    When zoos get political. THE THICKET Episode 4 explores the world of Politics and Apologies; two words that seem like they should come from the same etymological latin root... but don't. Radio DJ Robert Randolph finds out the Cherokee Nation holds stake in his radio station, Will Wintergreen (yes, that's his real name) digs up a political scandal, and Charles Sundrich shows off his Thunder Crows.

Weird and Wonderful

I didn't realize it was fictional when I listened to the first episode, hilariously. But fiction or not, it's a great piece of storytelling.

I've only listened to the first episode but I'm excited to listen to more.

Smiling from ear to ear

Like most people, I listen to podcasts as part of my daily commute. So to have a podcast that blends incredible storytelling with fascinating characters has made my commute especially fun because I find myself smiling from ear to ear all the way to and from the office. The story feels immersive and grand, which only adds to my weekly anticipation for a new episode. I'm three episodes in and I can't wait for the rest of the story to release.
