Rubin's daughter is everything. thanks you for sharing your real truth.
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.
greatest podcast of all times. The intro and John's voice all fantastic
Agree, absolutely fantastic.
one of the best podcasts I've ever heard 👏👏
@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!
fantastic podcast, binged them in one day!
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.
Love this Pod, great job Steve and Crew
would be a lot better in hour long episodes, its a very worthwhile story but way to fragmented in my opinion
so... Carter was a bad guy who didn't do this bad thing...
🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟 best documentary pod ever
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Excellent Podcast 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'm enjoying it is Ep7 the last one?
I am really new to this story,and I liked this intro,and looking forward for more episodes
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!
great but they need to have more episodes loaded at once
Amazing to hear Carter speak
