It's so hard to believe so many different media forms today but this podcast truly demonstrates what investigative long form journalism can and should do. Two stories which bring different angles to light, the first showing what community can do and the second shining a light in a murky corners. Jason Moon, clearly an intelligent and empathetic person never allows any agenda other than the truth to form the podcast. Fully recommend.
