It’s fair and sharp and unafraid of delving into messiness and nuance. We loved their recent episode that gets all into the history of public defenders in the United States. It’s such engaging storytelling, and you come away really understanding so many of the current pitfalls of our legal system, how Sixth Amendment rights weren’t always defended, as well as the background of how crusading attorneys helped shape our system to become more quitale. They also did an incredible episode on the association of Grenada’s Prime Minister and his Cabinet, focusing on the quest of one widow who sought to expose her husband’s killers. They’ve also covered topics we love, like Abraham Lincoln’s politicking, the true history of Halloween, and one 1930s Oklahoma bank robber’s impact on Second Amendment rights. In today’s internet age, we’re constantly bombarded with hot takes and outright misinformation. NPR’s Throughline is a show we trust for in-depth research and cogent, thoughtful opinions. It’s a show where we go to learn even more about history, to find out all about the all-to-human tales that continue to shape our world today. Go back in time. Learn something knew.
