Having taken a duck boat tour during a middle school field trip to Boston back in the early 00’s, this episode was downright spooky, as well as incredibly sad, to listen to. 😰

Another incredibly upsetting episode (complimentary)

Another great episode. I always saw these boats but never used them. What a heartbreaking and unnecessary tragedy.

My absolute favorite podcast for years atp.

Just finished listening to the latest @swindled.bsky.social episode. I can’t think of anything more abhorrent than poisoning service members and their families and then denying them healthcare. Our government should be ashamed of #camplejuene and what they allowed to happen

I’ve heard the commercials for Camp Lejeune thousands of times over the years, but never knew how bad it really was. This was a rough one.

#camplejeune @swindled.bsky.social, thank you for this.

One of my favorite pieces of media EVER and the only show (podcast or TV) that I've listened to more than once. Always a great day when a new @swindled.bsky.social episode drops

Every time A Concerned Citizen drops something like this I’m glad I subscribe

my GOODNESS. how was this worse than i remember 😳🫩

When we get it through our collective heads that white collar crime is more harmful to society and kills more people than drugs/blue collar crime we will be much better off. Listened to @swindled.bsky.social, this isn’t the first time millionaires or government officials have screwed people.

NEXT UP: The least sympathetic victim of all time?

I am currently loving the @swindled.bsky.social podcast. Keep it up, Mr. A Concerned Citizen.

Invisible Children came to my university when I was a student. I remember feeling really put off by their pitch. This was before I had a fully-functioning bullshit detector, but I remember how other students ravenously purchasing their shirts and bracelets made the whole thing feel gross and sus.

In unrelated news, we finished watching Inventing Anna on Netflix tonight (three years too late), and it's junk. Just pure shit. Characters, tone, motivations change every episode. Awful. Listen to the @swindled.bsky.social episode on her instead.
