    Hind Hassan is a courageous woman!
    Thank you for this insightful, raw, informative, honest, truthful Podcast. As usual VICE NEWS delivers high caliber news. Seems like VICE is one of the few news outlet delivering independent unbiased news. Please continue. And thank you Hind Hassan for such an incredible job reporting the news!

    Insightful and deeply human
    Strongman was recommended to me by my friend, Sam Eagan. The creators and producers deliver on the premise, exploring various systems of power in an overarching meditation on humanity’s thirst for domination and control. What kept me listening until the end were the nuanced and deeply human accounts of the interviewees’ firsthand experiences of these power structures. Kudos to the team for telling the interviewees’ stories with great care and compassion. My favorite episode was Hierarchy (though Policing was a close second). Overall, this was a great listening experience. I can’t recommend Strongman enough.

    Interesting
    This podcast is super interesting. A lot of history has been hidden, and told and re-told to skew it favorably to certain people. I’m so happy to have found it.

    Enthralled
    One episode in and I find myself writing a review because IT DESERVES ONE. I’m enthralled. It’s satisfying so many parts of my brain while simultaneously shredding all emotional chords...very much forward to ep.2.

    Stellar job
    An incredibly important series for anytime, but especially these times we’re in and it just exemplifies the power of good journalism and what it can and should do.

    Production
    Sam Eagan is a producer who just doesn’t miss, except when it comes to Big AJ securing the bag. Well worth a listen

    Can’t Miss
    Vice News really has upped the bar lately. For approximately the last 7 months Vice News podcasts haven’t missed. Not once. They have some extremely talented individuals bringing much needed content to the masses. And the don’t. ever. miss. Looking forward the program diving seeping into this dynamic.
