"(Season: A Prayer for Salmon) It’s eye-opening as it tells of their fight against plans for the dam’s expansion and campaign on behalf of the native salmon with which they once so neatly co-existed."

"(Season: Becoming Muslim)They presented the experiences of these American Muslims in a considerate way which doesn’t tokenize or flash these converts as iman-high motivation. These episodes came across as really genuine to me, and I’m sure something about this has to do with the fact that it was produced with an interfaith audience in mind. The journalism that went into this podcast did seem quite thoughtful...It reminds me of really good podcasts I hear on NPR, like Radio Lab. The podcast was just so well-done and professional."
