, 2008 where weapons were turned inwards. - Hezbollah hampered the investigation into the Beirut Port Explosion

I'm 9 minutes in and waiting for the actual episode to begin, while Throughline and Radiolab hosts gush on and on and on about how fantastic they all are. Couldn't they have done that before recording the episode...maybe just a quick 2 minute intro? I realize you're trying to share audiences with each other, but I think anyone that can skip over this drivel will, like I finally did at the 6 minute mark.

Throughline" is a concept that has been a fundamental component of storytelling and narrative structure for centuries. Whether you're an avid reader, a film enthusiast, or a writer yourself, understanding the throughline is crucial to creating and appreciating compelling narratives. https://www.fyple.co.uk/company/printing-mart-t76coh1/ In essence, the throughline represents the core thread or main storyline that runs through a story, connecting all the elements and events together. It's the spine of the narrative, the path that characters follow, and the central theme or message that the story conveys. A strong throughline is essential for engaging an audience and guiding them through the plot. https://www.mylocalservices.co.uk/Packaging+Mart-London-3211232.html

Great episode! The only thing I felt that you missed was covering the move to HBO. I would have been interested in learning thoughts from the original crew about that move and what consequences that has had for the show. Questions like "Did this move detract from the show's original mission?" would have been insightful.

The lack of creativity used to make this episode engaging kinda made me laugh. This was more of a conversation than the usual Throughline-style episode where you're captivated by the topic by way of storytelling, sound design and production.

Can't even begin to count how many times Molly Michelmore says, "Right?" She says it so much that Ramteen and Rund are doing it now too. So grating.
