Great host, great subjects, superbly told.

The subjects are extremely sensitive and important, the reporting impeccable but does the music have to be so loud that it drowns the text and distracts from it? For those of us with baby boomers ears, it is intolerable. I love music, but, please!

…on investigative journalism! They leave no stone unturned! Truth is only enhanced by how well it is told! Thank you REVEAL!!

They literally recycle the same episodes?

Very happy they’re representing Gaza.

Possibly the best investigative journalism in the US. Unflinching and rigorous research on vital and consequential issues that are not always covered by the mass media, but have tremendous impact on the people involved and indication of the larger society. Can’t praise enough for the important and no doubt hard work of the team behind every story!

Not sure how I stumbled on to this podcast but it is what I was searching for. Interesting researched stories that make sense and easily understood. Keep up the great work!!

Wow! This episode was excellent! My senior thesis for undergraduate studies was on Chicanas/Latinas with HIV. I can recall reviewing medical journal articles on Latinos and seeing many gross generalizations & also the absence of information on women, much less Latinas. Thank you for covering this story! It was very powerful!

There are lots of repeats & broadcasts of other shows’ repeats since the merge with Mother Jones was announced. I think soon it won’t be around. Pity-it had been amazing.

The Sunblocked Solar podcast is outstanding. Highly recommend!

I could listen to Al tell a story every day. The reporting done by this team is outstanding, balanced and unapologetic. Five Stars!

Just started listening today and I can’t stop!

Well done! No one cares about the credits. Idk why you spend like 2 minutes rehearsing everyone involved in the production.

Mississippi Goddam! Mesmerized by your thorough reporting on Reveal. Add to that the deep dive into another tragic loss of Billey Joe’s young life, bright future and how his family is robbed of redemption. My heart broke with their hearts @ the description of the death scene and how police prevented and ordered that they not cross the tape line to identify their son’s body. Goddam all those in charge that day. Eagerly awaiting more episodes. Thank you for opening our eyes and hearts.

Interesting topics, just have to see thru the bias. Not a go-to podcast for that reason. I plan to unfollow.

Horrible show

Every episode of Reveal has moved me to tears. I’ve never regretted listening to a single episode. They make me glad to be alive and want to do more to help others as long as I am still here.

I always enjoy these stories and the highlight such important issues. Great journalism that gets the full story and asks the listener to draw their own conclusions.

Riveting, routinely devastating, and wholly necessary. “Reveal” sets the bar for investigative journalism.

Such great journalism and truth telling.

Excellent show, great investigations and story telling. Helps my work and opens my mind. Thank you!

Eye opening-liked how proponents of the cueing strategy were confronted & directly questioned

This is investigative journalism at its finest.

You continuously stretch my thinking by bringing facts to light. You fill the gaps with general reporting. Please continue with your efforts. I appreciate all you do.

Listening to an episode, and they are playing recordings are are easy to understand, but yet the reporter/narrator repeats the exact same line over and over. If he doesn’t have anything to add, he shouldn’t be inturupting. Also, the ep is discussing FBI trying to convince BLM protestors to assassinate a government official, but censors cussing, and the narrator apologizes. If you are willing to play people talk about murder, then grow up and let people hear the cuss words.

An important and necessary podcast

Reveal and host Al Letson should receive highest honors for engaging, informed investigative journalism that is doing a major public service. For anyone interested in about going deep on the most important issues of our time—racial justice and freedom struggles, climate change, mass surveillance and tech monopoly, the capture of government by capital—listen to this podcast! And thank you, Al Letson!

Thank you very much for the time and effort needed to report on this crucial story.

I’m a seventh generation Mississippian…this series was incredible!! It’s on point in its discussion of how many white Mississippians approach race- I’m white and have had too many 🤯 conversations with family members who refuse to acknowledge the influence the past has on the present. I hope that someday this case is reopened, and that the Johnson family and Letson someday find closure, as well as the truth of what happened to Billey Joe Johnson.

Long form journalism you can listen to. The work is so well done and the passion comes through. This is wonderful stuff.

Absolutely fantastic investigative reporting of deeply important stories. Mr. Letson is a thoughtful and skilled host; a truly exceptional show!

Al Letson is a national treasure. He and his crew do in-depth reporting on important issues and present their results in compelling stories.

An interesting perspective and great investigative journalism.

Just recently found your show. I’m really enjoying it. Kept glued to each episode. Thank you for your great investigating. I especially love listening to the host

This is an outstanding podcast! Exceptional journalism with compelling storytelling. They are dedicated to investigative reporting on critical, often overlooked, complex issues and topics. “Reveal” is a must listen and Al Letson is authentic and empathetic making each episode feel like a riveting conversation! Kudos to Al Letson and the team for outstanding work!

Incredible investigative reporting while honoring the experience of African-Americans in the south

This podcast has become one of my favorites. Some of the best investigative journalism and compelling stories.

So well done and informative!

This is one of the very best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. While the journalism is thorough and penetrating, it is also incredibly thoughtful. One example: The use of different incidents of racism unrelated to the death of Billy Joe Johnson at the start of each episode is very powerful; it creates important context, and leads the reader to understand Billy Joe’s story in a way that they simply wouldn’t otherwise. Highly recommended.

Thank you for digging so deeply into so many important yet not-widely-known issues. A must podcast for anyone alive today.

This is a must listen podcast. Learn about the topics of what is going on today. Investigative reporting at its best.

What I like about this show is how many new to me things I learn about. The show has good research and is very informative. The topics are not the overdone topics you see elsewhere.

...but this is definitely one of those. Listen to this if you want to hear intelligent, fascinating reporting on important topics. It is consistently great.

I am listening to Reveals recounting of the story of the release of the pentagon papers. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, the story is so exciting. I just keep saying wow! under my breath. BTW, this isn’t the first time a story on Reveal has affected me this.

This 7-part series on the death of Billey Joe Johnson in 2008 is so very powerful. Just an amazing piece of investigative journalism. Al Letson and his partner Jonathan Jones manage to probe every detail related to the investigation of this young man’s death and show that the investigation was flawed. But the podcast is so much more than that. They place the tragedy in the context of Mississippi history and culture, interspersing many stories of violence against other African Americans. Besides this exhaustive exploration of Billey Joe Johnson’s death, the two reporters share a bit of their relationship as they responded differently to the full oppressive weight of our racist past and present. The series made me think about a similar unexplained “suicide” of a classmate of mine inside a local jail in 1969 in Victoria, Texas. And the awful truth is that there are so many stories like this one, all submerged in our untold history. Al Letson managed to both accomplish an amazing feat of painstaking journalism while also telling us about his own lived experience of racism and the rage he feels about that experience. It is no small feat to be able to do both those things in a single creative piece. Thank you so much, Al and JJ, for this great work.

This show looks under rocks and changes the way you see the world.

I am extremely thankful for this podcast and journalism!

You know a podcast is phenomenal when they find the stories that make you furious. Revealing the truth is what they do and they do it in a way that gets you to do something.

I’ve loved this podcast for years but the recent coverage of Latin American issues has really taken it to another level. English speaking audiences interested in what’s happening in Mexico or Central America should check out the corresponding episodes. Excellent work Reveal team and correspondents.

Excellent production
